What's this?

#1, you're looking at this in a vacuum In order for it to


be true analysis you need to look at a much larger piece of the pie than the VT piece - where it's clear very few players are being developed regardless of **ranking.

#2 find me a dozen Carlos Bashams in the country. He's an anomaly.

Recruiting rankings can be off, but they aren't BS. No team won a National championship in recent memory that wasn't also loaded with talent talent that was highly regarded coming out of high school.

Additionally, are you telling me that we aren't any better or worse off today than in 2010 from a talent perspective? If the rankings were BS then why is our team one of the slowest, weakest and least talented in the ACC? Why can't our guys keep up with the likes of Clemson or ND?

Asserting that the rankings can be off is one thing, stating that they are BS with "analysis" in a vacuum simply isn't a correct evaluation IMO.
