This is true, our staff is targeting elite guys. We’ve missed 3 and landed two on that whale list. As you can see below there’s 10 I have targeted. We will end up with more misses than hits just because but if we land 4 on here and end up 4/10, to me it’s a success. We were never landing the entire board. The level of success though depends on who else we get and 2 of Franklin, Breland and Stewart is definitely doing what was needed.

Keepin it 100, Teddy got potential. Dont care what his rating is, i like him a lot. Daniels and K Jackson nice too. See you know me RVA, since ive been here since 2019, im not gonna sit here and compare our class to Miami’s.

Yall have different needs than us this cycle (and every cycle for that matter) and yall really havent lost kids i felt i can say “unbiasedly” that yall shouldnt have lost. Only realistic lost on the trail is ole boy who went to Nebraska. Everyone else yall was CLEARLY in 2nd/3rd place or wasnt heavily recruiting

I’m sure he’s got potential and we recruited him but I wouldn’t call it stuffing Mario in the closet or locker. Not this one. He wasn’t really discussed much on here.

The Nebraska one is a loss but each of these guys has a value to each team and that can differ. Nebraska valued him more than us. The gator valued Hawkins more than us. Doesn’t mean we could have had either for certain but I know we have our resources and our priorities and don’t always opt to push further.

Stewart’s probably the number one I’ve wanted on the DL.

After I saw his tape I felt he was Chase Young type, then like a few days later the coaches say that. I don't like throwing names out there that were just top picks. But that's exactly the type of game he has and Chase had that similar frame but by year 2 you couldn't recognize him dude turned into Thanos.

What’s hysterical is that are we supposed to be scared that Taint won’t give up on Lightfoot? Of course they won’t give up, he is a top 5 EDGE in the country.

No one ever gives up on top guys. I don't understand gator fans. Last year Billy got stuffed in the locker. This season he started off ok but he still recruiting from that locker. Once they start decommiting you know the vents on the locker were sealed off by other coaches and Billy suffocated in there. He may die this cycle unless they sneak an IV in the locker for one more season.

If you’re breaking the bank on a few players, he’s 1.

I like the addition of Hawkins for us but, and i’ll eat crow if i’m wrong 3-4 years from now, he’s not a “make or break” your class type of guy. If he turns out to be a 800+ yard guy for us, i still will feel like yall wont be to torn up about it. Same with us and Kinsler last cycle. I wont scorch the Earth being salty if he ends up an All ACC player.

On the cool, yall 2023 and 2024 classes and the same with ours, i’m willing to bet yall are ok with those who youve take commitments from (stars be damned) if you looked at them objectively.

As long as HOLES are being filled with guys you can see contributing as time goes on and not JAGS, all is well.

On Swamp Gas i made a post breaking down our 2023 and 2024 classes position wise and came away seeing we’ve recruited a starting O and starting D when it comes to ONLY HS recruiting.

How many Ravens do we want on the list? The ones we’re targeting or all and who is the list consisting of aside from Mack, Jo Jo, Patterson, Smith and McCoy?

Shavers? Gause? Can’t remember the QB???

Bailey is the QB and I would go with the ones that we want and add Bailey and Gause.
