WE ARE FILLING NEEDS.... No matter how many times you refuse to acknowledge that. WE NEED NUMBERS, and we're getting players we NEED that Mac deems as talented and COACHABLE.
We are still heavily in the mix for some high 4 and 5 star guys. We'll get some of them and miss on some of them. But in the end we will grab a few more 4 and 5 stars which apparently, will be the only ones worth a shhiitt according to you.
In the meantime quit acting like a...
Perine is now a 4-star or Rivals.I believe the JUCO athlete Dre Massey got bumped from 3-4* as well...oh and that bum 3* RB Lamical Perine is being hounded by Alabama right now trying desperately to get him to flip...but he's just a 3*
Ok was a 3 starPerine is now a 4-star or Rivals.

You can't use logic here. But you know, sometimes the bigger picture is just way too difficult for the average low information fan to fathom.
You can't use logic here. I'm pretty sure that isn't allowed. Several of us have tried to explain there are only so many 4 and 5 star players out there. Some of those are going to stay home to be close to mommy and daddy. Nothing will change their minds. Some of them are dedicated to a certain school because they've been fans all their lives. Nothing will change their minds. There's only so many 4-5 star players left willing to be flipped. We need depth desperately. Sometimes you just gotta try to find the best 3* athletes that you think will fit into your system, have the character you demand from your players, and appear coachable, to fill your VERY depleted roster with some much needed depth.

Yup...If we can somehow eek out a win in our bowl game I think maybe a few prima donna's that aren't EE's might jump on the train also to avoid getting left out in the cold by the staff....Love the way recruiting is going. Can't wait for the next few weeks when EE have to commit. We may be in for some nice surprises.
In before someone says we are highly ranked due to quantity, not quality.
But wait.. you shouldn't listen to Rivals.. it's ESPN .. er.. no.. scout.. er.. 247... whichever one has us lowest.
Well go hit the recruiting trails then, ass champion, and see if you can get us some 4 and 5* talent.It is the most 3 star heavy class we've had in years...maybe ever. The truth we are highly ranked because of quantity. No matter how times you post one liners on here...it doesn't change.
Not at all. Actually, Rivals tends to have kids from the SE ranked higher. They don't go out of their way to give some kid from Idaho or Connecticut a 5th star just to prove "they don't have a southern bias".But wait.. you shouldn't listen to Rivals.. it's ESPN .. er.. no.. scout.. er.. 247... whichever one has us lowest.
Rivals is better, no doubt, but Thompson is going to be a big, bad Gator, no doubt. I can't wait to see him in O&B.Scout doesn't count because reasons.

Give me two inside backers (three even better) and a kicker and I'll be happy.WE ARE FILLING NEEDS.... No matter how many times you refuse to acknowledge that. WE NEED NUMBERS, and we're getting players we NEED that Mac deems as talented and COACHABLE.
Same people who complained about lack of numbers under Muschamp, now complain about getting numbers under McElwain.
Lets look at some data...
The average number of 5* athletes the last 15 years, 29 (1.1% of players who sign LOI)
The average number of 4* athletes the last 15 years, 352 (approximately 12.7%)
3* are 43.0% of the the LOI signers athletes over 1300 on average
2* Athetes are 43.2% of the the LOI signers almost 1400 on average
So since it's so easy to get the 5* and 4* in mass. If we have approximately 32 scholarships due to limited roster. And 128 D1 FBS schools and each having their own fanbase and needs. As far as a numbers game but with 11 4* currently (composite rankings) and a few spots available it could be a pretty decent class.
This belly aching sounds a lot like last year, where everyone was saying that McElwain couldn't close last year and our recruiting class would be in the 70s. What happened then. It's not even January yet. Some people on here like to complain to complain.
Whose averages are these? UF? Bama? SEC? Or just a general average?
Because to my knowledge you have never followed recruiting and for you to all of a sudden jump up and pretend like you know everything about recruiting is pretty pretentious.
