This is the type of talk that kinda irks me. Yeah it's nice to be optimistic, but we also need to be realistic. He's a 3* recruit. Does he have the chance to become a "monster" if the stars align? Of course. But we also need to look at how he compares to the recruits that other teams are getting. Even with this pledge, we're still only #29 in the recruiting rankings. When we start finishing in the Top 12-15, then I'll be satisfied with our recruiting. Let's not act like every recruit we land is the second coming of [[insert NFL all-time great here]]. We've finished 4-8 & 5-7 the past two seasons and haven't won a conference championship this century. I'd say the sky fell a long time ago.

I'll take you up on that bet. 

All I'm saying is, it just seems like every time we land a recruit people act like it's some amazing feat. But in comparison, other teams are doing the exact same thing, and better. 3* guys are ok, but we need primarily 4 and 5* guys if we expect to win championships. Like it or not, every national champion in this century, with the exception of 2010 Auburn, has had multiple Top 12 classes in the years leading up to their championship season, including at least one in the Top 5. Just look at how many guys teams like LSU, Bama, Clemson, & Ohio State had drafted compared to us. Stars matter.

Would you look at that... Patrick is a 4* AND we'll easily finish this class in the 15-20 range, which guarantees we'll be closer to the #12 class than the #29 class. What a day.

Using the class calculator I don't see us making much movement above #18 without some re-ranking of other commits honestly I'm surprised Fidone isn't even higher but I'll take the #1 TE ranking anyday.

Fair. Still, even at #20, we're closer to the 12 than 29. Scott just making sure we hit the bet ;)

you watch the sh**show currently being played in Memorial Stadium and keep trying to convince yourselves that we're improving. It's the same story, year-in, year-out.

Yea you’re right.  Can’t believe that we don’t just hire Nick Saban and bring in Trevor Lawrence or Justin Fields.  Let’s just sit these guys down and have them watch some tape from the glory days of Tommy Frazier. So simple!

Let’s just make you AD my guy.  You seem to be the only one here who has figured out that good players make good teams.  Should we remind Frost that the 5 stars are the good ones?
