If there is someone on this board that is so smart, that they can say that the following states: GA, TX, CA, LA, FL are better than the other, then they have to be the best talent evaluator on the planet.
That statement is pretty much a "Lets punt" in a discussion.
You can look at the type of top tier talent each produces.
Tx is mainly QBs, WRs, and RBs.
Florida is RBs, WRs, TEs, Oline, Defensive players
LA is RBs, WRs, Defensive players.
CA is QBs, WRs, RBs, DBs.
GA is WRs, RBs, DBs, LBs.
It has to do with the style of play in each state, Tx is mainly 7 on 7 spread type, CA, FL, LA, and GA play more of a pro style.
If you look at what Arkansas produces consistently it would be RBs and Oline, with the popularity of the spread, you haven't seen an increase in WRs and QBs from the state like you would expect. Defensive prospects are mainly d line.

Let's let this thread die. It was a decent class. Filled the holes added quality linemen that will both play and add depth. Brought in some guys that will grow into the right size/speed needed in the SEC. We whiffed on the top end guys. In state was a pretty bad class. Frazier hurt, but not as bad as it could've because he had a bad year and he'd never live up to the hype here. He'll ride pine in Bama but may still get drafted based on size and potential alone.
Having basically all 3 stars is the bottom of where we need to be. 5 stars are destined for super stardom. 4 stars are Championship winning level. 3 stars keep you competitive but might not get you over the hump.

been out sick so I didn't get to chime in on the class as it was happening yesterday but I was watching.
I don't see a ton of star power in this class. Peavey and Robinson may be the exceptions. I think Jackson is probably the best D-Line prospect we've signed in a long time. I like the NUMBER of LB's we signed but I worry they are all projects and will take time to contribute. I think we had a solid defensive backfield class but would have liked to have seen a big time Safety. We got better at O Line and that's very important in the SEC. I think we addressed depth at WR and I like the size we added there.
Didn't really add much at TE ( I expected to sign 3)
Hedlund seems to be as good a HS kicker as you could hope for.
Overall I think this is a good class. B-
Could have been B+ or A- if we had gotten one or both of the Stud DE's.
