Recruiting rankings will drive fans crazy.
Look at the 247Sports Composite Team Rankings and you’ll scroll all the way down to 17 before finding Auburn. How could that be with the players the Tigers have gotten commitments from this cycle?
Does it really matter?
Not right now. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying recruiting rankings don’t matter. They do — very much. Auburn has done well this decade, with its recruiting classes from 2010 through 2018 being ranked 6, 5, 11, 10, 6, 8, 9, 9 and 12. That’s how you build a national contender.
