Seems like recruits know that we're the next best thing outside of the 'P5'

All of our schools are averaging 3* (80 or greater) recruits according to 247 except for Tulsa (79)

http://247sports.com/Season/2016-Footbal...erence=AAC

CUSA only has 2 schools avg. 80 or above (LT & WKU), MAC has 2 (Akron & UB), SBC has one (Louisiana-Monroe) and MWC only has 7 (BSU, CSU, Nevada, SJS, Wyoming, SDS & Hawaii)

AAC has 7 schools averaging 81 or greater per recruit (UH, UCF, USF, UCONN, Temple, Memphis & ECU) and C-USA has none, MAC has none, SBC has none, while the MWC only has 4 (BSU, CSU, Nevada & Hawaii).

AAC has 6 schools currently in the top 70 overall which is as much as the rest of the g5 conferences combined.

I know that over half of ECU's recruits were also offered by P5 schools and I'm sure most of our conference is in the same boat. I don't believe that there is another school outside the AAC (throughout the G5) that can say that other than Boise.

I know it's early but I think this is a good sign for us. UH is absolutely killing it btw. Good job Coogs!

This is on pace to be the highest rated ECU class in 20 years after what transpired today and last week.

UC has 3 star DB and 2 4 Star WRs (transfers) not on the list ......WRs eligible for 2016.

We've always done more with less. Now that we are at least doing decent hopefully we can really make some noise.

That is a ton this early for G5.

Can someone riddle me what is going on at Western Michigan and why they have a top 50 class right now? Cheating?

They had a good one on paper last year also. I think lots of transfers, not sure.

It's because they have 18 commits already. These rankings reward a class for avg. rank and for overall number of recruits. W. Michigan has a bunch of recruits but many of them are average players although that's still impressive for them.

UCF has the 2nd highest avg. in the conference but they only have 5 total recruits so far. I imagine they will shoot up the rankings in the next few months but I wonder why it's slow for them right now. They might just be purposefully seeking a small class like ECU did last year.

Chad is going to put SMU, back into the thick of things real quick, I believe..

I love the Houston and SMU recruits. Basically saying screw the Htown takeover and Dtown takeoever, let's takeover Texas!!!

Most of them are friends so it's fun to see the Twitter exchanges. Both coaches have energized the recruits.

I was banned from the WVU site today. It seems their fans are not happy we just took 3 straight recruits from them this week that had West Virginia offers.

Poor mountaineers
