Notre Dame stopped getting all of those great recruiting classes....oh wait....no they didnt you are a dumbass, my mistake.



They've had 4 top 10 classes in the last 10 years, and they've also had some pretty frickin bad classes as well you fricking shithead.

If 17 and 18 year olds cared only about history than Bama, ND, and Michigan would have the top 3 classes every single year.

I totally agree with Coach Richt. We have to remember when it comes down to it these are kids trying to play football and get an education. Its not fair to them for any coach to sign them and then say we dont need you at this time. Any coach who does that does not have the kids interests in mind.

I remember it was last season I think where Richt had offered a kid out of Columbus, GA. The kid was ready to commit...like middle of the season or before season started. When he tried, Richt pulled the offer for another kid he was interested in. You want to talk about one pissed off kid and coach. They were all on the news saying Richt was never welcomed at that school to recruit again. But I guess he didn't need him.

I got news for you, kids today don't care who won a national title in the 1940s. High school kids were just born when bama won a title up until their one in '09. High school juniors that year had seen bama win all of 1 SEC title in their lives. High school kids right now have seen Georgia win multiple SEC titles and BCS bowls in their lives.


So since 1992, the year the SEC championship game started, Georgia has won 2 SEC championships and Alabama has won 3; Georgia has won 0 national championships and Alabama has won 2.

Completely inaccurate. He wanted to commit as a QB and he was told they were not taking a QB in that class. He was offered as a WR but wanted to come in as a QB. His offer was never pulled. Things got patched up pretty quickly considering we signed 2 kids from that school this year.

FAAAAAALLLLLLSSSSSSEEEEEEEE. Please be informed before you spread an over year old rumor.


We told Burns we weren't going to take a QB because (at the time) we weren't. Things fell through with some other recruits, so we ended up re-offering him and bring him up to apologize and offer in person. He still chose to go elsewhere and instead of a project athlete we ended up getting a QB who set state of GA records. I'd say we ended up ok there.

Use some of your brain cells. Please.

Bama's classes have been good recently because THEY HAVE RECENTLY BEEN GOOD. Ya know, winning a title and all will do that.

What have ND and Michigan's last 3 classes been? My post that you quoted was:

I have said at least twice, and once was bolded, what my point was. If you still can't follow along with it then I'm not going to respond to you anymore.

Two NCs in the last 32 years is not typical.

What about Zach Witchett?
I ask because I really don't know.
quote:

“He’s disappointed it didn’t work out with Georgia and then some other D1 school after that … but life goes on,” Washington coach Stanley Pritchett said. “Zack has got to move on and work hard. Hopefully, he can get back to that D1 level in a couple of years.” Less than a month ago, Witchett thought he was headed to Georgia, the school he committed to last summer. However, UGA assistant Tony Ball called Witchett and his coach on Jan. 5 to inform him that the football scholarship was being revoked due to off-the-field issues. That was the last contact with Georgia.

Pritchett said was he surprised by the timing of UGA’s decision, less than a month away from signing date. Prichett declined into the specific details about UGA’s concerns due to privacy laws, but said he was unaware of any new issues involving Witchett since November.

Talk about waiting until the last minute.

He was kicked off his high school team twice. A good thing his offer was pulled.

Witchett had had a couple of off field incidents earlier in the year (like your quote states) and we made the decision that it would be best if we parted ways.

This is from a rivals article:

"I kind of expected something might happen, and I have no hard feelings towards Georgia. They are my in home state and I will always love them," said Witchett

Same reason we pulled Goodwin and that other troublemaker WR who I can't recall's offers. Looking back it's a great thing we did.

Ambles I believe. I dont think we ever offered him though. I remember everyone on the Rivals board bitching about us not offering him at the time.

Alabama signed the #1 ranked class in the country coming off a 7-6 season when they hadn't won a NC since 1992.

You do know he's pointing to the right, right?

ETA: Surely you do, I've never seen it before. I was puzzled when I first seen it.
