doc4aday 1,887 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 If we could have gotten a solid OT in addition to what we got, I would give this class an 8.8 out of 10....Otherwise a solid 8 out of 10. We have got to recruit some heavyweight OL for 2021 or we will get bitten big time on the fanny. I cannot understand why Gus cannot recruit quality OLs. Maybe now that Bicknell is on staff this will change and if Gus will take an "I will not interfere pill everyday" we could be ok on this front.

Championship teams have a lot of really good players but typically have 1 or 2 superstar/studs. I'm not saying the players we signed aren't legit or able to achieve that level of greatness, but we are missing on the "can't miss" prospects. I'd give this class an 8 defensively and a 6 or 7 offensively. The HS OL recruiting hurt this class And we somehow got one and still missed in Calvin Ashley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we could have gotten Broderick Jones, it would not have surprised me if he would have gotten bumped back to a 4 star status. After giving much thought, I think the whole star rating system needs to be thrown out the window and replaced with something more appropriate. Maybe something like "College Starter Potential" that could be equal to a 3-star rating. "NFL Potential" that could be equal to a 4 star rating. "NFL Starter Potential" that would equal a 5 Star rating. I Know there are problems with this system, but it at least covers most levels of a players' potential.

This is easy to figure out Doc. 5 star that pics AU becomes a 4 star. 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardin Drake 1,820 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 This is a great class, maybe our best under Malzhan. It addressed all of our needs, especially wide receiver, DB, and defensive line. Yes, it could have used another OT. It's just hard to fix a broken O line pipeline in one year. I'd have somebody watching the portal 24/7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lala 327 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Solid, 7.5 but not great. Missed on our next Britt, missed on anchor OT and DT that would have put us up with A&M. Hopefully getting Tank, Capers and a TE will be our difference makers in the class... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,565 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I'll give this class a 7.5, which is pretty solid. Had we retained the 2 LB's, Buck and OT that were committed to AU and flipped to other schools it would be a 9 or better. I saw it posted elsewhere that Clemson hasn't had a committed player flip since 2016. We've taken some heavy hits from flippers recently. Any way to find out Clemson's secret and learn from them?

Just play in a weak conference and get in the National Championship game every year. Then everybody wants to play for you. I wonder why everybody doesn't do it.

doc4aday 1,887 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 maybe we can work out a deal and move to ACC East with a clean swap for dabbo's team. We would play for the natty every year no questions asked. Hell would freeze over an infinite time to even consider this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you watch the video's its cause they have a Dave and Busters, Alamo Draft house, and a version of those fancy McDonald's playgrounds you find along well traveled interstates during tourist season all connected to their athletic complex.
