Apparently there is some good recruiting news on the way soon. Haven’t been following all that close, anyone know who it might be about?

Which Power 5 team’s current 2021 recruiting results (good or bad) is the biggest surprise to you? — Jeff L.

Well, this is a mailbag, so let’s just do both.

The most surprising class, on a positive note, is Oregon

Now for the not-so-fun part: picking the most surprisingly bad class. Right now, TCU has only seven verbal commitments, and its class is rated No. 109 nationally. The ranking is appalling, for sure, but that’s because the number of commits is so low. The reason for my surprise? The Horned Frogs had some strong recruiting momentum, especially after landing five-star running back Zachary Evans to cap off the 2020 cycle, which brought their class up to No. 24 nationally. Also, take into account that visits have been nixed because of COVID-19, and you’d think TCU, which is located in a very talent-rich area, would benefit from prospects being close and familiar.

There are reasons not to panic. TCU doesn’t have a lot of seniors, so this isn’t going to be a big recruiting class. I get it. But right now, the Horned Frogs have only one commitment who ranks in the top 500 nationally, and we’re getting dangerously close to the early signing period. The No. 109 overall class in 2021? That’s bad

SMFH.... what a ridiculous article. Our average rating per recruit would rank us somewhere in the 30's. Worrying about our class because we aren't taking many kids this year is beyond ridiculous.

Not really recruiting but Patterson hired two new analysts which have history with him and the staff, one on each side of the ball.

Eric Buchanan defensive analyst-former DB at TCU under Patterson and was a GA in 2015 working with STs and DBs. Has coached DBs, STs and RBs at Iowa Western and Lamar.

Tim Beck offensive analyst - spent 33 years as an assistant and then HC at Pittsburg State until last December. Originally hired by coach Fran and has coached with both CGP and Jerry Kill. Went 82-35 as HC. As OC under Chuck Broyles in 2004 PittSt broke a 118-year-old scoring record, tallying 837 points (55.8 ppg), setting NCAA all-division records for rushing yards (5,320) and total offensive yards (8,976).

Sounds great. Coach P must be taking this head coaching gig seriously.
