    Well to be fair what kind of line will he be playing behind when he gets drafted

    Guess that all depends on who leaves. I'd imagine at some point NIL will start affecting the decisions of these kids who'll start thinking whether it's even financially smart to leave early. In some cases I'd imagine a player could pull in equal or greater "NIL" vs what they would get if drafted mid to late rounds.

    I think it’s more like 16-19.

    I think people have been overstating the number of high school recruits we will take this year. CBN's retention rate has been much higher than a lot of our rivals, but fans want to see that higher number of recruits for higher ranked classes like our rivals. We seem to be where Clemson had been a few years back, while the fans want where Bama was a few years ago, which just may be a difference in recruiting and development philosophy. This could be a hard class to fill, but I think that is overstated.

    Except the tendency will be to replace attrition with another portal player to maintain class balance

    I think the Clemson model is a great comparison to our approach with HIGH SCHOOL recruiting. We will get some studs and fill out with COMPLIMENTARY 3-4 stars like Clemson always has. Hope Lagway is our Watson to kick it all off.

    only issue is that is good enough for the ACC, but is it good enough for the SEC- when the sec is as good as it’s ever been?

    The only thing I am a little concerned about wulith the approach is that so far we have not gotten the lines as stacked with high level talent as Clemson did, particularly DL.

    We have 18 SR's this season, so with another 7 leaving for one reason or another, we'll be at 25.

    Between HS and transfer, my guess is we'll be well north of 25 new players again.

    This was specific to high school recruits....yes the addition of portal players will put the numbers into the 20s for new additions as I stated in my post above this morning

    Probably need 2 DT and 1 QB from the portal at minimum plus need a scholarship for Cormani potentially, and CBN has retained players well from high school, so we will be nowhere near 25 in high school recruiting.
