Large yes, but can someone explain why we are recruiting more rated in 80's than 90's? Is it we re prioritizing Offense more since Sark is more known for offense? Please don't say they are all under rated.

I don't think it is a priority issue, why prioritize one side of the field when you can go after whoever you want on both sides?

A few things - there are only so many players rated in the 90s, about 250. Players rated in the 80s are not JAGs either - from the last recruiting class you are talking about guys like - Tyanthony Smith, Daniel Cruz, Jordan Johnson-Rubell, Freddie Dubose, Christian Clark, etc. Also, this staff isn't relying on recruiting rankings and chasing stars, they recruit based on their evaluation.

We will likely land a good number of players ranked in the 90s (12/22 last year) and then a good chunk of guys ranked in the high 80s. Is a guy like Stephon Shivers, ranked 81 right now, a take? Well, he would be lower ranked than anyone we took last year. Could be a guy the staff likes a lot and he'll see his stock rise, or could be a guy they want to keep warm as a back up plan.

Big-time LB and will be a Coach Nansen recruitment all the way.



“Man, they’ve been a powerhouse program and truly one of the bluebloods since I was born,” Tagoa’i told 247Sports at the OT7 Golden Ticket tournament. “They’ve been consistent and always competing. They have been winning a lot the last few seasons and that’s something I know I would want to be a part of.”

“Coach Nansen came down with coach Sark back in January, and that was my first time meeting them both,” Tagoa’i said. “They both were really genuine, told me things that I wanted to hear, and we’re still building the relationship."

“This is going to be my first time out there so I’m excited about that. I’m not tied into anything specific when I get on campuses. I know a lot of guys talk about facilties and things on campus, but I’m more tied into the coaching staff and relationships. The weight room and the facility will obviously be things I look at there but for me it’s going to be about the connection I have with coaches.”
