Has there ever been a point so close to the signing period where NU still boasted a Top 15 class nationwide?

It's pretty incredible for Collins to get a class that basically mirrors the team's preseason ranking. In both basketball and football, NU has often well outperformed its recruiting rankings. Maybe that goes to show that the rankings aren't gospel, but still, I'm excited to see what comes of the 2018 class. Takes the sting out of losing BMac and Scottie after this season, just a little bit.
