Not unexpected, but recruiting is just not going that well.   On paper, NT is still lagging most of the conference.  Losing too many recruiting battles to peer programs.

Still early and a lot of kids that are not highly rated will have good senior years and show up, although summer camps reduce these numbers.  Let's wait until Feb. 17 before initially grading this class.

Everyone is aware that recruiting has a long way to go.   However, I've hear the same thing about a lot of what turned out to be very suspect classes.  Those good senior years can also be sub-par senior years, that goes both ways.  

Despite what everyone wants, the ratings are more often right than wrong both on an individual and team basis.   We can ignore what is actually going on,  and hope we have one of those mythical coaching staffs that is just better than everyone else at identifying great under recruited players.  

I think and hope NT will start getting some higher rated high school players as the year progresses, but NT is losing a lot of recruiting battles that they have to start winning for this regime to be successful.
