1. Georgia is No. 1. Again. The Bulldogs inked the nation’s No. 1 overall class in 2018 and now 2020, making them one of only three programs in the last 15 years to post multiple No. 1 classes: Alabama, Georgia and Florida. Of note, the Crimson Tide and Gators both won multiple national championships during that period. Georgia is still looking for a title. The Bulldogs signed 10 of the top 60 players in the country.

Quote

7. Texas A&M finished with the No. 6 overall class, which gives the Aggies back-to-back top 10 classes for only the second time in program history. But Jimbo Fisher’s second (4th) and third (6th) classes are at another level. Only Kevin Sumlin’s 2014 group (5th), which included Myles Garrett, is better than either of Fisher’s 2020 haul. Texas A&M enters 2020 with the roster ammo to actually compete with Alabama, LSU and Auburn.

Quote

8. Before moving out of the SEC, it’s worth noting six of the top eight classes come from the conference. That’s never happened before in the modern recruiting era. 

Quote

9. Nineteen of the 30 accounted-for five-stars – Zachary Evans is still on the board – signed with just five programs: Georgia, Alabama, Clemson, LSU and Ohio State. That quintet signed 47 of the top 100 prospects as well. “There’s an arms race between Georgia, Clemson, Ohio State, Alabama and LSU,” Georgia QB signee Carson Beck told 247Sports this summer.

Quote

11. Oregon finished with the top-ranked class (No. 12) in the Pac-12 for the second straight year. The Ducks are the only non-USC Pac-12 team since 2002 to lead the conference rankings in back-to-back cycles.

Quote

15. On the other end of the spectrum, there were a few historically bad classes.

Virginia Tech sat at 70th nationally late Wednesday afternoon. The Hokies had never ranked worse than 43rd (2002) in a single cycle before this year. (yay)

Arizona finished Wednesday afternoon at 64th. That’s the worst class in program history.

Illinois had the worst effort in the Power Five, finishing 88th nationally. That is the worst ranking in program history. The Illini only took 13 commits and will hit the transfer portal hard. But it's still a puzzling showing. 

Florida State finished at 21st nationally, which is its worst-ranked modern recruiting class. It's probably not fair to criticize the Seminoles and Mike Norvell in a transition class. But the number is not a good one for a program that should be around the top 10 every year.

The Trojans finished 55th nationally. Keep in mind, the previous worst mark in program history was 20th, which happened last year. 

Quote

20. There are always a number of recruits with famous parents each cycle. Here are a few to keep an eye on from the 2020 class: Four-star Stanford RB signee EJ Smith (son of NFL Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith); Three-star FAU RB signee Frank Gore Jr. (son of Pro Bowl RB Frank Gore); Three-star Clemson safety Tyler Venables (son of Clemson DC Brent Venables); Three-star Georgia quarterback Jackson Muschamp (son of South Carolina HC Will Muschamp); Three-star FAU athlete Willie Taggart Jr. (son of FAU HC Willie Taggart); Three-star safety Gabe Taylor (brother of Pro Bowl NFL S Sean Taylor); Three-star Texas State wide receiver Jaycob Horn (son of NFL Pro Bowl receiver Joe Horn), Three-star WR Brenden Rice (son of NFL Hall of Famer Jerry Rice).

That's like the 2020 crootin version of when people in the 1950's just walked up to an owner of business and were like "let me work for you" over and over until they got the job.

Can't hate it.

Haven't posted in forever. This is Shaw's 1st legitimately great class in a few years.

For those that don't know Tanner Mckee is in this class after serving his 2 year mission. I think he's every bit the prospect DJ Uiagalelei is.

We finally signed a vintage Stanford OL class. Drake Metcalf is one of the most egregious underranked players I have seen in a while,  he is everything you want in an interior offensive lineman

Also really like the DBs we signed

On your Hokie bit. Didnt yall only sign 15 guys? 10 more like most teams would have boosted them easily into the top 50.

Bad thing I noticed. Only 1 kid is even from Virginia. Got 2 from Georgia, Florida and SC. Why is this coach not making any kind of waves in state? Hes been here long enough to establish himself now with the major schools. Especially ones of the Hampton Roads region. Youre our resident Hokie expert. Whats going on with that? Any rumbles as to why?
