I think Mario’s career track record is that of an elite recruiter. I also think it’s a very appropriate discussion on a Canes message board to talk about where things are right now, whether it hurts feelings or not.
Personally, unless Chance goes elsewhere, at this point in time Mario’s exceeded my expectations in WR recruiting. On the other hand, the DL recruiting has a couple of good pickups but isn’t where I had hoped it would be at this time. We know that DL was the focus. OL recruiting thus far is also a disappointment to me. We really need Ahfua and another 1-2 very solid guys on the OL. Selling the OL to any QB we are after in the future will be huge. We need to stack and we’re not doing that this class
thus far.
July was the month I expected to see the results of our June visits. Today is the last day of July. I think
@WeBallinBoyz posted stats regarding 70% or so of the top 100 being committed.
We’re also below 90 in our average 247 recruit ranking though that can increase. Even when schools like Clemson were ranked lower in years past because of the lower numbers of commits, their average was very high. Just observations.
All of this considered, we’re still in it for big targets which can change all this and Signing Day is still in December but some of you need to keep in mind that this is a message board and it’s plenty acceptable to discuss this snapshot in time in our recruiting and give opinions about it, including critical ones.
