I’d say more on the level of Michigan, Penn State and Georgia. A notch below the top tier
Im not sure how you dont include Georgia in the top tier when it comes to recruiting. Their class rankings the past 5 years:
2020 - 3 - with a higher average player score than both 1 and 2
2019 - 2
2018 - 1
2017 - 3
2016 - 6
If a top 3 class 4 out of 5 years isnt top tier, I dont know what is.
