Just trying to get some positive juices flowing after that abortion of a signing day perpetrated by our defensive staff...

Our offensive haul is ******* stout! There is not a weakness in this class on that side of the ball. Maybe an extra OL... but that's it.

We upgraded at QB after a late decommitment from a kid that had no business being on this team (thank God) with a kid that was a top 10 QB that has touch and feel for the game - and we weren't his only option. Baby Richt got his guy for the second straight year. Awesome job by whoever it was that had his face as a cardboard cut out at Game Day - I'm positive that sealed the deal.

Our running back combo is one of the best in the country. Lo is a program changing back and was a great ambassador for the Canes. Cam is a beast and will give us a nice one-two punch; I'm actually excited to see what he can do in the passing game as well - he looks to have great hands. And the Realus one coming in to put ****s in the dirt and hopefully end our short yardage woes. He was also there as a 13 year old to see our first national championship in '83, so it's an added bonus

The WR room is dynamic and added great talent. Noodles is incredibly gifted and will make an impact next year plus he has a weird little dance he does when he scores and that **** is alright with me. Hightower and Ezzard give us big targets that can get separation and have some YAC ability. Ezzard looks like he's trying to steal someone's lunch money when he has the ball. Wiggins is a high ceiling prospect that could develop into a nice red zone or 50/50 ball guy. All great additions, especially Noodles and Hightower.

The TE class... my god. Brevin Jordan is the best player in this class. He's a 5*... **** what everyone else says. He's a grown man at the position and can play with his hand in the dirt (Sorry Chatfield, you f*ggot) or flexed out or at H-back. He's going to destroy multiple ACC opponents and I'm here for it. We could have rested on just Brevin, but then Hartley da Gaw goes and pulls Will Mallory, a top 10 TE and a Michigan legacy, out of dUval county to complete the #twoheadedmonster. We can has a 12 personnel package now, guys! I'm getting a half chub just THINKING about the mismatches these two savages are going to create for defenses. Red zone, middle of the field, motion (LOL), you name it... they will do it. Best recruiting done this year. Hats of the the maniac Hartley

The OL class is great. Would have liked to get one more tackle prospect, but who wouldn't? Scaife is the steal of this class. He committed as a wee lad and was just a fringe center prospect... then he went and put a bunch of 5* ends in the dirt at the UA Game and looked like he might be our RT next year. Added to that is the behemoth that is Cleveland Reed and a nice prospect in John Campbell, who is already punking the older, softer kids in the room like George Brown and letting them know who daddy is. There is no question that we have upgraded our OL room the last 2 years, which is nice to see. I guess I can add Venzell Boulware to this list too. He did GTFO of Knoxville when that tire fire exploded, so at least I know he's intelligent. Searels did well on the trail. Now if we can just learn how to pick up a twist stunt...


Guys - this is a dynamic, championship level class on offense. We have the best offensive talent in the league outside of Clemson. Extremely talented at the skilled positions and I think we have some great pieces up front to compete. I can't wait to see all of the wide open throws Rosier misses next year with all of these studs dusting fools off the line of scrimmage! Great job by the donk rider, baby richt and mostly Hartley Da Gaw. Even Searels goofy *** got in on this. Let's revel in some good news!

Couldn't agree more. This is an elite haul on offense. One more 4* OT would have been icing on the cake, but that's really nitpicking.
 
Our Offensive class can easily be considered the best in the entire country for 2018. we signed 13 Offensive players (and 10 defensive this yr). I expect that to flip next year to about 10 on offense in 2019 and about 16 on defense.


Honestly losing TC and PS2 isn't that big of a deal when you really think about it. Coburn would have made a bigger difference here.
