[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 15745, member: 639"] We need to recruit better. I will never argue that. We could get top 5 classes ( I'm not a big believer in class rankings BTW ) for the next three years and I would still want to get better. Having said that, the talent problems we have on the roster are limited to a couple position groups right now. Some of that is luck and some of that is just not casting a wide enough net. There are plenty of great players who are candidates for a technical degree. We are just not competing for them on a national scale because we don't have the resources to do so. We are getting better, but we need to get way better, way faster. It is going to take money and staff. I wish the hill had the mindset to pitch in with $$. That way we could keep the standards. Don't make too much of the Clemson loss in terms of a talent barometer. Yes, they had a talent advantage at QB and on the edges on offense. You have to keep some of that in perspective, however. They hit, I think, every single deep throw that landed in bounds. How often is any team going to do that? It was their night. The throws were on the money and the receivers made plays despite pretty good coverage most of the time. It wouldn't happen like that every game. It was unfortunate, and it was the difference in the game. Just 50% completions on deep balls would have made a completely different game. We had one coverage bust on a deep throw with Smith rotating too late after Young took away the underneath thinking he had help. White covered better than the results. That is really where the talent came in. He got beat on the contested balls up high against a very tall, fast, and agile kid. Wadkins is going to get his yards against everybody, not just GT. Still, I want those kind of players on or team catching passes. [/QUOTE]
