[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 769861, member: 2299"] Very accurate? I guess in your own mind. The primary "defense" of this year's class is that it featured several high level, immediately eligible, 4 year transfers that weren't accounted for in the rankings. That isn't something that happened under Johnson almost ever, certainly not to the point that it was used as a defense for his class. You tried to paint this the same argument as those who pointed to class size alone as the reason for the poor rankings which is absurd because the issue this year isn't class size. It's that effectively a quarter of our class simply isn't accounted for. The second "defense" is that because of COVID many players weren't able to participate in the summer before senior year camps, and in some cases senior year entirely, making it so the recruiting services across the board were going to be less accurate because they had significantly less material on which to judge the players. Needless to say that wasn't the case under Johnson, and is fundamentally different than the argument that Johnson knew better than the recruiting services because he was recruiting for "fit" and certainly has nothing to do with the argument about pandering to bigger universities. As far as your statement about not commentating on the quality of the class, that's like if I say Sarah Jessica Parker has a horse face and then turn around and claim I'm not making a comment on the quality of her appearance only making a very accurate statement about how she shares the exact same features as a horse. If I have to add that caveat it's because I know that saying she has a horse face is implying something about the quality of her appearance and the caveat doesn't change that. [/QUOTE]
