Someone has never seen I, Robot

No real use re-litigating this, but I’ll give it 1 shot. Maybe both of you are right and a team with a class that has 15 3*s will never win a championship (there’s no way to prove that point, but I understand and appreciate the concern - we all want to win and have the best players). The...

Of course. Most people here just want us to win. I just think the kid is full of ****, has no knowledge of the game, and just likes to spout his moar starz brand of elitism - and that gets tired when it’s on every single recruiting thread. So once a month I like to call him out and laugh as he...

LOL. Here it is. Proof, straight from the horses mouth. OK - he may not be a 15 year old, just has the emotional capacity of a 15 year old. Useful distinction.

I know I said the last one was the last one - but, who do you think said this... "I know a guy that made over 140 million last year in PE. If you go talk to the smartest HS seniors in the nation and told them. If you take this path you may win a Nobel prize, live in a 4,000 sqft house, and...

LOL. I literally chuckled. "Won't settle for mediocre." As if who coaches Miami or what the coach at Miami does is, in any way, beholden to your will power. At least you're an entertaining 15 year old clown. You know what most 15 year olds do on the internet? Talk about how rich they are, how...

No, you can’t... Never mind. I just had this conversation with myself - wherein I said “self - should I continue going in circles with this sad lonely little 15 year old, or let him think he’s ‘won’”? That said... Congratulations - You are right. 247 is infallible. Manny will never win...

That's just it - you are moving the goalposts. You can't claim both "chips or bust" and "well, at least they finished ranked" as if both support the same argument. What you fail to comprehend is that there is a wide chasm separating people that "care about recruiting" and people that hold mr...

OK - then why try and use the fact that 5 out of the 8 super teams you cited couldn't even win 9 games as some sort of support for your "chips or bust" hypothesis? That's stupid. You can prove, definitively, your utterly vacuous "a team that recruits like us will never win a championship"...

No. 2 of the 8 (these are your numbers, by the way) that had more 5*s than Clem finished top 3. Clem was one of those top 3. I don't know. Washington fared 4th. Wisconsin 9th. Western Michigan 15th. But I thought the standard was playoffs and chips? 4 losses and a top 16 ap finish is an...

Live look at mr.247 composite and gatorhater

So, the team with the 9th most 5*s was the best - not sure how that helps your argument. Also, 5 of those 8 teams lost 4 or more games. Again, not exactly helping your “grab 5*s become elite” stance. Best retort to the only meaningful part of my response is “my bad” - lol. Clown gonna clown, I...

Ok. Please name all 8. I'm curious. I know the rebs netted a top ~5 or so class that one year with Nkemdiche. You seem to know a lot about the Clemson board and care a lot about their feelings - maybe just stay over there? When did I say last years Clemson was hovering near 50%? I didn't...

Not really. Was Ole Miss one of them? No. I'm saying Clemson 2016 =/= Clemson 2020. You brought Manny into it - not me (Now you say "I was only responding to a poster saying our class is..."). Dabo can win with a bcr hovering right at 50% while averaging double digit non-bc every year - but...

8th most 5 stars in the nation. That team was loaded with 5*s... yet another newly fabricated standard to support your revisionist history. 1 sr corner, 3 sophs (ot, wr, dt) and a frosh dt. Loaded? 2012 - 20th 0 10 10 2013 - 15th 1 10 11 2014 - 16th 0 10 9 2015 - 9th 3 9 12 2016 - 11th 1 11...

You’re probably right w/r/t the timeline (I’m not the biggest recruitnik around). But he was unrated as recently as March. Committed to Bama in May. July he’s top 100. That’s some solid evidence of ethenic’s cart-horse hypothesis.

I might be misremembering things - but Wasn’t Thaiu Jones-Bell unrated, or a low 3* when we offered? Plays his junior year, bama comes knocking and now (like magic) he’s a top 15 wide receiver in the country. Hypothetically - let’s say he’s the same player but, for whatever reason, none of the...

You mean they are “no longer” the exception. When they won their first chip since the Reagan admin - they did it with classes ranked outside the top 10. Waaaay back in 2015, that’s when people were claiming Clemson was an outlier. Now - narratives change, they are on the verge of signing the...

Wait. Clemson was forced to take 16 3*s last year? The team that played in back to back title games and had been in the playoffs 3 years in a row - then went undefeated and destroyed almighty bama - had no option other than the 16 non blue chippers they signed LAST YEAR. "New face of college...
