ESPN’s Top-20 recruiting classes as of today (5-17-07):

1. USC
2. Syracuse
3. Florida
4. Indiana
5. Kansas State
6. Duke
7. Kentucky
8. Arizona
9. Ohio State
10. Depaul

13. Texas A&M
14. Cincinnati
15. Oklahoma

Five Big-12 teams on the list as well as five Big East teams, four Big-10 teams, two teams from both the SEC and Pac-10, and only one for the ACC! Kentucky made a big jump with the addition of Patterson. Too bad! And where the hell is Kansas on that list?

Post by: ksu_FAN on May 17, 2007, 10:25:52 AM: I think #4 is probably about right for us. Keep in mind those rankings factor in JUCO recruits.

You also have to remember Gibbons put Yearby in his Top 100.

Obviously, there are hundreds — perhaps even thousands — of more qualified candidates to be KSU’s an assistant coach than a two bit high school coach whose high school coaching career in Michigan just happened to get launched at the same time his Yearby was approaching prep stardom...The early word is that Deilvez Yearby is KSU’s best player. He’s quite a package. We won’t know, however, if The Package (Delivez) was worth The Deal (Benny) until the 2006-07 season.
