re: Shea Dixon’s latest class prediction

Kirby’s classes started piling up after year two

Kirby had the #3 class after his first season.

Not good enough. Where is the top end talent?

It seems like some of you are forgetting coaching and development of players matters too...Not to mention that we are filling positions of need much better than we did with O.

Last year we beat Bama and went to the SEC Championship with a mix and match team. Clemson has won multiple NCs with lower ranked classes than Kelly had in year 1 or the current Shea prediction.

Saying we can't win a NC with the foundation Kelly is building, or saying this class is "not good enough" is looking at things from a very short term perspective.

I think the smart thing to do is trust Kelly until he gives us a reason not to.

Yea I mean you can say in every class that there would be some underrated recruits that are superstars. When you are tryna say the majority of your class is underrated then the numbers prove otherwise in most cases by the services.

There’s a reason that five star recruits percentage is the highest to make it to the nfl on recruiting services.

Georgia also had four, five-star signees in 2020 according to on-3 to accompany that class.

I know this is an unpopular opinion on here but yes I think both the Texas schools will be competing with Georgia and Alabama, Texas a$m freshman class was incredible.

I like what Brian Kelly is doing I just wonder why he doesn’t battle for these higher ranked recruits across the board. It’s not his money he’s spending?

What is the NFL main made of? My guess is 4star and below from what they been showing. If recruiting nothing but 5 stars instead of players that fit best then might as well be called LSU A&M. Everyone Saw what A&M did with that so called historic class and they hat Texas has done as well. Unless you think those 2 schools are going to be contending for NCs in these next few yrs, I would trust the coaches more than a recruiting service. 2022 Georgia signed 14 low 4stars- 3stars and 2020 12

Because there are hundreds of 4 stars and thousands of 3 stars and only about 30 5 stars. It’s not even a debate 5 stars gets to the nfl at a MUCH higher rate than 3 and 4 stars. There is also a direct correlation between number 1 classes and national titles.

The difference in Georgia and Bama is the develop their talent. Those 5 stars are not guaranteed to start over there so they get developed where Texas has shown over yrs they are unable to develop those 5 star talents like a Bama and Georgia. Serious question do you think a 2 star Jefferson develops to what he became at LSU at A&M or Texas? Do you think a 4 star FB in Devin White develops at LB at Texas or stays at FB? Do you think a 3 star LB Patrick Queen develops the same way at Texas A&M. There’s kids that’s committed right now that’ll develop and ball at LSU under House and Kelly. I xample since I’m from the DFW area I seen Davhon Keys go up against Anthony Hill (#1 LB in 2023) and out play him. Even Stantunci said it. The knock on Keys is that’s he’s what 6’0” instead of 6’2”. From what LSU shown over the yrs those 6’0” LBs do good things there. House knows what he’s doing, hell you see what Bick Bolton did his rookie yr at KC? He was a 3star LB that went to Mizzou and on the Butkus. There’s bo way I would think Mizzou can develop LBs better than LSU especially with House coaching.

Also I wouldn’t be surprised if Kelly isn’t selling a big NIL, he seems like the type that’s going to sell a path to the NFL like Bama and Georgia do. Yes they all give NIL but nothing like Texas A&M, Texas, Arkansas Or Louisville

Clemson won multiple national championships because they landed back to back generational QBs. They were also sprinkling in 5 stars elsewhere.

I think House is going to develop NFL caliber LBs because he knowswhat the NFL is looking for and he’s a good coach. I don’t know if he‘ll become a head coach soon but coaching LBs he can do at a high level
