I completely agree with the first part - the LBs in this class are SO promising.

I feel like we [I]do[/I] have a pretty good sense of what we have, though - the offer lists of these kids show that probably 2/3 of them had at least 5 or 6 P-5 offers, and some were in double digits.  That says a lot.

Plus, a lot of these kids are coming from the South, rather than some of these kids from Ohio, illinois or the Northeast who don't have the same measurables, the same caliber of competition (Yes, Ohio is a football factory, but not everywhere; my recollection is that we've had some dud kids out of the midwest who were Shafer recruits or GRob recruits).

The videos on some of these kids is eye opening, even taking selective editing in account.

Many of these kids are from traditional powerhouse programs.  Pedigree, coaching and the talent some of these kids are surrounded with on the elite HS teams better prepares them for the transition to college.  We are getting a lot of kids who will be "more likely to succeed", in my opinion.

Just like with the product on the field, you can see it trending upward.  Eyes don't lie.
