I'm with you ... I respect opinions but when someone says they aren't ACC caliber and their experience is not that of our coaching staff it is hard to take what they say seriously.  Shafer came out and said the ACC has more speed ... so in turn he would then extend early offers to slower linemen that can't compete in the ACC?

That is pretty much what was implied and I think an unfair statement based on what most of us, even knowledgeable fans have currently at our disposal.  You can watch video and that is great ... I've seen some video of these GA kids and then seen them live ... totally different feel to me.  The one thing I haven't done is seen what they do at camps and things of the like ... which gives coaches another data point we don't get as fans.  Of course no doubt I am a glass half full kind of guy but I find it hard to digest these early commits aren't worthy of the ACC because if the coaches are offering them they obviously feel differently.

As a fan I am more excited than I have been in quite some time, seeing who we are offering and who we are competing against for prospects (for the most part) has really given me cause to focus more on this stuff myself.  I can say however I won't pass judgement on them till they put on SU uniforms and play.  I do collect information from people like you and some of the other knowledgeable guys like money and value it along with the stuff I hear from the coaching community here in GA ... the hardest thing for me is to temper my excitement ... but once Shafer starts talking I'm ready to plow someone over and that self control flies right out the window :)
