What do you consider stellar? Where would you put our offensive class recruiting this year as far as the rankings go? You really think its about where it should be besides lacking another OL?
To me it seemed we just loaded up on WRs (which is good).
Seriously? Man, you must really be seeing the glass half empty. As I said, I was disappointed with our overall defensive recruiting. But think objectively for a moment about offense.
- 4* QB who was a long time committ to LSU flipped to UF.
- Four 4* receivers, three of which are EE's, the value of which cannot be overestimated, as this was clearly a huge weakness. The other was a last minute flip and ranked the number two WR in the NATION. Another 4* JC WR who possesses elite speed. Total of FIVE 4* WR's to fill a huge weakness on O.
- Two elite 4* RB's. One was ranked NUMBER ONE JC running back in the nation. The other, an Alabama native was being personally recruited by Saban and bama and he choose UF anyway.
- I am pleased with the quality of OL we got. Three really good ones. One EE which may pay dividends in the Fall. I would have rather we signed at least one more, preferably two. But at least we have numbers on the OL again, though they'll still be really young next year.
- the NUMBER ONE kicker in the country who we flipped from bama. Yes, I count that as offense, especially considering the number of points we missed out on over the years with Hardin. Hell! Mac almost completely quit even ATTEMPTING FG's the last few games of the season. That has to greatly impact offensive game planning not to mention just being COMPLETELY demoralizing.
- We missed at TE which really sucks. But we have numbers there right now. We'll need to land a couple there next year and hopefully at least one will be elite.
Basically our misses were one TE and one OL. Considering how absolutely pathetic our O looked the second half of the season, I thought Mac did a stellar job recruiting offensive recruits and selling them on what his offense "could" look like.
I don't know how you look at that offensive class not be impressed with what he was able to put together. Unless of course, you say it was incomplete in the absence on another OL. We didn't really NEED a TE in this class so I say, two more, even one more really good OL and I would've given it an A+. As is I give it an A or A- at the very least.
