So the reverse Wake Forest effect? He committetd, THEN, went up to a 4 star.
For the most part agree, I would argue that rankings don't really matter outside of the top 300/400.
It's very Wake Forest (or every fanbase) to complain about something, but I wouldn't complain about the players ratings under Clawson.
The biggest concern I have had under Clawson since the day he was our coach was "can he recruit defense?" He clearly knows how to recruit to his offense but the jury is still out on defense. Grobe could recruit defense and after his players matriculated, our defense went down. Elko was a beast, but even his defenses were mostly Grobe's guys. Obviously last year was freaky with injuries and such but will be interested to see if the defense can turn the corner.
