Here is a sample size of what these 4 coaches have done since the start of the 2020 Season on and off the field. The recruiting classes measure 2021, 22 & 23 and includes transfers. I, of course, used 247 sports as the source for recruiting metrics. A few things to keep in mind on each coach…
Lane – 15th and 17th in the nation may not look impressive but that is well above the historical average for Ole Miss
Hugh – Freeze’s recruiting speaks for itself. MUCH like his time at Ole Miss, Liberty has consistently gotten better at recruiting YoY. I don’t think it would be crazy to expect him to be able to recruit top 10 classes at AU, but it may take a couple of years to get there.
Mark – before you let 44 "3 stars" scare you, It’s Kentucky. Their 2022 Class was an impressive pull with 15 4 stars between HS and Transfers.
Prime – Recruiting. My Lord.
Lane Kiffin: 19-8
Hugh Freeze: 21-7
Mark Stoops: 19-9
Deion Sanders: 19-5
