'24 GA QB Jake Merklinger (Tennessee)

Haven’t seen Boley’s film. How does he compare to GM? Is he faster or more athletic? Better arm?
Sometimes the taller prospects don’t appear to be as fast, but I get the impression that Boley is at least a step faster. Their arms are a wash imo, if I had to bet one over the other I’d go with GM. What swings it for Boley for me are the complete package AND he’s more bought in. Still see MacIntyre as a Clemson lean.

Yep. Beat me to it. The rankings-fetishisers can’t fathom it, but we just signed an elite class. Just as Clemson signed elite classes ranked 10th or lower leading up to their first NC. Hell, the greatest class ever signed was that Miami class around 1999 or so that was ranked 10th or 11th nationally.

This staff can evaluate and recruit. And their evaluations are much better than those of the website nerds.

Seems like an incredible overreaction to my simple two sentence response stating that the 2023 class is a GOOD class, but that competing with Georgia and Alabama require even more. Sheesh. Calm down.
 
They must have gone to the Bassmaster championship last Saturday. No saying no after that.

Sorry...I didn't mean to speak to you in particular. I was speaking more generally, but following thew chain of conversation, I can see your point.

No he doesn't have a good point.

We signed a great class, and he's simply going off recruiting rankings.
He didn't say we need to keep recruiting similar as 2023, but to get better. "Top 5" irrc

I meant his point that I seemed to be coming at him. I was speaking more generally. And yes, I do think we signed a great class. The kind that we need to win championships.

Liar. Go back and look at my post. I will wait for you to tell me where in that post I said “Top 5.” Please come back when you can quote the exact place where I said we need to recruit a top 5 class every year. I’ll wait.

I'm not going to read your trash post again...

Tennessee class can easily compete with Bama's 2023 (best bama class ever) and UGAs 2023.
 
“Good but gotta be better to COMPETE with Bama and UGA” leaves little wiggle room. Screams declarative statement.

I don’t see anything I said that is bad. “Screams” overreaction by this board.

Nothing I said is an insult to the class we built in 2023 or an insult to the program. I quite literally called the class a good class. Yet the typical crew is doing their typical thing where they gang up on someone for basically no reason.You all are just searching for something to be mad about.

Doesn't have to be "bad" to beg for a response from those who disagree with it. You felt downplaying it as "good" but indicating not good enough to compete with the big boys was information...when it was an opinion. Feeling "ganged up on" from simple retorts is on you.
