How many elite players currently committed?

You sound dumb when you say yearby isn't elite but Duke is. They have about the same size coming out of high school. TBH yearby is bigger

The major difference is that Duke is/was lightning in a bottle. He is a big play waiting to happen, while Yearby grinds his yards out. Another example of these mental gymnastics of our posters trying to make our players into something they are not. Yearby is not Duke. The only thing they have in common is size, but Duke was always considered an APB, who was forced into playing that full time role here.

Anyone who says Yearby isn't elite is a d.umbass. The guy is a top 25 player on the ESPN 300. Oh and yea.....have you seen him play?
 
Truth is its impossible to answer this now but best guess would be

Yearby, K.C., Thomas, Gray, and Valentine
 
The only question should be are we getting ENOUGH to be "back" , an elite team , competing for an ACC and then National Title....the answer is no.... Don't give me the potential arguments....as we all know our coaches have not shown to be the best if the best when it comes to developing talent

When we get a top QB (hopefully, it's Kayaa) than we will win. Until we get a QB we will continue to be irrelevant. Good QB's make average teams above average.
 
CaneCounty,
If you'd like a little perspective, take a look at our current roster and how they were recruited and rated when they were seniors in HS:


Metric
5-star = every major program went after him and continued to even after he committed
4-star = high end BCS offers (recruited by schools from all over)
3-star = mid level BCS offers (not a national recruit)
2-star = no other BCS offers
