[QUOTE="91Wreck, post: 32259, member: 680"] I disagree that the class was overall a good recruiting class. I agree we recruited some good players that didn't pan out - but that happens to every team and is not something special to GT. I do agree that if we sign 25 in that class it wouldn't have been ranked in 40's. But the reason the rankings are better when you recruit more kids should be obvious. Many players aren't going to pan out. The more you sign, the better the probability that you have multiple players in each class that contribute. If we sign 25 in that class with the same average star rankings as the 18 that were signed, we would have had the extra players we needed to make up for those that didn't pan out. And with those extra players we probably would have finished with at least an 8-4 record this season. Finally, as has already been discussed, we can recruit 20-25 guys per year and allow normal attrition to take care of the oversigning issue. We just can't redshirt players like we have been. I am not convinced of the merits of redshirting. Our 5th year offensive line players certainly didn't make a strong case that redshirting works. [/QUOTE]
