Wasn’t Weigman a five star by some services?

Coming out of hs, he was the 3rd best qb I’ve seen live behind VY & Luck

So in other words, kfd should have said that we have one FIVE star, NOT four star equivalent, coming out of the transfer portal.

How do you continue to be so poor at reading comprehension?

I’m not.

You said we had one four star equivalent.

In fact, we had one FIVE star equivalent.

Correcting you doesn’t constitute a reading comprehension problem on my part.

It simply constitutes a mistake on your part.

I think he’s talking about their On3 portal ranking. Weigman was rated at 98 and a five star out of high school. His transfer ranking, listed in the chart above, is 91.

Fair enough.

I think most services had him as a 5 star

On3 is an anomaly in that regard.

On3 also had him as a five-star out of high school. His transfer portal ranking is 91.

But KFD has a point. I used to be pretty wrapped up in rankings, and sure I would be thrilled to sign 20 four and five star guys every year. But I now consider the ratings to be a little . . . overrated. The really top recruits generally turn out to be good players, but after them it’s something of a crap shoot.

Tech is always ‘good’ on paper- then they kick it off. LOL!

Here’s the thing.

I agree that Tech cleaned up in the portal. Probably no other school did better in that regard.

But by bringing in one of the highest rated QB transfer recruits, we certainly made good use of the transfer portal as well.

Can our OL keep him upright and healthy that is the key to the season.

The difference between this year’s o line and the one’s in recent history is competition. The cream will rise to the top and our offense will be better for it.

Looks like Fiesta is 10-12th and the Spring Game is at 10am on the 19th which is also Easter weekend.
