Is this the worst class of the last 20 years?

    Sarks first class had an average rating of .814. It was epically bad. This class is .857. Trufant and Price were really the only players from the 2009 class that made a positive impact. Most burned out before ever seeing the field. This class will have more than two contribute positively to winning. I’m certain of it.

    That is a pretty big difference. But I did read somewhere that recruiting scores have been gradually inflated since Sark's first year. Many more 3-5 star players now than there were over 10 years ago. Am I wrong?
    Everyone is a three star. It’s hard to sign a guy that isn’t 3 star now.

    Here is Sark's full class and Scout's ranking



    Batts
    Fellner
    Barnett
    Crichton
    Tucker
    Trufant
    Tivao
    Mafoe
    Shamburger
    Tokolahi
    Makaula
    Pulu
    Gaisie
    Mahan
    Boyce
    Wallace
    Robinson (Chris not Nate)
    Price
    Johnson

    I recognize Cricton, Trufant, Shamburger, Pulu, Price, and Johnson

    Amazing. Thing is that Sark had a lot of time (no early signing date) and was coming from SC, where he should've had ins with a fair number of guys who were willing to consider following him. One wouldve thought there were at least a few feunge guys who SV receuited but didnt wnd up offering.

    There was no excuse. He simply didn't recruit.
    Not to defend Sark but we went 0-12. That doesn’t make it easy to recruit.
    You have no idea of the damage


    In this case it's true

    True.

    2012 and definitely 2013 were also damning statements on Sarks recruiting at UW.

    I imagine we will see weird HS classes for many schools from time to time because of the portal. Not excusing UW this year though

    Willingham's 2005 class was really bad, he went golfing since he was getting paid by both ND and UW. The man practically stole money from UW.

    I thought we had good classes after 2016 but they all sucked. Maybe these kids will turn out to be decent who the fuck knows

    I've tried to listen to all you TBS haters (read: @RoadDawg55) and trust your "forget stars, look who else offered them" rationale. I know DeBoner had a mess to clean, but taking dudes with offers from Grand Valley State and Bucknell and whiffing on Vega is a black mark.

    I know, I know LIPO. What other choice do we have? We're staring up from the bottom of the dumpster.
    The difference between hiring Lincoln and DeBoer is becoming more obvious each day

    Go cheap get cheap

    We have no choice but to hope he can coach them up and coach on gameday

    And hope isn't a strategy

    Good thing we were young at most positions last year. Should have our 2 deeps mostly set for the next couple years... Deboer has a full cupboard to work with which is more than could be said about what Sark had.

    Dawgs have a good year next year we should get back on the recruiting train a bit better.

    Sark had 9 future NFL players on his first roster

    A top-heavy team with very little depth behind the talent.

    Hence my reference to 2 deeps.
