Although we are presently listed as the #1 class, it is based on the sheer numbers of recruits that we have. Our 18 far outnumber everyone else; however, the concern is about the quality that we have: 12 of our 18 recruits are 3 stars.
Other powers wait for studs to commit, and when they do, they vault over us in the ratings. That's been a trend in recent years.
For example, the podcasters weren't that impressed with our latest 3 star recruit, WR Jerome Bettis, Jr., whose lack of route running skills and speed were noted.
Marcus has the reputation as a tireless, dynamic recruiter. If so, what's the hurry in gathering a class?
The podcasters felt that unless we connect on a number of studs like DB Dallas Golden and WR Derek Meadows, we could struggle to field a top ten class.
Wouldn't it be better to wait for the studs than to gather the low-hanging fruit?
