[QUOTE="jacketup, post: 762023, member: 630"] Leave it to a bunch of Tech guys to seize on numbers and forget what is behind them. The recruiting rankings are a bunch of (subjective) numbers, but what is behind them? For years we were in the 40-50's, but based on skill position players. We weren't signing linemen, which is what is hurting us now. The problem is that linemen are harder to rate, and the services don't do a good job of rating them--but admittedly, it's harder to rate an OL than it is a 6'4 WR with 4.3 speed and 30 TD receptions. But forget the rankings--we just weren't signing enough linemen. Like many of you are saying, we are currently close to most of the ACC in the rankings. Clemson Miami and UNC are a cut above, and there are a bunch of teams in the middle. But so what? At the end of the day, it's about signing what you need. We weren't doing that when you look at the Jrs and Srs on this team. We have some good Jrs and Srs, but not necessarily at the right positions. If you want to look at rankings and stars, you also have to look at transfers. We have a young transfer from Michigan and one from ND. We are getting one from Texas. We may get one from Alabama and one from Miss St. We are doing better there than most of ACC teams. We also have older transfers from UF and Tennessee--if they come back for one more year. DTs have always been a problem, and will likely to continue to be. [/QUOTE]
