Recruiting experts opinions on this class

[BigOrangeTrain]

Disagree. You can be competitive anywhere with 3 and 4 star players. It's whether or not the player has the measurables to match up or create mismatches and fits the system. And perhaps most importantly has the mindset to succeed. It's all in the evaluation.

PS- We aren't 75% 3 star are we? Who is your source on that?

Currently, we have 26 commits and out of those, 20 are 3* according to 247. Thats 77% of our total commits that are 3*s.

I am by far not a recruiting expert but my fear has less to do with stars and more to do with coaching them up.

I just don't see improvement and player development. That is what scared me.

If you are good at player development and scheming then I truly think you can take high level three stars and turn them into a winning team. My issue is we don't seem to do this.

Corners never ever look back at the ball and it seems we keep making the same mental errors over and over again.

Our O line should be much improved by now too and they just seem like they are no different than last year.

And I bet we see new coaches at both those positions next year. Every one sees the need, and perhaps most importantly, I think prospects and those that advise them have seen the need and it's cost us in recruiting this cycle.
