It's balanced from top to bottom. They have great players at every position, they filled all their needs and they've got great numbers. It's athletes, it's speed and I think they've done very well. |
It's not going to be a sexy-looking class, but that's not what it's about. It's about going out and getting what your football team needs. From a Florida State perspective, if they go out and get the linemen, I consider it a good year, regardless of where they fall in the rankings. |
Mack Brown has been phenomenal — he's been very consistent in a state loaded with talent. I love what they've done. |
My personal favorite is a tiny wide receiver-cornerback named Ken Beasley. He is going to be a stud for them. |
People get too caught up in the rankings; it's all about filling needs. What Florida did top to bottom was address everything. They got a quarterback that can run their system, they got a trio of backs and they've got one of the best wide receiving corps I've ever seen on paper. |
Rankings don't mean anything. The bottom line is filling needs. From the Florida State perspective and even from watching them on the field this year, everybody knows what they need: offensive linemen. They could sign as many as nine or 10, so if they do that they are filling obviously a glaring need. |
Their class was secure before the season started; it wasn't just what they did this year on the field. I have a feeling this is what we're going to see on a consistent basis. They were aggressive. Notre Dame should always recruit like this. |
They had 20 or so commitments before the season even started. Amazing. They will see the benefits from the national championship next season and beyond. Although you can't recruit much better than what they have done. |
They only have so many scholarships they can give out. |
What Urban Meyer and his staff did this season was so impressive. They have filled all their needs and that's the most important factor. But they did this with some great players. This class is also so well balanced from top to bottom. |
When it's all said and done, Clemson could finish in the top 20. |
When you sign a bunch of linemen, it's not a sexy class. But who cares? They need (linemen). ... That's all that counts. |
You would not believe the doors that were opened this year compared to last year, based on making a bowl, based on turning it around and breaking that losing streak, getting a lot of national play. |
