Is this recruiting class the worst in 20yrs?

[standiego]

Very difficult to analyze a recruiting class until they play and for most of the HS recruits it can be a few years

Would also add that now a days you may have to add the Transfer players especially when coaches need to find replacements quicker then they did 5 years ago

Did notice the Aztecs added some JC DL and OL - in the recruiting class that would guess they are hoping will enroll in January so they can participate in Spring Practice

Think the DL was hit the hardest in graduation losses and the OL still needs to develop

Will be interesting to see who else may leave the Aztec team and IF they can bring in more Portals players

When rating the Aztec recruits - lets be real - they are not going to be able to out recruit P5 schools especially the better ones . Think this is where it is so important to have good recruiters and then Develop the players - While defensive coaches have done a good job - the offense has Not . Unfortunately the Former OC was not able to get the recruits and or develop them

so maybe take a better look at this class in a couple of years and also do it comparing to Non P5 schools

Better yet Hope the Aztecs can get into a P5 Conference - so they can pay to get even better coaches and be able to recruit the better players

A simple way to judge the recruiting quality is see who else offered them.

Is there a difference between a guaranteed offer of scholarship , a second tier offer where a school has them in mind but waiting to hear from others or even those who have inquired ?

SB Nation has rated the top 10 HS recruits for the incoming class for all MWC and SDSU has 4 of the top 10. Not bad for the worst recruiting class in 20 years

Nice to see 2 offensive players in the group an OL and QB

According to 247 our recruiting class had the highest average player rating of any school in the conference.

As would be expected according to the chart 3 star rating was the highest for all schools -

Also note where UNLV was on the chart

Where things have changed is the Portal Transfers can really be a game changer and in addition the amount of Super Seniors a team may have
