Message: [QUOTE="anomander, post: 2835705, member: 2766"] I totally disagree. Sure the overall recruiting ranking doesn't look all that exciting, but it doesn't tell the whole story. The position we needed to address the most, linebacker, we brought in two 4 star recruits (Jones and Kpogba) with legit, elite offers. The 3rd (Cantin) could possibly be the best of the bunch, who has college ready size, with speed to boot. I believe he only camped at Syracuse and playing up in Canada he was under the radar. Cornelius Nunn is that game changing type of recruit that we took our of Miami's backyard and won a heads up recruiting battle. He is the type of player who can go up against anybody in the country and you would feel pretty good. Defensive end we added to commits with the size to play now. Dawson we beat out Clemson for and Tuazama had legit offers from Miami and FSU plus more out of HS. Both are athletes who could play at several positions. That's not even mentioning Rondi , who is another under the radar kid who didn't hit the camp cycle, but from everything you hear is a big, athletic kid. Offensively , Courtney Jackson is just below a 4star recruit that will compliment an already loaded unit. The OL commits consist of a camp offer kid, another Canadian with college ready size (both Cantin and Bergerson were the #1 and #2 rated Canadian PG recruits) and a game ready JC OT who we beat out Pitt, Arkansas and WVU for. Those were the kids that really stood out to me, who to a man all had legitimate, multiple high end P5 offers. That's not even counting the high end projects, who we took at deep position groups. Guys like Gouldbourne, and Hewitt have elite athleticism who could be possible homeruns if they reach their full potential. Even the guys towards the back end of the class like Cole, Williams, Benson, and Greenwood all had multiple P5 offers. I don't think this class is as good as last year mostly because we took more guys, but the top end can compete with any class that we've had in the last 20 years, and has legit P5 projects. These aren't the "diamonds in the rough" prior staffs brought in who had below average size, and maybe some MAC offers. These guys have ACC size, and real P5 offers. I'm excited about this class because it addresses some major needs at LB, and DE with guys who can contribute next year. Plus we still have to sign another 4-5 recruits. Adding to this class already signed is just gravy imo . [/QUOTE]
