Early Singing Signing Day

yall giving me PTSD with this "next year we'll know more" talk. how many years of forgiveness key get? cuz clown got about 2 too many.

I mean, he at least gets more than one month lol.
 
12th in ACC isn't good but better than UVA/Syr
56 in 247 nat composite isn't good but falls in top 65 so still in the P5 group.
the grade i'd give GT for this 2023 HS class is a D
I can't grade Key/Staff as they inherited this and there's no objective metrics for this situation.
Stainsberry and his Clown earned all the blame.
.
Of those who have materialized from the transportal. We have some who appear to be able to contribute immediately.
This is good.
however, portal entries will continue as teams play bowl games up to NCG.
i think the early portal window closes abt 2 weeks after NCG around Jan20.
I'll wait to opine about transfers until then.
 
I'm sure this has been asked and answered somewhere else but I haven't seen it...

Approximately how many more open slots do we have this year?

yep, the portal is the only way out for Key since this hi school group is probably not going to give much help anytime soon.

It’s the first class with half of Collins dudes. Let’s see what he does next year once we go 7-5 or 8-4

Looks Like we have 3 defined Tiers of schools.

Tier 1: Miami, Clemson, Florida State
Tier 2: UNC, VPI, NC State, Louisville
Tier 3: Wake Forest, Pittsburgh, Duke, BC, GT, UVA, Syracuse

What's interesting to me are his comments about how overuse of the portal creates a "transient" team that has to be replaced every year. As many of us have speculated, this may be what held back development of the OL the past 4 seasons.

It has broken out into 3 tiers for last several recruiting cycles. VPI may be in the 2nd tier mainly because they took 26. Duke took 26 and stayed 3rd tier which is telling.
GT almost made Tier 1 in 2020; but hasn't sniffed it since.

Were were tier 1 because of Gibbs and Sims in 2020? Or were they 2019.

It is arguable whether we were the bottom of tier 1 or the top of tier 2. We were 5th in the ACC, almost like we were the lone team in tier 2 that year. Gibbs, Sims, Brooks & Ivey were all 4 stars, and we had half as many 4 stars as FSU who was 4th in the ACC.

2020 was an exceptionally good class for us with Gibbs & Sims; but it wasn't anywhere close to a Clemson a Miami typical class.

So we lost 3 of the headliners from our 2020 class. ooof. I hope Collins chokes on a bag of dicks.
