A fairly decent showing for the ACC. Miami, FSU, and Clemson are leading the way (I don't count ND). Also notable is that the Big12 only has 1 in the top 25 and 3 in the top 40 (I'm not counting OUT as Big12 schools).

Wake at #52 is much higher than I expected.

There are still 6 teams below them including two below 100, that should be unacceptable.

UVa’s high school recruiting has been horrible. I’m surprised that Tony Elliott has struggled even more so than Bronco Mendenhall.

Nevertheless, the importance of NSD is declining. Transfers are now much more significant than ever. It seems like lots of recruiting energy has shifted into the transfer portal.

Virginia Tech at #45 is utterly, totally unacceptable!

As I recall, even when VT was clicking on all cylinders their recruiting classes were rarely over #20.

True, usually we'd get 3-6 4-stars, a 5-star every other year and all the rest 3-stars.

Well now we got 4 4-stars and less total recruits and are ranked lower.

I don't have a problem with it as transfer recruiting is so much more important than High school recruiting. But you'd think every one's NSD rankings would be about that same as everyone is transfer recruiting.

High school recruiting is becoming less important at Louisville. For the last three seasons we’ve had one of the Top Portal classes in the country. I don’t see recruiting ever returning to a majority high school athlete endeavor at UofL ever.

High School recruiting is so 1980.
