*****Official NSD Thread 2017 updated as the commits come in

Get the hell out of here! Don't you know Butch is God. He SAID this is a top notch class so you had better pound sand with that negative attitude of yours. You don't belong in the recruiting forum!

How did that sound? Am I getting better at attacking other posters? I've been trying hard to become a sunshine pumper.
Nobody is arguing that it's a top notch class. We are arguing that the sky is not falling like people like you keep saying over and over and over and over.

Go look at the names in those Dooley recruiting classes. Sure, he signed some good guys like Magitt, CP and others. most of those guys tho ended up being terrible. Let's watch and see what 3 stars Butler, Page, Murphy, Bailey, Labruzza, Bennett and others do. Those guys are underrated. Butch wouldn't have even recruited a lot of guys in those Dooley classes


You can't back any of that up. Just words. Look at how many players Butch signed that have been total disappointments. I don't need to wait to see what these new so called by you "underrated" players do. I have 4 years of recruiting to look at.

Really a shame that isn't a top 5 class with all that in-state talent. Also a shame that they missed on the Johnson kid at QB. I'm betting that Dabo would love to move Clemson's campus to Knoxville.

Here's a question: who actually gives a **** what Dabo thinks or wants??

To me the sky isn't falling but I think people are starting to see some cracks in the foundation. Whether they're right or not that's up to you to interpret.

I can see the signs but I'm also willing to give Butch another year or two at least. If he doesn't win something of significance in the next 2 years then we'll probably be able to point to bad recruiting and underperforming on the field this past season as the start of it all.

Some are overrated according to SEC country, Rivals, Scout, ESPN. Who cares what I think? There's a reason why some of these guys are 4 stars elsewhere and we're pursued by LSU, Norte Dame and others
 
Does Cordarrelle Patterson ring a bell?

Dooley signed a few top end players and then made a living on guys that were headed to Chaminade. Much like this class.

Some posts are too stupid to even try and respond to

Dabo got one kid from TN. Rodgers was never coming here. That is so overblown. Johnson didn't want to be behind JG. That's a fact. Clemson depth chart was much better than ours
 
Per 24/7. I'm not going to draw any further conclusions due to Dooley's complete incompetency. For informational purposes only:

Dooley:

2011 #14 with average rating of 88.44
2012 #20 with average rating of 88.22

2017 #15 with average rating of 87.14 (at 11:00 AM CST)

Which one of those classes was it that Dooley failed to sign an offensive lineman? Truth be told you look at the position numbers the 2011+2012 classes were completely abysmal, riddled with non-contributors, met few positional needs and their headliners were CP and Pig Howard.

This class on the other hand is definitely meeting the positional needs on the DL and Defensive Backfield while having the #1 player in the country on one site (at a position of need), a consensus Top 100 Safety and consensus top 100 RB as your headliners.

While the ranking number might be close this one is far beyond the 2011 and 2012 classes.

2018 is a better in state year than 2017, they already have 2 top 10 players including a 5 star in state who are helping him recruit. If he does well in state in 2018 everything is fine. But of course negas in here can't allow for optimism even tho it is true.

It's not an argument. BUTCH said it. In his mind this is as good as it gets. He doesn't feel like he has to do any better. That's all I'm saying. I already know that the vast majority of people feel like this is a sub part class considering that the program is supposed to be getting better and better each year.

If people want to point to our record improving each year by 1 game as "improving" but then willingly ignore this stuff then all credibility is lost. You are simply like these people that look for the highest star rating and go with that.

You know who sits around on NSD trying to convince themselves all their recruits are underrated and will surely be future stars?

Schools like Vandy. Just saying.
