It may be a deep class with everyone getting folks- but it's not the dominating class in terms of what '14 had with 4 top 20 teams. I think it goes to what you look at for things- do you want the great team classes, or the depth.
In fact with team classes- this would be the worst class yet for the Big East.
And look at what you said 1st post:
Personally, I think the team rankings are a lot more important than the player rankings.
....your argument now is that if no more recruits signed, this wouldn't be a great class? In November? ....What?
As a St. John's fan, don't bother. Here is a look at the EARLIEST our 4 star recruits have signed/verbally committed over the years.

2/3 signed/verballed AFTER November

Yes this was abnormal because Mullin joined in April, but still proves how many 4 stars can be signed even in April/May (6 months after your assumption).
http://stjohns.247sports.com/Season/201 ... ll/CommitsIn 2014 there were no 4/5 stars recruited

Only 1 commit, Rysheed Jordan, who signed in April.
Is St. John's a bit abnormal? Yes. But the fact reasons this is ONE school and 6/7 of our 4 star recruits in the new Big East verballed after November. None of these players would have been on this list in November of prior years.
Yes, it is possible that the new Big East won't sign anyone else, but I don't think that's probable so I won't waste time arguing with you over a strange assumption. If by May no more recruits have signed then I'll be happy to revisit this.
Go ahead though and tell me about how 99% of all recruits have already signed and the last 1% is going to Duke and Kentucky. And make sure to omit JUCOs who don't sign until late in the process. Just know that I won't be listening.
