Bo needs a 27 spot bump from 247 to be a composite 5*. George will stay a composite 5* as long as he doesn't drop 9 spots. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. The final Top247 for 24/7 comes out at noon CT. Typically takes composite a day or 2 to be updated after that. Also 247 has more rankings after the Top247 this week so the composite likely will not have it's final update til this weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClaytonAU 4,606 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Don’t even care about stars that much at all but that fifth star for Bo is much deserved. Heck yeah! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you only went by that the turds should have won the natty again but they didn't. They can be beat no matter how many 5 stars they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their total net gain was 28 spots. They had 8 significant droppers (Battle -10, Egboigbe -17, Harris -23, Banks -11, Tulia -63, Bowles -11, Williams -67, & Dale -16) & 4 significant risers (Harris +75, Byron Young +15, Hellams +28, Dalcourt +135) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abw0004 10,104 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Takeaways from the composite: -UGA only has one 5* more than us -Purdue is racking up some top 100's. Good for them. -South Carolina landed a top 10 player. Nice. -Clemson only landed one 5* this cycle which surprised me with where their program is at the moment. -2 of the 3 5*'s we have are already on campus which will pay dividends come fall. I am very happy with our recruiting class. Even some of our lower ranked players I view as sleepers, that can play up to a 5* ranking. Not that rankings really matter. Coaches ability to evaluate matters more. We really need to give Gus and his coaching staff kudos for not only landing this class, but keeping it in tact with all of the outside noise. Seriously. Most other teams' classes under our circumstances would have been eaten alive. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what's so impressive about what they've been doing. On average over the last 5 years, they've actually been below us in recruiting rankings. They finished 6th last year. So only getting 1-2 5* guys per cycle- and hitting on them- is probably the norm, even during this run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in per player rankings which is more important, especially in Clemson's case where they retain & develop their players instead of signing 25 a year like most teams do. The 247 composite Team Talent rankings is an easy tool for this comparison. Right now they are #6 in team talent on roster while we are #14 with a full point difference in rating per player which is a sizable advantage on paper. https://247sports.com/Season/2018-Football/CollegeTeamTalentComposite/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the 5 last year is their problem. That's 5 positions that might not open up anytime soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A huge part of their success is in the qbs they have had and hopefully we have that piece now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
