We take a look at how the 2016 class stacks up to past classes. HINT: It's pretty good.
Internet recruiting rating sites have been given college football fans something to talk about during the off season for around 15 years now. The Gophers just signed their best rated class in the Kill/Claeys era. I was curious to see how this class stacked up with others and dove into the 247 composite ratings. What I found was that this is also the best Minnesota class since 2008 and the second best class since recruiting sites started popping up.
Individual player ratings go back to 2002, but those early ratings gave all 3 stars the same score, all 2 stars the same score, etc.
