We're starting to stack recruiting classes starting with the '23 class, this year's juniors.
Stars: Love, Gray, Bowen, Ausberry, Greathouse, Shuler
Projected Stars: Jagusah, Traore, Absher, perhaps Mukam and Minchey with a number of other high value contributors
'24 Class
Stars: Young, KVA, Moore, Knapp,
Projected Stars: CJ Carr, Lambert, Ked Young, Aney Williams, Gilbert and/or Cam, Hobbs, etc.
Stack the '25 and '26 classes on top of that with key transfers and we are as in good shape talent-wise as we've been since Holtz, IMO.
When is the last time you could say what we had arguably the #1 RB and #1CB in the country going into the season?
We looked pretty good against A&M and UGA last year from an overall talent perspective.
