re: Non-LSU related, Georgia is having a very strange recruiting year

Sure, but the claim is UGA is better at developing 3 stars than other people, not that they also develop all their 4 and 5 stars. You're also taking fewer 3 stars though so the sample size is smaller.

True. My point was that if we are taking 4* and 5* that should be 3* then we are obviously developing them, as well.

I just don't think of it as an either/or situation. It's a matter of scouting and getting some undervalued players and then developing all of your players.

Like I said, make an all-star team of nothing but 5* and they will probably get blown out by a playoff caliber team. Why? because those players get developed after they enter college.

I probably shouldn't have inserted myself into this conversation. It is way too subjective and opinion based. But we have had a couple of walk ons and at least one 2 * player that played for us in the playoffs and National Championship game. That's pretty darn amazing in my book.

But, then you get into the chicken or the egg argument. Was it because they were under ranked, or they were developed? The truth is...probably a bit of both. The one I would probably dig my heels in on is Stetson Bennett. The progress he showed over the years was astounding. Look at his stats from year to year and you will see a night and day difference from early years until his junior and senior years.
