Maybe I read it wrong, but according to the depth chart Piccou is a junior. Maybe things have changed from when I was in school, but I thought a Junior was in his 3rd year. I hope we get some "real fruit" from Taylor, Cryer, and Dagunduro as they don't have any time after this year left.
When you take your number 3 and 4 highest according to rivals recruits and they leave, I'm guessing your ranking falls just a tad bit with it. In the beginning, we got a new coach because recruiting was terrible. Now, it's 4 and 5 stars really don't mean much. Where's our talent going? It's leaving the team and going elsewhere. We follow up the 05 recruiting class with #20? This is definitely showing the train is back on track. :sarcasm
If lack of talent is really the reason for our falling out, I think somethig better than 20 is definitely going to have to be reached every year. In 2002 of the top 10 teams according to rivals for recruiting, only 3 of those teams are ranked in the college football top 10 in 2006. Miami who had the 4th best recruiting class in 2002 isn't even in college football's top 25. West Virginia is ranked number 4 and yet they had the 33rd ranked recruiting class.
I never said great recruits equates to winning. This is all that was flying around 3 years ago. I just want to know where are they now? I'm guess Miami is asking the same questions.
