With Matthew-Alexander Moncrieffe set to announce his college choice between a trio of Seton Hall, Georgetown and OSU later on today, we decided to lay down some predictions.
Kyle Boone is still out for a few days, but Marshall Scott and I threw ours down as OSU tries to add to its class of 2020.
Scott: Oklahoma State – At first when I saw the three finalists, I didn’t think things looked good for OSU considering the other two school were in the northeast (closer to home), but that means OSU must have really stood out among other schools. Also Chuba is an elite recruiter.
Porter: Oklahoma State – The behind-the-scenes talk is all OSU for him. At this point, I think I would be more surprised if he ended up at one of the other two schools than I was that Cade ended up at OSU. Unless something flips at the 11th hour, this feels like a lock. OSU will have a top-10 class going into the weekend.
Recruiting is always fluctuating, we may be top 10 going into the weekend but by next week we could be 15th. It just depends on where recruits end up picking. 247 sports has a calculator that you can play with to see if you added player X to your team, what would your overall ranking be.
I did this and got the score with MAM added. Gives us a score of 62.85, which if this was our final signing we’d have been ranked 16th in 2019 so I’d imagine we could fluctuate anywhere from 8 to 16 over the rest of the year.
You can’t base this class ranking on last year’s ranking order though. It was a different crop of players with a different spread of points. That’d be like saying ‘okay, last year’s class of freshmen averaged a B in their classes, so we can assume that this incoming class will as well’. No, you can’t. There may be fluctuations, sure, but it’s not realistic to assume we’ll be at a certain level just because it would have been that level last year.
I’m not solely basing it off of last years. All I said is that’s what we would have been last year. And I also proceeded to say “I bet we fluctuate somewhere between 8-16” meaning hey we’re prolly gonna be around these rankings, not we’re gonna be 16 cuz that’s what last years team with that score got.
