Ben Davis and Terrell Hall would bring us up to 273.02 on the class calculator. That would put us 2nd behind LSU right now.

Of course, other teams are going to add more players as will we.

273.02 would have been good enough for a tenth place finish last year.

If you add in reasonable pickups like Coe, Carter, Gavin, and Joseph, with Hall and Davis, that would put us at 287.55, which would have been good enough for third place last year and fourth place in 2014.

“Jacob (Eason) and I are talking a lot lately,” Robertson said. “I talk a lot to Julian Rochester as well, but Jacob is recruiting me very well right now to join him at Georgia.”

“He just tells me that we should both come to Georgia and we can ball together,” Robertson said. “He said I can be his No. 1 target and stuff like that.”

“It influences me a lot,” Robertson said. “Just being around them and trying to see how they are. It is not just about going to the college and being around the coaches. You have to be around those guys. Your teammates. I really know those guys well and that’s a big thing. Getting to know all those guys is a big step for me as well.”

I gotta say I'm a little disappointed that our QB wasn't more of a recruiting factor this year as the two previous years (Cornwell and Barnett).

FOUR-STAR OL SCHEDULES ANOTHER VISIT

What was expected to be a battle between Clemson and South Carolina for four-star G John Simpson of North Charleston (S.C.) Fort Dorchester now appears to be at least a three-team race, with Alabama and Florida also involved. Simpson — who attended the same high school as former Gators DE Carlos Dunlap — will visit the Gators on the weekend of January 15. He will visit Clemson on the weekend of the 22nd and Alabama on the 29th, which is the final visit weekend. He already has visited LSU.

Writing an article about this, but how's this for a statistic:

For the 2015 class, there were 146 decommitments from Jan. 7 to signing day

I agree, we haven't had a leader in this class. It's like everyone is wanting to play games instead of asserting themselves as a leader. It's disappointing.

Why does the qb have to be the leader? I doubt anything they say really matters anyway unless you are a big time recruit.

It doesn't have to be a QB, I never said that, but it was nice when Cornwell and Barnett were the outspoken recruiters. Brown was also a huge leader in the class last year and he wasn't a qb.

Quinnen Williams has been beating the BAMA drum also. Jalen got here early and playing D Watson role helping our D. Tbh this year's class would be hard to recruit regardless. Kudos for the coaching staff realizing this and going after 3 star kids that fit Bamas mentality

Didn't someone on here basically guarantee, that he was coming to Bama?

That might've been 3714.

I thought we had a chance until all of his legal troubles came up.

Don't think I ever guaranteed it. That would be stupid to do when it comes to 17-18 year old's decisions. Everything changed, as expected, after his off-field stuff. As I've also mentioned before, there are concerns about him being a true RB, especially with his weight ballooning.
