re: 2018 Recruiting Thread: Sprint to NSD.

I'm with you, and I've told most people on most sites (including this one) to tell your friends and family to leave recruits alone after all the Corral shite -- but you definitely say that a fan base of a school you're interested in should be included in the ''worst'' of a picture. It's just bad optics.

I think he'd be a great player, but I just get this feeling that he's leaning toward Alabama and less toward Florida, the start of a good relationship doesn't begin with you telling the fans just had bad they are (no matter how true it is).

Also, and off-topic: Some of the other posters are getting regularly trolled by some UGA posters and multiple ''is there anyone at the gates?'' posts go up every week -- is there any way you could review (pretty please) some of the recent UGA posters?

60% of UFs roster is 3* gems who sucked. For every Toney or Davis you get a lot more Williamson, Fred Johnson, and Jake Allen's. The more elite talent you get the better off you are. This is a fact.

Agree with the offer sheet.

I don't mind taking a few possible gems in needed positions. But overall, we need blue chips. History proves this.

My few on three stars is simple. Which major offers do they have besides us. If top recruiters want them. If guys known to find talent want them. I want them. If it's Louisville and FAU as our top competition...pass please.

247 is making the recent CBs VIP. So you have to pay for it.

That's why I'm making it available, m'lord.

You are a hero Straws.

I try to find things behind the pay walls all over the place, and if I see anything actually changing I'll post it.

Right now, it's looking like we're going to end up with an insanely strong class for a transition.

TJ...I never once stated that stars DONT count...maybe remedial reading is necessary? What I have stated basically is that 3 stars can be an asset and developed. I happen to like Fred Johnson btw...he doesn't quite have the footwork you would like but he contributed quite a bit and started probably a dozen or more games. He is a real mountain of a man child at 6'7 and blocks out the sun with his presence.

Not everyone can be a 5 star or a highly sought after 4 star TJ...but I know we need OL who can start SEC games and also be a backup. He could have a breakout year...who is to say? OL is a position especially that requires a developing period. You don't see Leatherwood playing like a 5 star now for Bama do you? Some OL take longer than others to finally be ready....but go ahead consider them insignificant in your world. Again, its nice to recruit a bunch of highly sought after players...but we aren't getting 85 of them on roster nor will anyone else.

BTW we got our asses kicked this year because of horrendous QB play by a highly rated recruit. Del Rio played all 12 games? We would have gone to a bowl game of some type.

What metric are you using? There's been article after article that being in the NC, having tons of NFL players on your roster and winning a ton of games that rosters full of 4-5*s beats 3*s almost every time. It's a proven fact.

You named 1 guy out of thousands. How many 3*s out of the last 15 years have been major contributors. I'm willing to gamble it's less than 30%. Where as with 4/5* guys we've had 50+% success.
