but I just can't believe that Dabo is THAT good of a recruiter.


I think we went over this last month but Dabo is just that good. He's probably the best salesmen in the business. I've been disappointed with our "stud" recruiters D. Craig and RG

You're disappointed in Carl Lawson, Montravius Adams, Elijah Daniels, Tre Williams, Nate Craig-Myers, Duke Williams, Nick Ruffin, Justin Thorton, Darius Slayton, Jason Smith, Stanton Truitt, Marcus Davis, Prince Tega, Dontavius Russell, Jordan Colbert, Devonte Lambert, Andrew Williams and so forth?

I had to stop naming recruits. Literally. There are so many good ones.

You are disappointed with that?!

D. Craig and RG



DCraig has consistently brought in top talent for us.


I didn't think anyone was under the impression that Rodney Garner is the elite recruiter he was in the 90s/Early 2000s. He is solid but not the "closer" he used to be

I'm disappointed we missed on:

Kirk Merritt
Christian Kirk
Preston Williams
George Cambell
John Burt
Jayson Stanley
Trent Thompson
Daylon Mack
Daron Payne
Ledbetter
Ballimore
Norton



3* wr's and juco dts don't exactly live up to D. Craigs and RG's rep as stud recruiters

you realize we can only sign like 25 a class right?...

there is literally zero reason to be disappointed in our concensus top 10 class, especially when you consider the turnover with our defensive staff.

we have two of the best recruiters in the business in Craig and Robinson... both of which are at the peak of their recruiting abilities right now.

Pump sunshine all you want but were supposed to have the "best recruiters in the league" and Muschamp just saved our arse to get us a top 10 class

what's your point?... we lost 4 of our last 5 and fired half our coaching staff... be happy we salvaged a deep and talented class.

DCraig doesn't get pidgeon holed to just WRs bro. Also, our WR recruiting has been almost always 4* guys



Your list basically is "Hey I'm mad that some instate kid went ot the dominant instate schools like UGA, FSU, TAMU, Bama etc"


You are being ridiculous

you're confusing Thorton with Kennion (who was a cincy commit)... JT was leaning to UF before DC locked him down.

yeah, i know it's an act... to not give credit to for signing colbert is just unreal... one of the best safety prospects in the southeast.

you could win an SEC championship with the "2nd best" at each position from a state like GA.

Justin Thornton was a top 150 player who we beat out LSU for

quote:

Prince Tega



Beat out LSU and if you read the Alabama board, they wanted him bad but his reclassification made it impossible to fit in their class so they didn't offer a clear AU lock

Jordan Colbert,


Widely regarded as underrated after his UA AA performance

That is what happens when you aren't the major institution in any state you heavily recruit out of for talent

My point was we missed on our top target. Just like we did at WR and DT. Craig and RG may be bringing in decent talent but they're missing wildly on the big names.
