I am a bit disappointed with the 2024 recruiting so far. Currently ranked #38 in the country in Team Rankings and historically TCU’s best recruiting rankings land in the 20’s like last year at #21.
But forget about Team Rankings because they are much influenced by the total number of commits. More importantly I was hoping for a playoff bump instead of a retreat in the average commit score (the commits’ star ranking). The 2024 Frogs have an 87.70 average with 17 commits. The 2023 Frogs’ class average was 88.70 with 23 recruits.
In the Big 12, UCF, #26 and Texas Tech, #29 are higher, having 18 commits with a significantly better average commit score, 88.55 and 88.39 versus TCU’s 87.70.
Colorado only has 8 commits but they are the highest average at 89.33; they are choosing to be more selective and may be planning on scoring big in the transfer portal again.
I think the second class after a successful season benefits the most, but maybe the 2025 class will get a playoff bump. I was hoping that the 2022 on-field success, one of the two most successful Frog seasons of the modern era, would lead to the most successful recruiting class of the era, seems logical, but maybe that Georgia humiliation really dampened the affect.
Note BYU, the lowest average at 85.73 with only 12 commits; the concern is they may never recruit like a good P4 school. Why go to a Mormon school if not Mormon.
Houston is stinking too with only 8 commits at 86.33.
