The reason I posted this was because we are always labeled doing less with more by their fans and other fans. But if you look at the early 2000s they have some really good classes but nothing to so for it. I know we had several 5 star guys late but it's more about the star average that stinks out. We are really starting to separate ourselves if we can keep it up. And they also seem to take a few more players than us a year but that isn't a shocker. I was shocked when I saw them having several 5 star guys in the early 2000s, don't remember a lot of them.
2011 class I really wish at worst had went 2-2 against them
