Top-10 could be possible, if we have a large enough class. (Of course it has been argued that we will have a large class this year.) 

But I think in our case, with the frequency with which we take smaller classes (due to students staying on through graduation, and seldom losing players to either transfers, legal issues, or leaving prematurely for the NFL), a top-10 in average star rating is more important.  As long as we end up with that, I think I would be satisfied even if we ended up ranked in the mid-teens.  Given our success at retaining and developing players, the bounty from a class of, say, 20 top recruits, could be fantastic.  (Even if our overall ranking is a tad low because we don't haul in a full 25 players).

Is there a consensus out there on about how large we can expect this class to be?
