That’s reflected in the top three teams (No. 1 Alabama, No. 2 Ohio State and No. 3 Georgia) signing a combined 15 of 34 five-star recruits.
But five-star players do not a complete class make; hundreds of blue-chip recruits signed in the first 60 hours of the 72-hour early signing period, including 89 of 100 top-100 recruits from the 247Sports Composite (naturally, 69 of those went to the top 10 teams).
