We all understand the importance of stacking talent for championship purposes. With '22's NSD1 out of the way, I thought it would be interesting to look at the '22 & '23 High School Classes combined (by position). Understanding that we did very well in the Portal last year... and the angst expressed about Rivals' Rankings (4 Star LT Banks)... I'm sticking to H.S. signings only + no change in position (example Akana might move to WDE) + sticking with final Rivals Ranking. To me, 2024 is all about filling needs at DT, DB & TE. To a lesser degree WR & RB. Here is what I found:
Offense:
Offensive Line: 12 Total Signings (Avg. 6'5" & 316lbs... thanks CJ Vogel). Status looking real nice!
Defense:
Defensive Ends: 6 Total Signings. Status looking real nice! Colin Simmons would fit in nicely as a 6.1 Five Star.
