2018 Recruiting Class Could Be The Best Yet

[billyjack]

Seton Hall did nothing wrong.

On another note, Villanova and the Big East should've gotten Quinerly and his 2018 ratings boost, except that Arizona cheated to get his original commitment.

And Louisville won some last minute commitments from some highly-ranked players, and who knows what went on with those recruitments.

So the Big East is raking in top talent even though a bunch of football schools have been cheating for years, actually decades.

Seton Hall received it's second 3* commitment of the week today. NY Lighting AAU teammates Anthony Nelson and Jared Rhoden both committed to the Hall. They certainly aren't the top 30 guys the staff was gunning for this year, but the pair should give the Hall solid depth at guard over the next few years

Butler secures their first commit.

It's Markeese Hastings. He flew under the radar. Not ranked by the services. Jordan got on him before he blew up.

X just got a significant commitment in PF Evan Boudreaux. Averaged 17 ppg, 9 rpg at Dartmouth. Eligible in 2018 with TWO years of eligility remaining. Also visited Purdue and Colorado. I know Creighton was interested.

Per Jet, both of Creighton's 2018 recruits are now 4* on 24/7. Last five Creighton freshmen recruits have all been 4*. Hope that will translate! BE up to 10 4*

(sound of Stever's keyboard as he "researches" how that's really bad.)

Awesome to hear, congrats Creighton! Love seeing you guys growing up in a power conference you belong in. It's always fun when Creighton comes to MSG and I see lots of Creighton fans roaming around...I always end up striking up conversations very nice fans.

just looking....

there's only 18 4 star guys left.....

but the thing that's weird.... If memory serves me right, in the past, guys with a .9200 rating or better were considered 4 star guys.....

but this year, the 4 star cut off was at .935. If you go to the .9200 rating thing, you can add 2 more to the Big East....

Would also say AAC has done better this year with 6 their considered 4 stars and then from .9200-.9349 3 more guys.

So of the top 159 guys, the Big East and AAC have got 21 of those. It feels like things are much more spread out this year- not just going to all the P5 like we've been seeing.
