According to Scout, the Bucks have 8 players in the top 100 verbally committed, which is more than any other team (Okla also has 8). You would think there would be a much higher point emphasis on getting the best of the best. Rivals puts more of an emphasis on quality of players rather than pure numbers. Look @ A&M up there @ #4 with 28 committs and the majority being 3 stars and no 5 stars. Seems to me, as an example: class of 15 of 4-5 5 stars and the rest of the majority made up of 4 stars is better than 20+ and a few 4's and mainly 3's. Regardless, the Bucks have a great class coming in. Already anxiously awaiting the Spring Game next year.

I think Scout out thinks themselves, and half the time they can't even explain how they do their rankings...It has something to do with the number of Wr's that were ranked by the site and then the number WR that is in the specific class...
So Mike Brewster being ranked as a C, even tho he is one of the very best OL in the country will hurt the rankings because of the small number of C's that are ranked...
But I am with you, there is no weak spot in our class, there is no guy you really look at and say he is recruited on potential to become a good player, most guys could play anywhere in the country as frosh, but we are loaded so some will redshirt...We filled all of our needs besides RB which we were hurt with the torrence situation...We got speed, size, depth on both lines, best QB in the country, best player in the country, best group of olineman in the country, a stud wrestler for a DT, a very under the radar 4 star DE, 2 of the best lbs in the country, and some underrated DB's to go along with with the number of Db's we brought in last season...
Needless to say I would put our class up against any class in the country and not think twice...
