being recruited as a wr.

how many wr's have we had recently that had sec offers?

Someone thinks there is a flag that UVA didn’t offer.

Are people really still on the Hafley-and-staff-cant-identify-good-talent ship? I would have thought that ship had sailed based on the number of big name schools trying to poach our talent?

Agreed. We can all envision numerous Power-5 HCs and RCs holding recruiting meetings with their staffs and saying: "Pfft. You think I care that kid is committed to [i]Boston College!!??? That's not like trying to yank him from Clemson or Alabama or someone. Go get him.[/i]"

It will be stressful trying to keep these guys on-board, but I'd rather be in this position. Over time that will diminish as schools learn BC commits are solid rather than just locking in a spot while they search for something "better".

we've had multiple decommits

But only 2 that had committed to JH.

So if we factor out those 2, plus the other ones, plus the ones that will but haven't at this time, our commits are rock solid on BC

Jesus, Funishment sucks. If the recruits don't have enough stars he bitches, but if we get good recruits and start losing some like every decent school that gets good recruits, we can't keep the recruits.

There is zero wrong with weeding out Daz recruits that end up at Old Dominion and taking recruits that are good enough to be poached by P5 schools. Downside = zero. The ISL all stars will still be there if everyone decommits.

It's funny to me that we end up with the 60th ranked class every year but the first couple of times each new coach does it people get so excited.

contrary to what you and IB think, I'll say it again that Daz's problem wasn't recruiting talent. he did a greta job of turning 8-4 regular season teams into 6-6 with his awesome coaching skills.

Thank you for that post addressing a completely different topic than the one being discussed, in which you ascribe to me a position I never held, and espouse an opinion that is entirely unoriginal. IB runs circles around you and he's a fat moron lying for attention. Think about that!

60th ranked recruiting class every year implies Daz could not recruit any better than Spaz and Spaz could not recruit (too busy watching Hingham LL games), which thus implies Daz could not recruit.

as for me espousing unoriginal opinions... are you just realizing that now? only took you 10+ years to figure it out. fucking Einstein right here.

who is the QB hansen? In 7 years how many of his QB recruits played professional football? How many NFL caliber defensive tackles did Daz recruit? How about wide outs, how good were they? Did any of Addazio's defensive backfield recruits impress you all that much?

I'll admit, Daz did recruit a couple very good running backs. It remains to be seen exactly how much of an NFL career they will have. But I don't want to hear from you (or any of you) how talented his teams were.

It appears that you deleted your response post Hansen. You asked an important question in it, so lets answer it. How many of Addazio's recruits went into the NFL? Well....

2017
John Johnson
Los Angeles Rams
DB

Matt Milano
Buffalo Bills
LB

2018
Harold Landry
Tennessee Titans
LB

Isaac Yiadom
Denver Broncos

Kamrin Moore

2019

G

Zach Allen

Will Harris

Tommy Sweeney

TE

2020
A. J. Dillon
Green Bay Packers
RB

Okay so I think that is it.

I don't know for sure if Matt Millano or John Johnson were recruited by Addazio or his staff. But I will give him credit for those guys.

Kamrin Moore is no longer employed. I think the rest are still in the NFL. 2019, excellent showing for Addazio. Two defensive ends over this period is pretty nice (one who had his college career cut short to injury), but overall with just one first rounder and a couple second rounders over a 4 year span, I am not all that impressed. And I think if you are honest with yourself, you are probably not all that impressed either.

Ironically, one of the richest BC NFL draft classes was Spaz's recruits who were drafted in 2014. I'd argue that Addazio's on field coaching ability got more out of that 2013 team than Spaz ever could. And thus, they were drafted.

This until the end. There were some legit high school secondary problems last season.

Hansen, stop. You're actually losing an argument to no space. KPL? You think Jake Burt is getting reps with the Pats?

I think literally he is the only person on this board that thinks Daz could not recruit (positions other than QB).

DT got progressively worse as time went on. Some of the guys early in his tenure might not have been NFL-caliber but they were decent.

You are not making any sense hansen.

The two best years (the two best teams) that Addazio ever coached at Boston College, the ONLY guys on those teams that Addazio brought to those teams, were his 5th year transfers from Florida who were losing their starting jobs to incoming frosh. After 2014, Addazio's teams got progressively WORSE year after year because the players he recruited weren't very good.

Now we all had hope in 2018 when Addazio gave us a nationally ranked team that was 7-2. But they wound up finishing a very mediocre 7-5 (4-4 in ACC play) because they just weren't that good. The 7-2 start was a complete deception. The players (that gave up 35 points to TEMPLE) were just, meh.

The players have always been meh based on your dumb criteria. For 40 years.

Don Brown recruited the defensive players. When he left the defensive recruiting left with him.

Go Eagles!

Okay so even worse than I thought.

Look the book on Addazio's recruiting isn't finished yet. He has 2 or 3 more years of players who could be drafted into the NFL. I'm just saying, not that impressive. I mean other than Bailey (assuming he declares early), who is likely to be drafted from this team?

Vrabel

Petrula

Lindstrom

McDuffie (maybe not likely but if shows he's healthy)

We'll see

I agree that Vrabel will be drafted but not in 2021

So throwing my two cents in here. First if anybody is basing anything off this class or any class around the country on rankings their opinion should be ignored right off the bat. Coaches haven’t seen these recruits as much as they’d like to but were going to take the word of recruiting analysts like Farrell etc seriously in this cycle? Unless there’s football in the fall which isn’t looking great in most spots, rankings mean absolutely nothing as far as I’m concerned. You’ll probably never see a year like this again in the future in terms of disparity between the rankings and what reality was. So I’m going with offers this cycle more then any other and I’m an offers>ranking guy anyway. And I think the offer quality is up pretty much across the board in this class right now with multiple commits still picking up offers every week and most of the big fish still out there for BC. The potential is there for a very strong close to the class we’ll see if that happens. 15 of the 17 commits have another P5 offer and the two that don’t are a kicker and the international OL who most agree will pick some up if IMG plays this season.

Recruiting players that have at least one other P5 offer is a minimum expectation, not an accomplishment

So does the recruit get better when he gets three P5 offers in September? Asking for a friend.

Corporal Funishment {l Wrote}:Recruiting players that have at least one other P5 offer is a minimum expectation, not an accomplishment

As it should be but you are the one who made the comparison of classes all being around 60th when the fact of the matter is a bunch of Daz’s classes didn’t have a majority of players with other P5 offers. Hence the pointing out that rankings mean nothing this cycle.

Recruiting rankings are always dumb. BC might land one 4 star over a UF or Alabama, etc. But if 6 guys originally destined to become 4 stars all chose BC, the basement weirdos are automatically going to assume they were wrong in their assessment. The assumed destination drives the rating, particularly when you get down to the level in the ranking where BC is traditionally looking, and the basement dwellers have watched the same grainy tape on Hudl that we all watch.

If BC lands guys in the top 200 on any of these lists, fine, they are probably very good. But they also will have multiple offers from big time schools, which is why they are ranked that high. After 200, blind darts from the basement means nothing.

If you think this class is materially different than the ones we've had before, then more power to you. Looks about the same to me.

P5 Offers for commits:
2014: 14/28
2015: 14/25
2016: 11/19
2017: 12/21
2018: 10/20
2019: 16/19
2020: 12/13
2021: 15/17

Yeah I’d say it’s pretty different considering they’ve already got more commits with P5 offers, and a lot more coming, then any of the classes in 14-18 in a smaller class.
