So how do we judge a recruiting class in the modern era of recruiting? Most often we use composite star rankings and class rankings to determine the value of a class. Stars do matter, but they don’t tell the entire story. I’m continuing a longstanding tradition here at STS to evaluate recruiting classes not simply by star rankings but also digging into the actual roster and seeing if our needs are met. This is easily the most talented class of the Dabo Swinney era (and arguably in the history of Clemson football). But roster management and recruiting go hand in hand.
