The sky is blue and another stat from the Bryan Harsin era of Auburn football paints his tenure on the Plains as one rife with failures — failures that weren’t confined to just when the game clock was running but also took place on the recruiting trail for nearly two years.
This time, it’s in regard to the program’s blue-chip ratio, otherwise known as the ratio of 4-star and 5-star recruits signed over 3-star and 4-stars. AU’s almost fell off over the last four classes, down to No. 15 in the country and at 51%.
As 247Sports’ Brandon Marcello pointed out that Harsin almost had the team out of the graphic altogether after bringing on just 18 4-stars and 5-stars over his two years in East Central Alabama.
