After the game last night I think we are definitely on the way. We should win out (including bowl win) and go into 2016 with a legitimate chance at East and the SECCG.
Great recruiting has got us to be competitive but we are still young and shallow in many positions.
Question: Is the current class mainly filling needs in line of scrimmage type positions? This current class does not seem to have the star power as the previous 2 (so far).
Is this by design (trench positions) or is this class just not as good as the previous 2?
What does this mean for chances of success for 2016 and beyond?
The class may be smaller but needs to be full of difference makers. Bama; LSU etc will have top classes again. We can't afford to miss to take a class off
Precisely. Ultimately that contributed to Fulmer's demise in the 2000's. He'd have a top 3 class then the next one would be outside the top 25. You have to maintain that high level of recruiting year in and year out. I hope we can at least crack the top 10 when it's all said and done.
We might still get a top 10 class. We're in on 3 5 star guys as well as a couple of high 4 stars. We could also see some of our current commits get bumps.
Remember at this time last year no one thought we'd get Phillips or Richmond. Both 5 stars. And guys like Kirkland and Martin committed in December.
Lotta time left. A 8-4 finish plus a bowl win will net us a top 10 class.
