This is the most talented roster we've had in long god damned time and damn close to 40 or more In Progress objective.
It's doogin I know but I'm willing to view this through a lens as well. We definitely have some guys on the roster (Greg Gaines) who are 3 star guys that you can count as blue chippers. I think we are closer than even this indicates. 2019 is going to be special!
It's all part of the formula. Ideally, 50% of your 85 schollies need to be for 4/5 start 'croots. The other 50% need to be DDY 2's or better regardless of star rating. Some 4/5 star recruits will invariably suck or be mediocre (e.g., Henry Roberts) or LEAVE (e.g., Eifler) and other 3 stars like Rapp, Gaskin, SMFJ, 2016 Azeem, end up better than most Blue Chips.
Back in 2014 Budda Baker was a "must have" program course altering recruit. Now, however, we are in a better place to handle setbacks like Kahogate and Hunter Bryant's knee. Still work to do, though.
2015 Azeem was just as good if not better than 2016 Azeem. HTH.
