Although it's important to have good rankings, the only way to get better with a program like SU is to get a better recruiting class each year regardless of how other ACC teams are doing.  This year is incrementally better than last year and last year was better than the preceding year.

Unless SU is willing to invest in an Urban Meyer type coach, the way that HCSS is doing it is the right way but also the only way SU can do this.

I think SWC75 said it best in one of these threads - lets first get to a consistent and legitimate 6-7-8 win team so that the coaches can prove to the next year's recruits we are back on track.  I think it's very doable this year.

My gut would tell me that instead of a solid 3 star class with 4 or so 2 star players mixed in we will see it turn into a solid 3 star class with a few 4 star kids in the mix.  That would "show me" we would truly be back on track to get to the next level of an 8-9-10 type team.

Its really the only way - when we have 4 solid years of recruiting and the whole team is mostly made up of solid multiple offer type 3 star kids (70-75 kids) with a dozen or so 4 star kids in the mix, then we will be on track to take it to the next level.

All I can see as far as recruiting is concerned is that we are headed in the right direction.  These kids are legit, are bigger and taller too.  Now the kids and coaches have to start winning games on the field to keep the momentum building in the right direction.
