If you want to believe Miami's class is underrated, go right ahead. It's never been true before, but maybe the 5th time is the charm, right?
I guess we'll find out in 2 or 3 years if we're playing in the national championship game, then I'll come back on here and say AboutTheU05 was right all along. But somehow I doubt it
Clearly you are not or don’t care to read or understand what some are saying.
1) we have not had that many top 10 classes period if it ends up 7th overall that is still a **** good class.
2) if recruiting consistently stays at this level these years to come the talent overall will be good enough to compete, and the effect will be that we will get some higher ranked classes as well
3) and this is important one should analyze each class for it’s strengths and weaknesses at each position and then determine their outlook based on it and not just a blanket statement, unless you are already predisposed to an opinion and you only wish to support your narrative
For example in my opinion, this team is a gut job and needed to he revamped. Football is and always will be won at the line of scrimmage. You want to compete for championships you win at the line. All the other pretty things like spread offense or pretty DB’s and WR’s? Yes we need to add quality players. But if you are not winning at the line it doesn’t mean crap what you have at wideout or RB or in the secondary.
With that when analyzing what is being done with this class and last, a clear infusion of superior talent is being added. This is arguably one of the top o line classes in the country, we have added a lot of quality talent at D line, though at DT we do need a little more. LB has been addressed as well.
You win at the line first and foremost, it is as true today as it was yesterday, regardless of scheme, regardless of X’s and O’s
This class addressed that in superior fashion.
So yes it may not end up a top 5 class overall, but where it matters most in football it is a top 5 class in the trenches. And that will payoff dividends if we consistently recruit like that year in year out
