Scrolling through that ESPN 2027 class rankings and seeing some of the names ahead of us just makes me laugh. These national pundits sit in their studios and pull up spreadsheet numbers and act like they know what is happening. We are building something different in the dead period right now. The quiet work that happens in these summer months with our staff out there bbuilding relationships. I have seen the 247 Sports and On3 boards light up about some of the kids visiting the Plains this month. The buzz is real. People forget that the same evaluators who rank classes in June get proven wrong every single December when the early signing period hits. We have got guys in the pipeline that are not going to pop on these ESPN lists until they camp. And the staff is targeting a specific type of athlete that fits what we are doing. Not just chasing stars. Chase production and fit and watch the rankings sort themselves out later. I am watching how Ohio State and Oregon and Georgia year through these top five classes every year and it. Indiana lost half their title team. Oklahoma State brought in fifty players. The game is changing. Auburn is playing the long game on the trail and the 2027 board is going to surprise a lot of.
