It's incredible how dominant the SEC and secondarily the BiG are in terms of talent acquisition. Just Miami, FSU and Clemson frm the ACC in the Top 20, ND as an Independent, and ZERO Big 12 teams. Sucks that Florida is right behind us according to this ranking. They picked up a few bigtime guys...

Coaching, evals, culture, quality across positions, quality depth, QB maturity ... all of that matters. I'm not contending otherwise. And I personally think the online scouts are front runners who have more in common with Coker than Butch in how they rank kids. But talent kills. We lost nearly...

Mario and his coordinators are not Willie bad lol. But yeah there are exceptions to the talent wins rule. Jimbo at A&M and Jimbo/Taggart at FSU are two. So one coach had an influence on both those. Mack Brown recruited well at TX but couldn’t sustain the winning. USC has popped its head up once...

I just checked 247 and there are already 4 teams above 290, which is amazing since only 4 teams ended above 290 in 2023 and 2022 (all 4 were above 300 that year, the next was 289), 5 in 2021 5 in 2020 and 2 in 2019. Update: I went to the calculator and put the following changes in to get a 295...

If that happens you could even have Larry Coker as your OC and still win national championships. IIRC we would be up by 4 TDs going into halftime, sit the entire starting lineup and run the ball the rest of the game, lol.

How this class develops is going to be super interesting. I finally ran 4 miles today after coming off surgery a year and an half ago. At my age it’s friggin hard to come back. I won’t say I was miserable on the run. But reconditions myself to get to this point was ****. Kudos to you sir.

I’m just saying - whose evaluation do you respect more — Mario’s staff or guys at On3, ESPN and Rivals? Under Manny and previous staphs it was a toss up or lean towards the sites’ scouts. Under Mario, I’m ignoring the site rankings.

I still remember so many times last class that we would get a high end recruit and somehow our rating and ranking would go down. 247 would say **** like they had a coding error in pulling in the On3 rank (On3 almost always had our guys lower than the other sites). Or they'd magically drop down...
