The Class of 2025

[Dwinstitles]

I don’t remember ever seeing an unranked HS guy come in and be on any preseason list like that. That’s wild.

He must be rag dollin ninjas in practise to make such a leap

 

[DMoney]

The 2025 class keeps looking better.

Toney, Pringle, Moore, Fitzgerald, Upshaw, Scroggins and Simpson all made plays in the NC State win.

 

[DubCaliCane]

Fantastic hit rate on the class thus far

 

[nycane]

The 2025 class keeps looking better.

Toney, Pringle, Moore, Fitzgerald, Upshaw, Scroggins and Simpson all made plays in the NC State win.

Schott, the Center, Lowe and Wiley will be ballers too.

better class than rankings say.

 

[TwentySix]

Rewatching the game, don’t know if this is the first game or not but Marcelin was also out there on kickoff coverage.

 

[tdjones34]

Schott, the Center, Lowe and Wiley will be ballers too.

Buchannon too

 

[We'retheBoss]

For this many freshmen to not look out of place contributing and some even starring....

 

[FromDeeeeep]

Schott, the Center, Lowe and Wiley will be ballers too.

I have reservations about SJ but I agree with the rest and would add Antoine and Buchanon

 

[TrojanCane]

Between this freshman class and the transfers being true difference makers, the scouting department is earning their checks. Major kudos to those guys.

Which player from this class do you think has improved the most from camp to now ?

We hit on nearly all or all our top guys plus several down the list. Definitely outperformed the class ranking and will prove to be a Top 10 if not Top 5 class when re-ranked in 3-4 years:

5 of first 6 are hits, 8 confirmed hits overall, 3 Leans Hit.

247 Composite Stack Ranking:
Lowe -- Hit
SJ -- Leans Hit
Moore -- Hit
Fitzgerald -- Hit
Pringle -- Hit
Antoine -- Leans Hit
Nickel -- TBD
Scroggins -- Hit
Ewald -- Leans Hit
Schott -- TBD
Gilbert -- TBD
Buchanan -- TBD
Toney -- Hit (steal of the class)
Wallace -- TBD
Upshaw -- Hit
Marcellin -- TBD
Simpson -- Hit (runner up for steal of the class)
Newton -- TBD
Campbell -- TBD
WIlkerson -- TBD

Contrast the above to 2023. Hit Top 3 but missed the next 4. Only 6 hits overall after three years, only 3 TBDs left, so close to being fully baked. Unless all three of Bruno, Carver and Bobby turn into All Americans, that is not a #8 class upon post-college re-evaluation.

Maigoa -- Hit
Samson -- Hit
Bain -- Hit
Wayne -- Miss
Riley Williams -- Miss
Ray Ray -- Miss
Stafford -- Miss
Fletcher -- Hit
Bryant -- Leans Hit (but won't start at Miami)
Brown -- Hit
Popo -- Hit
Robby -- Miss
CJ -- Miss
Bobby -- TBD
Josh Horton -- TBD and transferred
Kinsler -- TBD
Kirk -- Miss
Emory -- Wash (leans hit given what we expected)
Carver -- TBD
Spencer -- Miss
Tripp -- Miss
Pulliam -- Miss
Tinbilau -- Miss
Freeney -- Miss

If we’re including people doing things elsewhere I’d call Wayne and Horton hits tbh, Wayne is starting at Cal and Horton is a rotational player at UGA.

 

[TexasCane90]

Bodes well for next season…

Honestly helps cheapen the portal additions to just a few select positions and being able to be picky for true difference makers with proven production

 

[aleahy]

The focus on SR seasons will help here. I’m a big fan of that approach.

I would make these changes

SJ - TBD
Buchanan - Leans Hit.

Buchanan is already 2nd team RG as a true freshman and has seemingly passed up Minaya.

 

[MiamisMoperiestMopes]

SJ -- Leans Hit

how?

Minaya was playing tackle yesterday before Plazz came in.

 

[FromDeeeeep]

Minaya was playing tackle yesterday before Plazz came in.

Good catch I didn’t notice that during the broadcast.
