tough grader. So close to a big fat F in every category.

LB C Once again this would be a failing grade with out in-state 5* Tre Williams.


so one five start = C... so would three five stars then = A?

you're grading is strange and slighting ridiculous... i'll give you TE, but you're way off on OL and WR.

He's probably grading WR that way because of longevity. Dhaquille is only going to be around for a year. Would have been nice to pick up another freshman but it's hard to complain about our WR class.

Not really when you look at teams like FSU signing

Ermone Lane

and

Travis Rudolph


Bama signing a 5* and 2 4* WRs

As a whole this "wr" class is not A+

The OP said evaluate the class, not compare it to other classes.

Stanton Truitt is going to be a killer in our offense and is a concensus 4 star player... couple that with a 1st rounder in DQ, and it deserves a better ranking.

would it have been nice to land rudoulph or another high end HS WR?... of course, but that's not where we are offensively right now.

i think i gave WR a A- on the other board.... which i think is pretty fair... I could agree that it might be lower b/c of DQ's likely one and done.

Ok then Daq WIlliams is great but he'll be gone after next year and we'll be left with stone hands

and signing 1 4 star OL and 1 JUCO 3 star OL does not get our OL class a B grade.

My rankings are justified

we signed THE BEST guard prospect in the nation... and some are saying he's the best OL prospect regardless of position... we also signed a solid JUCO center with three years of eligibility at a position of need.

sure, the quantity isn't high, but it doesn't need to be yet... we've got a ton of OL on scholarship(lost only one guy this year in Grob).

C'mon! I was waiting for him to realize that we did not need OL in this class.

You have to look at needs. Just because we didn't sign a bunch doesn't mean the class should be ranked low. If we got a quality HS Center then it would've been an A.

It's pretty useless ranking a class without looking at the teams needs.

I would say add the wr class to what we currently have and it will get us just fine through this year and will showcase an ability to make plays in the passing game unlike last year that didn't really do that. Florida state got those wr's because of Kelvin Benjamin and crew and having Winston to throw to them. Lb is really no different. Having holland as a mlb for three years hasn't really helped our cause but hopefully with a core like mckinzy,frost,Williams, that can change some perception down the road. Also with moncriefs size could he not play lb or star?

This is the highest rated class since 2002 using Rivals star average. We averaged 3.65...never been higher than 3.63.

This is one the highest quality classes AU has had in a decade.

Looks like it's the highest quality class we've had since at least 2011 on 247 too

Here's my reaction goes to Bama and either:
A) doesn't like and moves home
B) turns into a punk and gets let go
C) random craziness

Now you may be saying hey that's not a nice thing to say, but think about how many high profile guys end up being super egos and transfers or gets into trouble. Dyer as an example.

We signed a great class. Filled needs with quality players. Missing on Evans sucks. After hearing from some guys who know what they are talking about, Evans just flat out lied to our staff. You are either with us or against us........so frack him.
