I think this may be old. Before the season there was an article showing that Miami is catching up with the desired blue chip ratio. It had us at 46% and I remember noticing LSU around 63%

No, this is updated as of today.

Miami has 33 players who are 4/5 stars. 33/85 = 39%

LSU has 48 players who are 4/5 stars. 48/85 = 56%


Miami's 4/5* players are:
Lorenzo Lingard, Brevin Jordan, Nesta Jade Silvera, Mark Pope, Jarren Williams, Al Blades, Jr., DJ Scaife, Jr., Brian Hightower, Cam'ron Davis, Gurvan Hall, Jr., N'Kosi Perry, Gilbert Frierson, Will Mallory, Cleveland Reed, Jr., Marquez Ezzard, DJ Ivey, Shaquille Quarterman, Ahmmon Richards, Joe Jackson, Bar Milo, Travis Homer, Pat Bethel, Zach McCloud, Jeff Thomas, Navaughn Donaldson, Trajan Bandy, Kai-Leon Herbert, DeeJay Dallas, Jonathan Garvin, Mike Harley, Gerald Willis III, Jaquan Johnson, and Tyree St. Louis

Idgaf about "composites". Pope is a bonafide 5 star...

While I don’t argue with you on his talent, the whole point is looking at the website’s rankings. Jeff Thomas is a 5-Star talent imo, but he’s not on the composite and that’s what this thread is in reference to

Another astonishing stat from that list -- 24/7 we have 27 four stars (looks like they failed to count Lingard as a five-star) 23 out of those four and five stars are freshmen and sophomores.

This is the most important stat in this entire thread.

Very true. Next year, we only lose Gerald Willis, Jaquan Johnson, and Tyree St Louis from our senior class.... along with whatever juniors declare early.
If we sign another class with 15 blue chippers, that will put us within striking distance of the top 10 as far as talent goes.

The year after that, we can continue to add to our talent and possibly break in to the top tier.

This. If you break it down further by conference, you see that we're closer to UNC then FSU. That's changing, but see my post earlier this week about our junior and senior classes: we're not quite there yet.

I remember looking at the recruiting classes in the Coastal during the Golden years and while Miami did have the most talent, the gap was surprisingly not that large. A year or two, I don't think Miami even had the top class in the division.

Since Richt has come in though it's not even close - last three years Miami has had more blue chip recruits than the rest of the coastal combined.

I just yearn for the day we do more with less. We haven’t ‘out coached’ a team since what, the early 90’s?

Please name the days we did "more with less" please? I don't remember us really out coaching anyone to a W in the early '90s. We were just better than anyone we played at any time. You would be hard pressed to find any team on our schedule from 90-95 that we didn't stack up with talent wise. At least through the 94 team that lost to Nebraska

Know it is early, but look at 2020 and 2021 commitments to date. Add those classes to roster and no reason not to compete with anyone.

Is this your first year following recruiting? We always have the number 1 or at least top 5 2-3 years out, but we always drop once signing day gets closer.
