    It’s important to note that under Petersen we will likely always have smaller classes. That has its pros and cons, but realistically it puts at a pretty big competitive disadvantage when many of the top 10 classes will sign 23-27 players each year and we’ll be closer to 20-22.

    Signing 3-4 more players just gives you that much better odds of players panning out while at the same time churning over the bottom of your roster suddenly senioring guys or suggesting transfers. Not everybody does it, but lots of the big boys do.

    Thought it was worth bringing up cause every year someone brings up “if we signed up as many players and so and so are classes would be ranked the same.”

    It's the lesser of two evils for Pete.

    "honor and integrity" versus "whatever it takes"

    given his (lack of) apparent coffee cup stance, it is what it is.

    We have to live with it and deal with the ongoing high blood pressure TBS'ing.

    Other than Clemson those teams are notable for being in decline

    Ohio State lost the best recruiter in the game

    Other than Clemson every program in the country is in decline.
