But Wait, It Gets Better!!

Miami has the No. 15 ranked class nationally and the No. 3 ranked class in the ACC. However, their “high” ranking has more to do with quantity than quality.

That’s become the norm for Miami recruiting over the last decade by the way.

Miami’s class consists of 30 percent blue chip players. Which means they have six four-star recruits and the rest three-star or below.

In contrast, FSU football has 45 percent of their class as blue chip. FSU has three five-star recruits and seven four-star recruits. They also have two recruits that are not rated, a long snapper and a cornerback.

Not to mention FSU is still in the mix for several high profile recruits like five-star Marvin Wilson, four-star Henry Ruggs, four-star Maleik Gray, four-star Jarez Parks and four-star Devonta Smith.
