Yeah, I've seen that. But what I haven't seen is the trend year over year. My feel is that Chan's classes were getting better, and I'm not sure that the same can be said about CPJ's classes. But maybe I'm wrong?

I don't disagree. Not defending Chan. I am concerned about our ability to recruit the players that we'll need to compete though. How can one not be concerned about this?

We recruited Vad Lee, though.

A passing QB that wasn't highly recruited outside the ACC? And he has no experience running the option. I'm assuming that your post is TIC because I think I'd rather have a QB that has experience running the option.

Point taken (and honestly I have no idea one way or the other). But, as ThisIsAtlanta commented, we did get Vad Lee. So is there really anywhere to go but down?

Look at the hubris of this guy Barnhart... calling himself "Mr. CFB".

I'm surprised that there hasn't been as much hype about Thomas, he was rated higher by Rivals than Vad.

Same, but Vad has to play before we can call for him to be benched in favor of Thomas, right?

If not, I'll start the Fire Vad Lee campaign right now.
