UCLA in 70's, but to be fair they only have on signee and he's a 5 star so they could end up higher than UC. UC will probably drop at the end of this thing as we have 4 signees already helping our rating.

Kind of hard to say that when just months earlier they smoked us in the most important of our 5 recent matchups

Not exactly. They won the NCAA tournament game a few years ago by I would argue the two football games were more important, especially the one in the Rose Bowl. Without that game we don’t have a football resurgence and are potentially living out an extended down period. Winning at UCLA in 2018 is one of biggest football wins ever for UC.

I think the tournament game has to be the biggest, BUT I agree the win at the Rose Bowl felt huge. They were off back to back 4-8 seasons and suddenly fans could start believing in UC football again.

That second round loss to UCLA was ages ago. We have owned them recently.

Yep, classes that are larger are almost always higher in the ratings by way of their sheer size. For example, Wichita State's 6-man 2019 class was ranked 41st while UC's 4-man class was ranked 44th, per 247. UC's average player rating was 91.42 and Wichita State's was 89.13.

Both good classes, for sure, but that's why it's important to look at average recruit ranking rather then just the raw class ranking to get a full picture of the quality of the class.

Come on! Going 10-8 in the AAC would give UC EXACTLY 17 wins.

If you are going to take your manic depressive act to this forum, can you please, at least, get your math right?

I live in Seattle and went last night to watch Tari play against Rainier Beach, where Nate Robinson’s son is a freshman starter. Lots of talent on the court for both teams. Garfield turned it on when they needed to in the last 5 minutes to win convincingly, and Tari showed flashes of dominance. I think he’s going to be a star for the Bearcats.
