Evaluate our recruiting class.

My main concern when we hired Gus was recruiting. I thought we would drop off. But after this class, I think we actually improved. Filled all our needs with this class.
QB: A
Love Sean White. Deadly Accurate.
RB: A
Not much of a need here. Got Roc Thomas who will be a stud. Add in Kamryn Pettway and I have no complaints.
WR: B+
Could've done better. Got D'haquille who will be a instant impact and probably one and done. Truitt is a quality pick up too. We're pretty full already on WRs. Would've preferred one high rated guy.
TE: B
Would've liked an elite guy. Jakell Mitchell and Chris Laye aren't too shabby though.
OL: B-
Only need was a center. Filled that spot with an average JUCO player. Also got a big commitment from Braden though.
DL: A
Mix of high rated JUCO and HS guys. Very happy here.
LB: B+
Tre Williams was a huge pickup for us. We need quality LBs bad. Deshaun Davis is solid but I really wanted Evans.
CB: A+
Definite position of need. Got two highly rated guys in Ruffin and Bessent.
S: A+
Moncrief should be an immediate contributor. Roberts will be a good player for us back there too. Boston has potential.

Filled all of our needs pretty much perfectly. The balance in the class is nice.
Would have been nice(greedy maybe) to get a top HS WR, Evans and maybe a another top HS DT.

IMO, we addressed every need of the team with highly rated players. It is hard for me to imagine that we can do any better than we did. Very impressed and excited about next season.

Tickled to death.

I believe the coaches filled out the needs of the team very nicely. We have a great class coming in from top to bottom. I am quite please with our recruiting this year.

Really a great class.
Still pissed about Evans, but partly because frick the gumps.
Pretty happy with the class though if I ignore the gumps getting Evans and just consider the class as it is.
We end up a composite #6, almost tied with AtM for the #5 spot.

We did great! Missed Evans, but I think we filled our needs well and I'm so pumped to see how S&C turn these guys into beasts.

Excellent class that fills some of our holes! Great group of kids! Can't wait until spring practice!

Biggest Haul- Braden Smith
Braden Smith was a wall against the top competition at the Under Armour All American game and has an unbelievable frame. His frame reminds me of Tyron Smith from USC/Cowboys in that he is all muscle at 300 pounds.
Highest Rated Forgotten Player - Justin Thorton
We never talk about Thorton but this kid is a freak. Once he puts serious weight on him, he is going to be incredible
Starting from the bottom now we here - Rasheed Kennion
For some reason since I saw his film I have thought about Dion Jordon. I saw Dion Jordon play in HS and they are similar. His frame can easily hold some weight and will take a few years but this kid's potential is through the roof
The guy that will bring us to greater heights
Sean White.

Losing Evans to Bama stings, but Williams and Smith were huge gets today, and the rest of the class fills needs across the board. Hard to argue with that!

As long as we keep the OL and RBs flowing, I'm happy. Wouldn't have minded seeing an H-back type for flavor (probably not necessary with Parks coming back) but I give this class an A.
Evans is the + I'm leaving off.

Love every recruit that signed with Auburn and think it is a very balanced class.
Could have used Evans as a safety (STAR), but we flipped 2 DBS from Bama.
we got our number 1 LB recruit, our top RB, top lineman, and on down the list.
Love the class.

QB A Sean White is vastly underrated according to many national guys. He's a 5* talent
RB B We were able to sign a in-stage 5 star but didn't add much depth. Pettway could easily move to H-back given his size.
WR C The only reason I didn't grade this as a F is because we signed the best WR in the nation.
TE C Mitchell has a high ceiling, but is overshadowed in the class due to his injury. Laye is a project.
OL C We needed a center and let him slip away to Bama. Braden Smith kept this category from being a big fat F
DL A+ We added good size and toughness on the interior and a highly rated DE that can play inside or out.
LB C Once again this would be a failing grade with out in-state 5* Tre Williams.
CB / S A+ The late addition of Roberts and Bessent boosted our DB class to an A+.

What would it've taken for you to grade it an A?... signing Jerry Rice?
that's a retarded statement.
eta: actually, your entire grading is retarded.
