I'll go by year starting in 2008 when Dennis Erickson was our coach...
Will include year, team ranking according to Rivals, number of commits in class and average player rating...
2008 - #21 team ranking - 28 recruits in class - 3.08 average player rating
Note: as we all know this followed Erickson's 10 win season and first place PAC finish with USC
2009 - #30 TR - 22 RIC - 2.95 APR
2010 - #35 TR - 26 RIC - 3.04 APR
2011 - #57 TR - 19 RIC - 2.63 APR
Note: Erickson fired after 2011 season and Todd Graham hired for 2012 season
2012 - #38 TR - 15 RIC - 2.79 APR
2013 - #34 TR - 25 RIC - 2.88 APR
2014 - #21 TR - 29 RIC - 3.07 APR
Note: Todd had ten win seasons in 2013 and 2014
2015 - #20 TR - 24 RIC - 3.25 APR
2016 - #32 TR - 20 RIC - 3.20 APR
2017 - #50 TR - 22 RIC - 2.45 APR
Note: Graham was terminated after 2017 season and Herm Edwards was hired
2018 - #38 TR - 20 RIC - 3.10 APR
2019 - #36 TR - 23 RIC - 2.96 APR
2020 - #27 TR - 21 RIC - 3.33 APR
2021 - #65 TR - 14 RIC - 3.14 APR
Note: NCAA investigation started earlier this year and is still ongoing
2022 - so far, ASU is not even ranked by Rivals since they have so few commitments to date
How would you evaluate what Erickson left Graham based on this data..??
How would you evaluate what Graham left Edwards based on this data..??
How would you evaluate Herm's recruiting to date using this data..??
Finally, if Herm is retained and continues at ASU where will we most probably end up as a program from a recruiting standpoint..??
Will it be where we've seemingly almost always been as a fair to middling football program or closer to where the Cats presently reside..??
Go Devils!!!
