[QUOTE="Greensboro, post: 1455793, member: 7536"] Thanks for the analysis, I think the truth lies somewhere in the middle of the 247 ranking and the average player rating. Some of the depth of the recruiting class I think is overrated because we have used those scholarships that last 2 years and this was destined to be a smaller class. But there is no doubt in my mind that if we had more open scholarships our average rating would have went down. You always cherry pick the better recruits, you would be stupid not to, if there had been some additional 4 or 5 stars that we could have gotten, we wouldn't have held back. But for the number of openings we had, we did very well & I don't think you knock the depth down for recruiting a few 5th yr transfers, when next year looks to be a smaller than average class as well. It is a good class considering the size limitations, if we call it 8th or 13th, doesn't much matter. [/QUOTE]
