It figures. We put together our first Top 100 class in school history... and it's in a year where the Big West has *5* Top 100 classes - the most in any year (the previous record was 4 all the way back in 2014). The Highlanders' 58th ranked class is 5th all-time, and they own most of the Top 5.
Long Beach State had the #38 class in 2019 and
CSU-Fullerton had #43 in 2017 for the non-Highlander classes.
Our prestige climbs back up to 29 after two years of sliding back.
At #226,
Brian Klingensmith is our highest rated recruited in school history, but I think
Robert Serra, who continues our long line of quality point guard recruits, might end up having the best career of anyone. In fact, I think he's a Day One starter as a SG.
I'd do a recruiting map, but I'm waiting to see if I get fired first.
I do not!
Map later.
