Arkansas - Arkansas State?


Ninja pleeeease. We offered 10 and got 9 of them. No state in the SEC did that well.

"Who won the state of Arkansas?

The Razorbacks. And it wasn’t close. If Bret Bielema wanted a local player, he got him, save for North Little Rock WR K.J. Hill, who’s headed north to Ohio State. It was a banner year for the Hogs inside the state of Arkansas, landing quality on both sides of the ball and a quarterback of the future, four-star standout Ty Storey. This is the type of group that’ll help Bielema off the momentum at the end of last season."

Clemson. The Gamecocks and the Tigers went head-to-head on a bunch of players, with the latter winning most of the battles. Clemson signed twice as many in-state stars as South Carolina, headlined by DT Albert Huggins and QB Kelly Bryant, who could someday be the heir to Deshaun Watson.



No doubt. For almost the entire recruiting cycle Clemson and SC were switching at #3 and #4 per rivals until Spurrier's comments when we had a bunch of players jump ship.

Texas A&M.

Why didn't you just post this? Seems like the reason for the thread. No one cares who won KY, MZ, etc. They care about talent producing states like AL, GA, TX, LA, and FL.

(not a knock on KY or Missouri as they are known to have some talented kids each year, but not the high volume of talent of the other states)

Who won the state of Georgia?

The Dawgs. Georgia’s nationally-ranked recruiting class is built largely in its own backyard. The Bulldogs fended off competition from around the country, amassing a war chest of local blue-chippers, such as five-star DT Trenton Thompson and ATH Terry Godwin. Even better, the Dawgs stockpiled talent on defense, especially up front. Georgia’s most disappointing misses included RB Taj Griffin (Oregon), OT Mitch Hyatt (Clemson), WR Preston Williams (Tennessee) and OG Chuma Edoga (USC).


Given that we didn't want/need Griffin (stopped recruiting very early on) and got arguably better linemen than Hyatt, the only misses would be Williams and Edoga. All things considered, I don't think either are even misses given what we got at those positions.

Isn't hyatt a clemson legacy too? I wouldn't call losing a legacy a "loss". Yeah he's great and would love to have him, but I mean UGA didn't really "lose" someone they had 0% chance with to begin wiht.

Preston is a loser that would've been kicked out before his sophomore season at UGA. Chuma is definitely a whiff, but the silver lining is he's playing on the opposite coast so we'll never see him. So in my mind, ZERO MISSES!!

Stop it fellow Dawgs. You're screwing with the narrative of the knee jerk imbeciles on here who claim we get raped in our own state by numerous teams who come in and cherry pick the best kids.

I doubt their psyches can handle the violent torpedo of truth you're dishing out.

I mean, you DO lose good kids every year. That's not necessarily a knock on UGA as much as it is a compliment to the overall talent that the state of georgia produces each year.

Who won the state of Tennessee?

Tennessee. Consistent with the 2015 recruiting class as a whole, the Volunteers dominated the Volunteer State. UT absolutely loaded up on potential building blocks of the future, including the state’s two five-star gems, OT Drew Richmond and DE Kyle Phillips. There were a few that got away from Butch Jones, like WR Van Jefferson (Ole Miss) and S Rico McGraw (Georgia), but this is still the type of class on which a turnaround can be constructed in Knoxville.

Can't it be both? Why settle for least satisfying result when both work?
