Everybody acting like the 2027 recruiting year is all about Oregon and Texas stacking five-stars and somehow that means we are falling behind. I have watched this same storyline play out three times now since Kirby got here. We sit at No. 11 in the ESPN class rankings with zero five-stars right now and the panic merchants are already typing their obituaries for our program. It is July 7th. The 2027 class does not sign for six more months. Do you people remember what happened in 2024 when we were supposedly "struggling" on the trail and then closed with a top-three class? Same thing happened in 2025. Same thing in 2026. The difference between us and the flashy programs is we do not need to announce every commitment with a hype video and a live stream. We evaluate. We develop. Our coaching staff has been doing this long enough to know that February and March rankings mean nothing when you. We landed Kaiden Prothro. We have the best tight end room in America coming back. We have a defesne that reloads instead of rebuilds. I would rather be sitting at No. 11 with a roster full of dudes who want to be Dawgs than be Oregon at No. 1 with a roster built on bag games and transfers who will leave the second a bigger offer comes along. The playoff committee does not care about your 247Sports star count. They care about who shows up in October and November. And we have been showing up every single year. Let these other schools win the offseason. We will win the season. Again.
