The 2 teams that met in Las Vegas for last season's Pac-12 championship game, Oregon and Utah, are among the 4 best recruiting classes in the conference this cycle. The other 2 near the top are schools who went a combined 4-20 in 2021: Stanford and Arizona. How much those top-25 high school recruiting classes help those programs turn things around as programs?
On this episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by John Garcia Jr., the director of recruiting for Sports Illustrated. They also discuss another relative surprise when the Colorado Buffaloes, coming off a 4-8 2021 season, finished with a class rated above Oregon State (7-6) and UCLA (8-4). For the reigning Pac-12 North and South champions (Oregon and Utah), John shares who he thinks will be able to make the biggest impact as true freshmen.
2022 has seen recruiting victories for some, but others struggled out on the trail. Washington was the last Pac-12 football team to make the college football playoff, but they were barely able to avoid coming in last in the conference in recruiting this cycle. They close with a discussion about how the Huskies can turn it around to once again bring in high-caliber players to Seattle.
