Great writing and research per usual, Joe. I would only correct one slight factual error:

"Even perennial doormat Rutgers has a better recruiting class than the Bruins do."

..should be..

"Even soon-to-be-former perennial doormat Rutgers has a better recruiting class than the Bruins do."

.As you, I am also dismayed. The number of stars on that list resemble the Los Angeles heavens on a smoggy August night.

So here are some interesting statistics; Current transfer portal players (3* and above) still available (have not been signed and committed to a new school yet); 40. Out of this 40 number, you have 25 3*'s, 14 4*'s and 1 5* - Rivals.com. In addition, out of these 40, you have 15 Quarterbacks, in which UCLA already has 6! Not sure but if a lot of 3*, 4* and 5* players don't enter before Jan 2, 2024, the ole Chipster (OG) doesn't have much to select from, he will need to go down to 2* or below players - No surprise here. Of course, after Spring Practice (May 1 - May 15), he may be able to pick up some players, but these windows are closing quickly. So far, the Chipster (OG) has done a lousy job in the portal, losing way more talent than he has gained. He'd better hustle... Don't count on it.
