FSU football: Grading 2018 recruiting class in retrospect
By Kelvin Hunt
Final Thoughts
On paper, Willie Taggart did a masterful job bringing the program from the 60s ranking to No. 11. However, at the same time, this class is a great illustration of why player development is paramount.
It also demonstrates, just because a class is highly ranked doesn’t mean it’s a good class. There wasn’t a quarterback in this class(I blame Jimbo Fisher for that, not Taggart).
Over 60 percent of the class never contributed or already left the program? There was some bad luck injury there, but overall it’s a poor job of developing the talent once it’s on campus.

There are probably three or four out of 21 players signed who will get drafted by an NFL team. That’s amazing for a class ranked so highly and with so many blue-chip players.
I’d have to give this recruiting class a massive D based on how much talent was wasted. The only reason I didn’t give an F is that it was a transition class.
