2017 Recruiting Thread Part 1

[noonan05]

The WR's shutting it down doesn't worry too much as i see it as a position we will he strong in this year now we have a coach who knows how to run routes other then hitches and go's.

I'm just praying we can land Taquon and Chaisson and if we flip Calloway I'll be very happy.

6 in-state 5 stars

#1 kinda hurts

Did you notice that they moved up Chaisson from #90 to #11?

Zach Shackleford and Malcolm Roach were both 3 star recruits and other than Buechele, were the most impactful true freshmen from last season.  The star system is nothing more than a filler for writers looking for content IMO.

I am not going to get into a long drawn out discussion about star rankings but the data is very clear if you want to compete and win national championships in CFB you must have a roster full of 4 and 5 star talent. I encourage  you to google articles about star rankings and winning championships. It is pretty shocking data.

Very true on the stats about 4 and 5 stars. You don't need 5star players to make it to 10 win season. If we can get a 10 win season then the 5 star players will come.

These kids want to play for us they just need a reason to.

Hope you are right and I think you are. Recruiting in transition years is always tough.

I thought I saw where Clemson did not have a top 10 class the last 4 years. I could be wrong though.

Clemson currently has the 10th ranked roster by overall talent/star rankings. They have on the roster right now 

four 5 stars thirty-seven 4 stars and thirty-four 3 stars....Their roster is probably right on the fringe from most rosters who can compete for national championships. Having an elite QB made all the difference for them..

By comparison the Texas roster has

one 5 star

thirty nine 4 stars 

Forty 3 stars.

Which is the 11th ranked roster by talent.

Thanks MB. Now that they have won the NC they should pull top 5 classes. Winning cures all.

They actually had the 4th best class in 2015 per Rivals.
