Yeah, but you can't really start recruiting until your fourth year as a coach. Everyone knows that new coaches won't be successful recruiting in their first three years. /pumpWe have a Winner!!! This should ease everyone's mind even more on the recruiting front. View attachment 2852
No schit. We all know that Bama, FSU and OSU are doing it with high ranked classes. The point is that some are doing it without the class rank. There are a few in the SEC that are ranked as well or higher than us with less to show, like LSU, and UGA.I noticed none if those teams you listed play in the SEC.
I'll admit your comment gives me hope but none of those teams play in the SEC and have half the schedule we do. That being said I'm not as worried about rankings as much as I am about depth. Mac's recruiting linebackers and defensive tackles like muschamp recruited quarterbacks and offensive linemen.Generally I would say this is a make or break year in recruiting for Mac. With a smaller class in '17, the average stars need to be in the top five. I'm not worried about the overall ranking, but a good star average should put us in the top ten easily. However, part of me says why worry about class rankings if the product on the field continues to improve? There are several teams competing at the highest level that haven't been pulling in highest of recruiting rankings...
Clemson - average class rank in the last four years 14
Oklahoma - average class rank in the last four years 14.25
Oregon - average class ranking in the last four years 17.5
Mighigan State - average rank in the last four years 29.25
Baylor - average class rank in the last four years 29
TCU - average class rank in the last four years 36.75
Florida's four average is 9.25
Class rankings aren't everything. If we are in the top 10, we should be able do well with proper development.....as long as we bring in the right guys. Player evaluation is the most important part of this process.
*Average of four years is from Rivals, ESPN and Scout rankings over last four classes ('12-'15). This did not include the '16 class as they have yet to see the field.
My point was, you can have lower ranked recruiting class when you play a crap schedule. It doesn't take much talent to win in conferences that only have 2 good teams like the ACC, Pac12, Big10, Big12.No schit. We all know that Bama, FSU and OSU are doing it with high ranked classes.

We rank 6th overall in this time period (tied with UGA), only trailing Bama and LSU in the SEC Yet there have been many teams in the conference fielding better teams. Also USCw has a higher average. What do they have show for it?
Yeah...I think I've heard that somewhere before However Richt & Chump 2.0 are busting that Bulls*it theory wide open! View attachment 2855
Yes, this is true. Fair enough. It's a valid point.My point was, you can have lower ranked recruiting class when you play a crap schedule. It doesn't take much talent to win in conferences that only have 2 good teams like the ACC, Pac12, Big10, Big12.

Especially when you don't have any.Uhh, you do realize that it's March, right? Commitments at this point mean little to nothing.
Uhh, you do realize that it's March, right? Commitments at this point mean little to nothing.
While I agree with the premise of your argument, it's still very concerning when you consider our rivals aren't having to say that. I like Mac and hope he's the answer, but he's gotta pick it up on the recruiting trail...especially on defense.Guys...it is March...seriously
A lot will transpire over the next 10-11 months. If we have a successful season we will be fine.
Recruiting has turned into such a circus. A lot of these kids committed now will decommit/flip by signing day. I wouldn't recommend going on suicide watch or declaring a program shutdown just yet lol.

I'm suggesting that maybe evaluation and development are more important.
Just another rationalization. Let me know how the above works out.
