    This kid's offer list is more in line with the players we were taking during the 2014-2016 stretch. At this point Princely is a longshot so I guess he's our last option. Better than getting no one I suppose.

    Dude we signed gains, vita, and Levi during those periods. Those were good years
    True, but I don't think this board would be that excited today if we signed 3* Gaines or Vita.
    Vita was originally a 4* but dropped in the rankings due to grades. Given his tape, everyone knew he was a steal.
    Yeah, his highlight video was posted here when he arrived and everyone was in agreement that he was really good. He still turned out even better than expected.

    Disagree. Anyone could see how good Gaines already was as a high schooler, and Vea just looked like a huge, freaky athlete. We're all schooled enough at tbsing here to recognize the qualities they had.

    I remember people excited for Vita. I also remember people thinking Gaines looked really goofy.

    Two of those three wouldn’t have gotten a sniff from Pete in later years.

    Vita signed because of need. Obviously he had the talent, but Pete wouldn’t have recruited him because of grades.

    Someone here called Gaines the best player in his recruiting class. He was pretty close to being right.

    The goofy looks were part of the package.

    If we recruited the Hail Mary that was Ali Gaye I am sure they would have recruited Vita on a year nobody wants to come here. We take years off recruiting the DLine and then have to sign everyone. We should stop that.
