Will Muschamp has passionate opinion about recruiting rankings. Is he right?

South Carolina will sign up to four more players in February as college football wraps up the Class of 2019. It will not be enough players to significantly affect the Gamecocks’ national recruiting ranking, which currently stands at No. 21, and USC head coach Will Muschamp will continue not to care the least bit about that fact.

“I never in my life looked at a recruiting ranking, nor will I ever because I know a lot more than they do,” Muschamp said.

Muschamp came to South Carolina with a reputation as a strong recruiter, and it became clear quickly upon his arrival that his opinion of the evaluation of players made by people outside the sport was low.
