The Coastal is improving at a very high rate. It’s pretty awesome to see. Mack is recruiting so well at UNC, especially at the QB position. Miami is definitely better in year 2 under Diaz, and they are going to sign a top 15 class. Virginia Tech is a good team under Fuente, I just wish it reflected more in recruiting. Bronco has UVA on an upward trajectory. Narduzzi has turned Pitt into a consistent program, with a really good defense. Geoff Collins is recruiting very well at GT, and will probably hit on some impactful transfer players. Those 6 programs are all trending up at this point.
The Atlantic, meanwhile, is just awful. FSU has such a long rebuild ahead of them, and I don’t know how much time they’ll give Norvell. Louisville appeared to be on an upward trajectory under Satterfield, but they will fall to 1-4 next week. The Jeff Hafley hire at Boston College is looking pretty good. NC State probably won’t become a consistent top 25 program under Doeren. Clawson has probably peaked at Wake. Dino just can’t recruit well enough to make Syracuse competitive on a yearly basis. The 2nd spot in the division is up for grabs. It just feels bad at this point in hoping that BC takes it.
