Recruiting Rankings Matter

Top 10 is where we recruit. It’s really good. However, to truly compete for a championship you have to recruit top 5 if not top 3.

Your ratio of 4/5 stars has to be significantly higher than the 3 stars on your roster.

Been saying it for years but plenty have bashed me on here. But just look at just our conference UGA, LSU, Bama, TX, TAMU. Then factor teams like Oregon and OSU. This is a serious question. How can we realistically get into the top 5? I am being serious. How?

I agree but how? I mean with those teams in our conference alone. It just seems like a huge mountain to try and climb.

idk when that will change and who will change it

Yep. I think Heupel is cautious in recruiting to not get guys who’s will tear a part locker rooms but he’s gotta start getting these studs. We should have the money.

So you're saying he's weak and can't handle these "studs"? They will come in and be stronger than him and pull apart the locker room and he can't stop it?

I think our DB's are very good and capable of man coverage I also don't believe minimal differences in the rankings matter nearly as much as scheme and teaching technique . That of course is an argument that will never go away and everyone has their own opinion, if it weren't for the fluke loss to Carolina a couple years back we were in the CFP and we did not match with the others as far as High school rankings. But not looking to open that can of worms again, it's as bad as talking the election.

That’s what it’s going to take. All our fans spent all that money to go to Columbus 30k deep imagine if everyone spent that money towards NIL. I bet 1% do. It’s the way of the game now. Money money money.

It's not all on the fans tho. The 9/10mil coaches can take a hit to that salary and help too. Norvell Grundy are couple of examples

It’s time for Danny White and Josh Hepuel to have a donor team meeting with Haslam and every other billionaire/millionaire right in the middle of it signing blank checks to every top recruit. We the working class our doing our part and more. It’s not enough.

Ever since 2011, every national champion has had blue chip ratio of 50%+, Tennessee has a ratio of 46%. But PLEASE keep arguing to me that rankings dont matter and these random ass 3 star ol or wr’s who’s next best offer is Western Kentucky will win us championships

What was the blue chip ratio of who we played last night?
Bet it was over 75%

Turrentine was late a good bit. Jakolbe thomas had one particularly costly play where he played near perfect coverage and they got lucky by a couple inches. We had a lot of guys tonight that had a costly play, missed assignment, got beat, didn’t finish. I honestly think we underestimated their individual talent combined with bad game planning. I still don’t know how that happens after 3 weeks.

Thomas also should have easily picked off their second TD pass if he turns around for the ball.

This question is for the NIL experts, if they are even willing to divulge. But I am curious about our NIL budget. I’m not criticizing Spyre and from what I read, I think they do a great job. But Belichek demanded 20$M allocated to football in Chapel Hill next year and got it. it’s his salary cap and he’ll spend every dime. I don’t know if we have that kind of bank to spend directly on roster management but I suspect that’s what it will take. But as someone mentioned above, we had 30k folks willing to spend money to go to Columbus. I think our folks will spend. The Bama AD came out 2 weeks ago with a very direct plea to the fanbase to donate to NIL. I expect White to do the same. I’m sure many will disagree and they won’t be wrong. I get it. I’m just saying that organized annual fund campaigns for talent acquisition will soon be commonplace. Do it or become UVA.
