Clemson...the team that won a NC and was in the NC game the year before. I"m not going to put their numbers up again...Go look at the recruiting rankings for those classes 2-4yrs leading up to that run. ND's classes were higher ranked. Much higher in some years. It's not just about having 5 star talent. In fact, the 5 star talent wont even matter if the coaches can not develop them. Sure if you had a whole field of Jaylon Smiths you're going to win...but he's a once in a decade talent. Alabama gets a lot 5 star kids that do nothing...absolutely nothing. Guys everyone on LOI day goes gaga for and then 3yrs later you're like...yo...what happened to...
Tell you right now....BK has had plenty enough talent to win a couple NCs. Guys like Dabo and Chris Petersen are as close or further along than he is with lesser "ranked" talent. Stanford and Oregon have gotten just as close with much lower ranked classes.
Get a top 10 class and coach em up. THATS IT!
