I don't think any poster has said "three stars are awesome". So you're inventing fake counterarguments to buttress your ****** argument that Manny has 1 year because of some arbitrary blue-chip ratio. You're obsessed with a threshold that's useful for predicting national competitiveness and you overlook relative differences between our recruiting and the recruiting of other coastal/ACC teams. So I'll lay it out for you, as of right now:
1. Miami Hurricanes, 35 percent blue-chip ratio, 88.66 average (which should improve, btw)
2. North Carolina, 15 percent blue-chip ratio, 86.84
3. Georgia Tech, 5.3 percent blue-chip ratio, 86.24 average
4. Pittsburg Panthers, 6.25 percent blue-chip ratio, 85.98 average
5. Duke Blue Devils, 0 blue-chippers, 85.30 average
6. Virginia Cavaliers, 10 percent blue-chip ratio, 85.83 average
7. Virginia Tech Hookies, 0 blue-chippers, 84.47 average
And I can do the rest of the ACC, which is similarly unimpressive besides FSU and Clemson. You're also not looking at total team composite score, which is more predictive of national success than a blue-chip ratio, since it takes into account roster attrition and roster management. Meaning, you can sign a class of 4 people and if 3 are blue-chippers, you'd obviously have a high ratio, but couldn't field a team.
So your argument sucks. It sucks because you're comparing our recruiting to Clemson and then arguing that Manny only has one year because if our recruiting stays as it is we can never build up. False. Our current recruiting is more than adequate to regularly beat Coastal teams and other ACC foes. If we do that consistently, then we can slowly build our program and improve our recruiting.
Go look at Peterson's record and recruiting classes at UWash. Or Clemson under Dabo. And there are many other examples. This has been done many times before and you're acting like it's impossible.
Lol incredible. “You’re comparing miami to clemson”
