Based on the ESPN ASun recruiting page, how would you rate the recruiting classes? Below is my "not a recruiting expert" opinion. Let me know how you would rate.

1. Stetson - 3 players with an average rating of 84+ makes this class tops so far. It also seems to have a good mixture of inside and outside players.
2. UNF - They on have 1 player on the list, but he's rated at 83 which should be helpful on a team needing more talent.
3. Belmont - Only one player rated at 82. Being from a fifth year program, he should have some extra game experience with a higher level of competition to prepare him. Not on the list is a 6-11 270 lb. big man for the future after hopefully a red shirt year.
3. (tie) Campbell - One HS recruit rated at 82 and some junior college inside help that is rated in the 70s. Campbell needs the inside help, but will the 70s rated inside guys be able to contribute well enough right away?
4. Mercer - 5 players on the list with the top rated at 85. That is nice, but there are a lot of players rated in the 70s to replace some strong players that Mercer depended on. It seems to not improve the talent level for the team.
5. Jacksonville - A fairly strong shooting guard to replace the void left by Ben Smith. Will he be enough?
6. Lipscomb - They need a PG and they signed one rated at 78.
7. Kennesaw - 1 SF rated at 78 on a team that seems to have a strength in the forward position.
8. Upstate - Adds 3 players, but no player is rated above 76. It doesn't look like they are improving the talent level.
9. Eastern Tennessee State - ETSU has the luxury of not losing much talent off their NCAA tournament team. They only sign one player rated at 70. At least they have time to develop him for the future.
