I love the "unbalanced" justification.

With exception of WR, every position in this class is filled, and we're not done. That may have been true back in the summer, but at this point it's a balanced class and that argument just looks weaker and weaker by the hour.

Funny part is, most of the guys that make our class "top heavy" (read, 3*) are: 2 +athlete tight ends (they have 0 tight ends signed), an interior lineman that we flipped from them (hard to argue he's not a take, when he was, literally, a take), an unranked tackle (they have 1 3* tackle committed and whiffed on the 2 5*s we signed, so they were trying to flip our project), and a few heat-seeking missile linebackers (they have 2 lbs on the roster and just one fringe-4* committed). They could only wish they were as "unbalanced" as us.

We’ve been complaining that Bama, UGA and Taint have been paying for years. All those payments always lead to Cane tears and wins for the other side. I am more than at peace with where we stand. Gonna pop a bottle, sit back and enjoy the show.

The difference was that we weren't allowed to compete in that way back then. That was why we were frustrated. It was an uneven fight, now we can LEGALLY COMPETE.

The lower rated guys in our class are mostly interior linemen and blocking tight ends. The rankings go with the territory. You won’t see a ton of highly ranked projected guards because they’re not valued like tackles.

If you’re going to take 3 star guys, I like the idea of taking project linemen that might be a little raw but can be developed into quality players a few years down the line. It’s not like Miami is loading up on three star skill positions or defensive backs.

Good point, couple that with Mario got the 5* OL studs, and is taking some projects based on potential that will hopefully be able to contribute in 3 or so years. Taking low ranked guys at positions where you already have high ranked guys in the boat is not nearly as worrisome.

They also fail to comprehend they have 13 kids ranked 200 +. They have 4 "4 stars" ranked higher than 300. Just recently (maybe last year or 2) did 247 add more 4*s well beyond the top 300.

We have only 12 kids ranked over 200 with 3 more commits.

Yes when you look solely at the * break down you see UM with 10 3* and UF with 18 4* but their argument is our lower ranked kids are better than your lower ranked kids so our class over yours.

Edit* just for fun I went to the calculators to test a theory, UF currently sits at 274 # 11 overall with 18 4* and they make fun of us for having 10 3*....Well if you drop Frankie, Kaleb Spencer, Marcellius, Emory, Jackson, Reid, Kinsler, AND horton we would STILL be ranked ahead of UF. Then we would have 3 5*/11 4* and 2 3* to the gator 0 5* /18 4* and 3 3* Now the class does not seem so "top heavy"
