[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 803789, member: 282"] For what it’s worth, Athlon looked at the ACC, and based on aggregate recruiting has us just behind Louisville, just barely below average in the conference. I think we were 8th out of 15 teams. They did “excuse” last year’s class ranking, because Collins “made heavy use of the transfer portal to fill positions of immediate need”. We fared worse in the “rankings by position group”. Athlon stack ranked seven position groups ([URL='https://247sports.com/college/miami/Article/Miami-Hurricanes-Football-2021-How-Miami-compares-to-the-rest-of-the-ACC-in-Athlons-total-position-group-rankings-165889639/']article on 247 sports[/URL]), and we came out third from the bottom. Only Syracuse and Duke ranked worse. If you had the best QB, you’d get a “1”, and if they thought you had the worst, you’d get a “14”. I don’t have a direct link to the article, but last year’s groups were 1. QB 2. RB 3. WR/TE 4. OL 5. DL 6. LB 7. DB are the position groups. Last year, we were dead last, so this is an improvement. Knowing that we’re solid at RB, we’d have near the bottom in the rest of their position groups. Also, I think our fan base doesn’t buy a ton of Athlon, and it shows in their coverage. There’s plenty of reason to give Athlon’s analysis the stink eye, but it’s a fair interpretation that we’re not close to the college preview trade rag perspective of “Grandma Talent”, and we have to leapfrog Pitt and VT before taking a shot at the Miami’s and UNC’s, much less Clemson. However, a combo of improved recruiting and a Pastner-like “get old, stay old” model could help us look a lot better. [/QUOTE]
