New QB???

French saying they now have a QB (at UT vs. HS) that is taller than them...

Whitehaven's QB was 6'1" this year. Maurer is 6'3".

Guarantano, Shrout, Maurer, and Bailey will all compete for the job. Maurer ain't going anywhere.

What are you trying to argue? I didn’t say anything bad about this class. I like a lot of the pieces we have committed.

Go find another tree.

1. You posted some numbers. 2. I asked a question about the numbers. 3. You dodged answering.
Fine. 4. I re-posted the question. 5. You dodged again. The end.

The TRUTH right here!!!

Good luck 85. Logic doesn’t work around here anymore.

As 85SugarVol clearly proved with solid evidence, recruiting numbers matter. You don’t have to like it but that doesn’t make it any less real. That also doesn’t mean there aren’t some really good players in this class. There are. But if you’re making an argument that player star ratings or team class rankings don’t matter from team-to-team and year-to-year, you’re dead wrong. There are plenty of stats over the last 2 plus decades to prove higher ranked players perform better and teams with higher ranked classes win more. There are some outliers (as always).

You didn’t ask about the numbers, or even address them. You jumped into your own narrative and tried to project it onto my post.

You're not very smart. Anyone can read the question for themselves.

You are not smart either.

I didn't say I didn't like it. I am not making the argument you are hallucinating. Did you even read my question?

But please note (and I don't want to hear what you think about it) that you are contradicting 85. Because 85 claimed that he was citing objective numbers without any point or implied interpretation whatsoever.

It is the most underachieving program in college football history.

That is an absolute truth. They have wasted more talent than any other program in CFB history.

Seems more like a Mehlissa Etheridge kinda guy to me. I could also picture him dancing around in a bumble bee costume like that ginger girl in the Blind Mehlon video.

No, I was providing a gloss on my previous remark.

I wasn't sure who to respond to lol.

About that "solid evidence"..The supposed hit rate in that "objective report" on 5*s is 48%, but what is our hit rate on 5* and top 100 high 4*s the last 12-15 years? I believe it is close to 10% at best. We have suffered more from overrated "busts" in our decade of dysfunction than any other program...that is a fact, and I think it is a valid reason why so many here are so skeptical now of ratings being so important. You have to look beyond the stars, and actually analyze each recruit to get a real picture of worth.

Why don't you freakin answer the question? Yes or no? That isn't hard.

People worry way to much about recruiting rankings.

Take a look at the relationship between winning and recruiting classes.

 

[Ron Swanson]

Get Washington and it’s a good class no matter what, but if we don’t, then it’s a meh class. He really will make or break our class.

That’s silly.

I see quite a few comments like this on here and it’s just emotional whining. The class is good to very good regardless of this guy or that guy. The truth here is there’s one kid in this class that matters more than all the others and that’s Harrison Bailey. He’s in the boat and will be on campus and in class next month. That’s what matters most in this class. The rest of the class will only go as far as he takes them.

I trust this coaching staff to evaluate talent, develop talent, and put players in a position to succeed. Top ten classes will come . This is an avalanche now. No stopping the rise of the Power T!
