For this little exercise, I'll use the 247 Composite ranking since its an aggregate of all the services.
LT: Ereck Flowers (4*), Sonny Odogwu (3*), KC McDermott (4*)
LG: Jon Feliciano (Not Rated), Taylor Gadbois (3*), Alex Gall (3*)
C: Shane McDermott (Not Rated), Hunter Knighton (3*), Nick Linder (3*)
RG: Danny Isidora (4*), Trevor Darling (4*)
RT: Trevor Darling (4*), Sonny Odogwu (3*), Reilly Gibbons (4*)
Note: Until the recruiting here gets better and more heralded kids are accumulated, the Canes will continue to get mushed on the OL when the competition goes up a step or two. The interior of the line in particular is missing serious talent. This is the reason why this team cant get 3rd and 1 and 4th and 1.
QB: Ryan Williams (Not Rated), Kevin Olsen (4*), Brad Kaaya (4*)
Note: Unless Olsen/Kaaya hit, like the OL, this position is filled with busted lottery tickets and "maybe the light goes on" guys. Otherwise, this position and DT is what hangs on the neck of the program like an anchor.
RB: Duke Johnson (4*), Dallas Crawford (4*), Gus Edwards (3*), Joe Yearby (4*), Brandon Powell (3*)
Note: In South FL, and at Miami, this is what a god**** skill position depth chart should look like. There is only one guy with size here which needs to be addressed quickly.
WR - X: Stacey Coley (4*), Philip Dorsett (4*), Malcolm Lewis (4*)
WR - Y: Herb Waters (4*), D'Mauri Jones (3*), Tyre Brady (3*)
WR - Slot: Malcolm Lewis (4*), Braxton Berrios (4*)
Note: Front line guys (Coley, Waters, Lewis) are only going to be around two more years max AND the recruiting after them gets very light. This position becomes a big priority talent wise (not numbers wise) in 2015.
TE - Clive Walford (Not Ranked), Standish Dobard (4*), Beau Sandland (4*), Jake O'Donnell (2*)
Note: Young talent is at a serious premium here. Sandland/Walford are Seniors. Dobard is the only here that has any ceiling (I've seen O'Donnell on a couple of occasions)....guy is always getting slapped around out there.
There is just not enough front line talent here to compete for the ACC (Clemson/FSU/UNC/Louisville) much less national titles. This offensive roster represents, at best, a 9/10 win team if it had a god**** defense to pair up with. It doesnt, which is the real issue here. The coaching here sucks...so we will need to outclass people, not out-scheme or out coach them.
There is not enough talent here to outclass anyone right now.
Summary:
5* starters/2 Deep: 0
4* starters/2 Deep: 11
3* starters/2 Deep: 4
2* starters/2 Deep: 0
