Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics...

It appears that this year's recruiting might add one more example to the old adage "There are lies, damned lies and then there are statistics". While we're going to end with a terrific class this year, because of the numbers and the way recruiting rankings are calculated, we're likely to finish much lower than what the class should actually represent... No biggie to me, just an interesting observation. Top 25 year in and year out over the last 4 and top 15 or top 10 next year and it's going to continue to get better and better... but having said that, so long as Franklin continues down the admirable path of recruiting, so long as we don't "process" kids, our rankings might not wind up as high as they could. For the record, I am very much happy with that, doing it the right way and still winning on the field makes those wins that much more satisfying to me.

What an incredible finish to the '17 class and start to the '18 class, I'm perplexed as to how anyone could be unhappy with how things are going right now.
