Message: [QUOTE="SoBristol, post: 175947, member: 485"] Some other ways to evaluate a class: 1. How does our list compare with our rivals (WVa, Pitt, BC or UConn, Rutgers)? 2. Did we win several head to head battles vs our rivals for kids in regions we both recruit? 3. End of the day, are we excited about our recruits (with some 4 stars in the mix) or are we making up stories about our coaches being able to evaluate undiscovered gems, who lack measurables (speed, size, great stats) and weren't being chased by our rivals? We have some positive answers to these questions -- just not as many as we need. In a year when others were in transition (with Big East, changes at Rutgers & Pitt, PP at UConn), we made some progress -- enough? This class is better than our recent classes, but we are still closing the gap against Rutgers, BC & Pitt. We missed out on the better LBs, WRs and RBs. We needed jucos to fill some gaps. Step in the right direction. [/QUOTE]
