He better figure out recruiting sooner rather than later. Had the 53rd ranked class in 2021 and didn’t have a single top 250 recruit that wasn’t a WR or RB in 2020. He seems pretty good in the portal though.
We took only 13 HS recruits so that’s where 53rd comes from after being close to the top 20. Bunch of OL, ability to build a competent OL without big time HS kids will pretty much determine whether or not this works. Lots of hype internally that they are in great shape to bring in a monster 2022 class. With 20 returning starters on a team that might have been pretty good(literally only played 4 games, with two colossal chokes), we’ll know whether Herm can turn hype into results by December.
Is everyone else expecting to bring in a smaller class this year with the eligibility extension throwing things off? The talk on our side seems to be that we'll fall well short of the 18 guys Fedora brought in during the scholly restrictions.
ASU did that in 2021 preemptively, would have had somewhere around 60 guys that were freshmen in eligibility terms with a fuller class. Have to assume that there will be some easing with the 85 in 2022 and 2023 or teams are going to have to be ruthless cutting dead weight. Doubt the NCAA wants that kind of headline
apparently, at the moment, the ncaa isn't too interested in temporarily raising the limits *shocker* but yeah I agree they'll eventually cave when it becomes a bigger issue in the media
Let me tell you about our most recent experience with a Cade... Clemson just better not let this guy's dad near any folding chairs on campus.
