I can def agree with that. I'm not saying i'm SATISFIED with the class, cause i'm not, but i'm also not going to treat it like this class doesn't have the potential to raise the floor talent wise for us. Plus, it'll be easier to reassess the class once NSD is over and we see how we get then (or lose for that matter, can't forget that lol).

I remember you mentioned one of the big holes being offensive skill for you all. Seems like you’ve made strides there but def mentioned that DT and LB on D were huge holes and weren’t addressed well in HS recruiting.

Here it is again with their crazyass obsession with Miami. This guy is going to stop watching college football ONLY if the Canes get good. His beloved gators were on top of the world in 2006-2008 and had been the dominant team in the SEC for almost 20 years when suddenly Nick Saban and his NCAA cheatin' buddy Emmert come along and almost instantly and brutally smack the gators off the top of the mountain and proceed to flaunt it in their face, cheatin' all the way for the next 12 years. Meanwhile, the hated dawgs, recruiting the same way, also rise to dominance, further pushing the gator to irrelevance. But after enduring all that misery and humiliation for years, it's only IF Miami becomes elite that he'll stop watching college football.

Right now there are 6 current and future members of their own conference that are ahead of them in the recruiting rankings, but Miami getting talent is where they draw the I-can't-take-this-anymore line.

The object is to win games, not recruiting titles. I get it that acquiring talent usually leads to winning games but there’s quite a few teams that have been recruiting at a top 10 level for a long time that have won nothing. You need to actually coach teams too. What good is signing recruits if you’re not actually winning games?

But I’ll leave it at that since this isn’t the thread for this topic. Let’s keep winning the off season and enjoying gator failure.

You gotta break eggs to make an omelet! Recruiting wins will bring W's on Saturdays.

Texas has had three top 5 classes in the last 5 years. Two were ranked #3 overall one was #5 overall. They have an overall record of 38-23 over that time period.

Texas A&M has had two top 5 classes over the same period including the top class overall in 2022. They also have finishes 6th and 9th during that time period. They have an overall record of 39-21 over that same period.

You can recruit at an elite level and still be a very average program. I’m not saying recruiting doesn’t matter because of course it does. I’m saying good recruiting + poor coaching = mediocre results.
