#7 by Hoopscoop (whoever they are) after Joseph’s signing. If only this would translate to a #7 team.

Gophers’ class rated #12 by HoopScoop and #15 by Hoopmasters BEFORE Joseph signed.

I think I will defer to the people who rate recruiting classes professionally, and not trust the opinion of someone who thinks either Kevin Payton, Jamal Abu-Shamala, or both should be starting for the Gophers

I guess you can spin it anyway you want, but the Gophers’ recruiting class is no better than top 25.

Seriously, if you move it up farther, you are say they did better than Duke or Connecticutt, but those type of teams signed just a couple of players…oh, yeah, they happened to be top players. Rating the Gophers’ class highly is just ridiculous, because Duke and UConn and others have 2-4 scholarships per year, and they’re doing it year after year (they don’t have lots of players transferring or quitting).
