Losing a great group of seniors. Could also lose all 3 sophomores, Rennicks, Muse, and Dorsey to the pros. All 3 super talented.

Hopefully, the Hoosiers can bring home #9. Yeagley will have a little rebuild next year. Looks like a solid group of recruits.

Thats a very strong class. Like I said recruiting is much better now and why we should keep going what we have done recently. I am waiting on the actual press release with the ranking of each player but keep in mind soccer only ranks the top 10 as 5* hence why we see so many fours. Dorsey and Rennicks were actually theoretically 4's but were ranked in low 20's. Given soccer's restrictive use of 5* I use Basketball terms and call anyone in top 30 a 5* and anyone in top 100 as 4 (Soccer generally 10-50 is 4 and 50-150 is 3) like every other sports. Thats why I am waiting on their actual ranking spot because all these 3 and 4 stars could basically be 4 and 5 stars by any reasonable definition.

Rankings:

1. Penn ranked no. 12 in country so highest ranked recruit since Zavaleta and higher than Dorsey or Rennicks so should be elite immediately. He is the one I said was a 5 on some website and to any reasonable site besides top draw that's a 5* anyway you slice it.

2. Morris is 61 and given 4* so that is correct and should be solid

3. Conger is 81 and given 3* but is a 4 by a more reasonable definition

4. Berzerra is 79 so again a 3 by top draws weird standards but a 4 by normal standards

Others are unranked nationally but have high regional rankings among the 3*.  Team ranking is 6th in the nation. Either way it is very much in line with our last 2 recruiting classes numbers wise so it appears we have kept the momentum going despite replacing entire team.

I kind of expect next year to be sort of like Villanova in basketball this year where we start ranked highly based on last year but struggle early and take a bad loss or 2 due to all new players but by conference season have it together and be right in contention for Big Ten title. Difference will be we will probably only get a top 16 seed and have to go on road after one round due to early struggles but should be right in contention and can maybe pull a Maryland and pull some upsets and win it all when playing best soccer.
