8 this year.


Next year if everything goes according to plan it will be a 15 off the charts.

I think you'll change your tune come this fall.

5. Addressed the oline. Addressed lb need. Have taken only one d tacle in the last two cycles and only got that one because uga didnt want him. (Still glad to have him) Needed an impact corner and completely swung and missed. Had one but uga flipped him. We have clowney and cant seem to parleigh his success into getting another impact rush end, again. Too many projects, not enough studs.


Not that I totally disagree with you but I would have to rate the class a 7.

We enrolled two key players to take part in Spring drills including Ronnie Martin at CB.

We signed a helluva LB class, maybe top 3 or 4.

We signed a helluva OL class that appears to be one of the better ones in the country, but I never pay attention to those big uglies until they are Sophs.

We gotta a heckuva QB and a heckuva RB.

We got the one good DT who will make UGA pay for dissing him, plus we got three good looking young DE prospects.

We did not need WRs so we did not sign WRs.

And man oh man I'm lovin' Pharoh Cooper and Ali Groves, both of whom could be special - who knows. Jasper Sasser is another Athlete signee - and given the history of our coaches signing Athletes to place where they fit - this may have been the most impressive group signed in this class.

Remember, we were penalized two schollies think year and next so let's make the most of it. Only the classes heavy on the skill players are usually highly ranked.

Strong 8

I am really impressed what the staff did in short order. Also for team that was 3-9. I wanted Enzie Alexander and RF. truth be to.d it should be a 9 since RF was not coming to Auburn once Trooper was fired.

QB's, WRs, and DE's I can live with, but lost out on Bell and could have used some more DTs, OL, and LBs. I think we got a sleeper in RB Jabo Lee. Dude was a stud before getting hurt his senior year.

10! Sure we lost Daniel and didn't get Jones, but if any OM fan doesn't say 10 they're crazy!

Would've been 10 if we landed Willis. Safety is the only missing piece.

4. Pretty bad class. Not finishing in the top 20 at Tennessee is inexcusable no matter the circumstances. 2008 is the only class close to this level of shitiness on paper in recent memory.

9.9. If this class contributes to gaining access to SoFla talent, then I'll bump it up to about a 30.

All the OM fans not saying 10 are living in a land of delusion. Y'all have an incredible class coming off a mediocre 7-6 season.

Eta: my ranking for Bama = 10. We stacked, as usual.

8.5. We took 8 db's and added depth everywhere. Only misses were Tunsil and Kamara. The whole "missing on GA boys" is blown way out of proportion. Solid class and im pumped.

lulz

Not laughing at your class, just laughing at you with no disrespect intended. Laughing because I know a couple other Vol fans who would agree with you and buy you a beer right now.

As awesome as our class was for us it wasn't perfect when you just look at needs. We wanted to sign at least 1 more defensive lineman. We had 4 of them flip (Reed, Daniel, Cummings, Middleton).

9.9

8 - Great class, but I would trade one of the four running backs for an elite tackle if I had the chance.

I will 9.5 just because we have known about Griffin for months and we are still stacked at WR in this class. But having him sign would have been the icing on the cake.

LSU gets a 9.5. Got everyone we wanted in state and some serious talent from out of state.
