USC ranked #5 overall and having a good year. They are benefiting from COVID a bit(local guys staying home a bit more), but they also did some real work on improving their recruiting staff in the offseason. Most of their high ranked guys are skill guys, but I do like the front 7 guys on defense they have so far.
Oregon is ranked #7 overall so far and has been on a hot streak. We've been awful recruiting WR's, but we hired some ACE recruiter at the position from the fine establishment of South Carolina. (apparently got canned as OC, but is a great WR recruiter). So this year, we are cleaning up there. If not for Ohio State, we'd have the best OL class in the country. As long as Cristobal is here, I'm confident we're going to recruit well on the OL.
I'm curious to watch more on Ty Thompson's tape(QB) to see if he might be the next great Oregon QB or not. Not super confident in anyone on the current roster leading us to the playoff territory. Jaddarius Perkins is unrated as a Juco player, but he's going to be an absolute baller at DB. Probably Jevon Holland's replacement after this season.
Whether we have another solid top 8-12 class or leap into top 5 discussion depends on the battle with USC for Foreman(#1 ranked DL/#1 ranked overall) who backed out of his Clemson commit. He's probably USC at this point, but if Helton has another dumpster of a season, you never know.
Cal actually has the 3rd ranked class in the Pac-12, which is ranked in the 30's.
ASU was doing a LOT of talking about taking over recruiting in SoCal against us after they beat us this year and took away some recruiting analyst from us, but we are recruiting all the best players from Arizona, 2 years running now.
UW is a team to keep an eye on as they have 2 of the nation's 7 top recruits in J.T. Tuimolaoau(Eastside Catholic) and Emeka Egbuka in their back yard. Both are thought to be Ohio State leans, but with Covid and Tui's family all out west, UW is a team to watch. I think a lot depends on how Lake looks in year 1. They could end up with 3 5* players in the class with Sam Huard headlining thus far.
I also think OSewe is putting together a decent class. They've hit on some transfers 2 years in a row now and got a really solid 4* RB from Jefferson in Portland. I would be surprised if Jonathan Smith doesn't have them getting back to the 6-6 7-5 days shortly.
UCLA is on the radar as a top 50 class, but nobody else is really worth mentioning.
