2018 Recruiting Class Could Be The Best Yet

[billyjack]

I wasn't the one who every time the Big East gets someone posts stuff like a moderator here who said "5 Top 100 recruits and 6 on top 150 so far for Big East per Rivals. ZERO for AAC....just sayin.". Why do people here have to post that stuff? Can anyone please answer that. Don't want to be compared to them in the regular season but come recruiting time, it's game on.

What Gumby said...and I will add, again, that if you went away so would all of the discussion of the AAC. You are a fraud who pretends to be a fan of the Big East. And even when you attempted to "come clean," you said you attended NOVA on a Big East board, only to have to explain that it's a community college in Northern Virginia, not that stellar academic institution in Philadelphia that's a member of this conference. It's almost like you are intentionally making yourself look like a feckin fool.

Dude- Someone posted who lives in the DC area that said what I said was a normal thing. Folks here say NOVA all the time and it means Northern Virginia.

You're on a freakin Big East board... so 99% of us will associate "Nova" with Villanova. It's like if i go to the Apple customer message boards and start bragging that i love me some PC... right?

Heck, it sounds reasonable to me...Nova (Northern radnOr pennsylVaniA comm college). Damn that was difficult to do, I'll stick with Villanova.

Steverrrr attended northern va comm college? Why? Couldn't afford Phoenix or Troy St?

You are right, the MWC would be 3rd in this pod of mid-majors But the A10 compares favorably witht he AAC since formation and currently has the lead.

2014* RPI Bids
A10 6 6
AAC 8 4
*Includes Louisville

2015 RPI Bids
A10 7 3
AAC 8 2

2016 RPI Bids
A10 7 3
AAC 8 4

2017 RPI Bids
A10 8 3
AAC 7 2

The AAC Conference average RPI Ranking is 7.75 with an average of 3 Bids
The A10 Conference average RPI Ranking is 7 with an average of 3.75 Bids

The AAC is poised to have a better year this year I think but they are clearly not a stronger mid major than the A10

BOOM!

"****crickets****"

Expect the: "yeah but the AAC didn't have WSU the last 4 years, and, and, and, UCONN has just been really unlucky, and, and, and SMU is is awesome--you'll see, and, and, Cincy is still the 3rd best team in OH, and, and, and Memphis was in the FF not that long ago, and, and, and Temple is the same as it's always been, no drop off there...and, and, and..." It's coming, believe me.

Spot on.

Man, we stink so far...only 4 players in the Top 99.

Thanks for compiling. I'll save folks the time. Please do not make any snap judgements on the below. These are presented just as data points with no judgement attached. Just an FYI, DePaul has another recruit that came in at #383.

A10 2018 recruits (so far) :
#38
#303
#330
#359

AAC 2018 recruits (so far):

With 3 recruits in the Top 300 vs. 1 for the A10, you gotta give the nod the the AAC in this one fellas.

Absolutely huge get for Marquette and Wojo. He went to every single one of Joey's games this summer, showing how much he wanted him here. Next year's team will be stacked.
