I think JRowland does an excellent job, but some of his commentary seems to be just propping up the BC athletic department's party line. For years we have heard that we are finding under the radar gems. The on field results don't seem to mesh with that storyline. In particular, this sentence pushed me over the edge to post, it is regarding our recent commitment from Brandon Sebastian:
"I know the rankings aren't going to reflect this, but my own personal opinion is that player for player the Eagles have a really quality class shaping up for 2017, and it's one I know the staff feels especially good about."
I'm not blaming the messenger (JRowland), but i'm growing tired of the same old explanations for sub par (near bottom of the ACC) recruiting classes. When the staff "feels great" about a recruit, I can't help but think about a person at a job who is allowed to give their own performance review, and set their own compensation increase. Would we expect them to *not* feel great about a recruit? Do they not feel great or good about the rest of their recruits?
Bottom line, It should go without saying that the staff feels good or great about a recruit they offer. "Feeling good" about a recruit should be a baseline requirement for anyone with an offer, it shouldn't be a special thing to brag about.
