There was obvious hyperbole, but getting one or two DTs is really important. This class sure is coming together well, though.

To a certain extent. It is proven that the higher rated your classes are the better your probability of success. I am sure you aren’t contending that we have taken 20 RB’s. I see your point, but you are way off base if you think we haven’t attacked any needs with this class. Even if we don’t land another recruit from those already in the fold now, our class is great.

If you sign 20 4 star and above recruits, and everyone of them is a RB, you will always have top 10, A rated classes. And within 2 years you will lose all your games. I couldn’t care less what scout, rivals, or espn ‘rates’ the class. It is about needs. Agreed?

A top 10 class is not a B+, it is actually an A.

Okay, to add to my above quote, if you throw in a really big, OL from the Carolina’s, I could move it up to a B++, with all the other things happening.

Okay Tim. Let’s hear your spin on this. I know it is still too early, but it is looking like a major swing and miss here. If we lose both Graves and Jones, and add Witty, only, I would give this a solid D for a grade. And for those that want to take shots at me, go ahead. But first you may want to look at the current roster, and make some recommendations on players that we can move to the DT position. I believe, with Big Will, we have THREE. Maybe we should switch to a 1-5-5 D. If we keep both of them, I give it a B. Throw Robinson in, and I give it a B+. But it is still disheartening to know that we still have major holes, depth issues, and 5-7 unused ships’. I guess I didn’t spin it very well. How are you at doing that?

I bet we get only Witty, that would be funny.
