If people are tu for being excited about a bunch of 5 stars,

why be upset when people post about 3 stars? I stopped paying too much attention to recruiting because I do trust this staff. But at this point I think its reasonable to be surprised that we aren't pulling in more 4-5 star talent.. certainly nothing wrong with discussing it the same as we would if they were positivr post about higher ranked kids.
The reality is this coaching staff has raised the bar, and fan expectations have followed. Nothing wrong with that. While I will sit back and enjoy watching what happens over the year, there's nothing wrong with people wondering why things seem so different this year. It is downtime after all.

Yes, but we currently have 17 recruits with only room for 8 more at max. It works if these recruits pan out, but just remnicent of the Bowden days of mediocrity.

Maybe more if we have unexpected attrition/early departures.

back in the dark days of our program under TB and before it seems like the best we ever recruited were 3-stars. I'm just paranoid about things slipping back down to that level.
But I know the ratings are open to question and I also know that the level of college coaching makes big difference in how a high school player actually performs in college.
Since our coaches are second to none, I'm confident they'll make these 3-stars into real stars!

2020 is set up to probably wind up being out best class ever.

Class size only plays a small roll. The bigger issues are the top prospect are not in our traditional areas, SEC schools are going all out to catch up and just bad luck on players like Pickens who always wanted to be a coot. Last year was a historic class but it is not possible to have that type of class every year. I will say 2020 looks to be much more favorable

I imo some of it has to do with uga and the way they've recruited the last three classes and show no signs of slowing up. We will really see what happens to them in 2020 and beyond if they can sustain.
This class isn't over by any means and we've already seen a few get bumped to higher status, plus you definitely have to go by what other schools have offered. Another thing is what these kids are being told about Clemson from other coaches - one being about O-Lineman and how Clemson players may get drafted but they disappear in 3 yrs etc etc.
See Q's post for a great explanation on recruiting.

Remember this -Dabo recruits FOOTBALL PLAYERS -what was Josh Belk's star rating? How did he work out? Also Dabo looks at the person -is he a team player? What's his character?
His system looks like it works pretty good to me.

funny thing about all this star stuff

at least half of these so-called 3*'s will end up being 4*'s. all you have to look at is the offers. seems to be a method to the madness.

Maybe Dabo thinks we have enough super players and he's recruiting good influences, stability, GPA and grad rate specialists for the moment.
Now let me see- where did I put that sarcasm font?
