That portal ranking doesn't tell the whole story. Mario Cristobal is stacking elite high school talent, and those croots are buying into the rebuild. You can't just look at average rating when they're landing multiple five-stars who will be day-one starters. Clemson's class is solid, but they aren't pulling the same level of blue-chip athletes on the trail right now. Miami's NIL collective is filling those defensive holes with immediate impact transfers. The future in Coral Gables is ridiculously bright.
