No, a good recruiter/salesman can use this to their advantage, i.e. Bill Callahan 2005 class ranked #7.
That class was overrated and terrible, I've read it on here for the last eight years. Coaches know more than recruiting services, coaches know more than the fan base - funny how all that changes now that Blotard is gone.
My memory kinda sucks, but it seems like 75% of that class wasn't even on campus by the time they would have been redshirt juniors, highlighted by Beck.
75% is pretty high, I'd say it was closer to 50%. Around 30-ish% of the class (10 or 11 of the 32?) were JUCO guys. Let's see how many I can come up with. Redshirt juniors would mean the 2008 season, JUCO's not listed for obvious reasons...
9 of the 32 didn't make it to their redshirt junior year, 2008 season. Add in the 11 JUCO players and that's 20 of 32 that were on campus for 3 seasons or less.
- Harrison Beck
- Jordan Congdon
- Wallace Franklin, didn't qualify
- Brodrick Hunter, didn't qualify
- Leon Jackson
- Rodney Picou
- Robert Rand
- Craig Roark
- Jeff Souder
Crap, if you add in JUCO's, you're pretty damn close but IMO, that's a little misleading.

Justin Tomerlin?Name escapes me, but there was a 4 star DE that originally committed to FSU Outta high school, went juco, then never played a snap for us if memory serves. I don't know his name but would recognize it. Started with a "J" I think. I know you said you didn't count juco's, but for some reason I always remembered that guy and being a juco wasn't the reason he didn't last. Again, this is all based on memory.Tomlin???

So this year, Clemson is ranked #7. Would you rather have Riley's 2016 class or Clemson's. The point is that Callahan was a good recruiter, even with bad years.

I've said it over and over again. The legend of Bill Callahan as a great recruiter was a myth. The 2005 class is a prime example. Back then JUCO's were way over-valued on rivals, plus points were given out for all recruits, not just top 20, so big classes were really rewarded. Now the 2008 class that fell apart after his firing wold have been special.

Seriously, I didn't even catch that. I noticed the picture and "gift sales", figured it was the perfect gif. I'm dead serious.just spit out my coffee as the name typed in........
So class ranking is more important than results, like if they panned out and actually contributed? That's like saying a great chef only needs to make a dish that smells incredible, but if the dish tastes like dog$#!%, .....well he's still a good cook!
Actually, Clemson just went 14-1 and played for the national championship. So, that's like saying a great chef needs great ingredients to make a great meal.
I ask you again would you rather be #7 or #42?So class ranking is more important than results, like if they panned out and actually contributed? That's like saying a great chef only needs to make a dish that smells incredible, but if the dish tastes like dog$#!%, .....well he's still a good cook!

Agreed.I'd love a 7 class that we look back on in 4 years and say, "That class lived up to its ranking." If it doesnt, then that ranking is worth as much as my PowerBar tickets from the 1.5 bil drawing.
I'd prefer a class where a high percentage of players become contributors, over a supposed 5 class where so many never did.
I'd rather wait and see where we finish, cuz it sure as hell won't be #42...I ask you again would you rather be #7 or #42?
