Class of 2014- Who will Own Georgia this year? Update- South Carolina Moving UP

That is such a horrible ranking. I see why no one takes 24/7 seriously.

Alabama will land Carter and Shaw.

Watson = AU lock

I’ll concede Carter, but I think UGA lands Shaw

What he is is the best QB in this class,

Kid's the truth but I don't know if he's the best.

He's the best qb in the class. He should be number 2 in the state of georgia behind carter in my opinion. Watson is a stud

I would have Watson ahead solely because of the value of the QB position. I think Carter would get the highest grade from me, but the QB position is more valuable.

The two are without a doubt the top duo in the state though.

Yea, if you had half a brain I'd recommend using 24/7 and not coloring outside the circles.

I say this as someone who fully acknowledges there's a pretty damn good chance he goes elsewhere, but if you are paid to evaluate talent and think there are 6 players better than Deshaun Watson in the state of Georgia you are probably the offspring of inbred elephant mating.

There's not a QB on Watson's level this class, period.

He is easily the best QB in the country this cycle, but you have to realize the perspective 247 tries to use when evaluating. They look at things from an NFL perspective and are trying to figure how these guys would be drafted, or at least ranked for the draft.

From a HS perspective, I don't think there is a single better player in GA than Watson, maybe not in the country. He could absolutely take over any HS game anywhere in the country. From a college perspective I think you can make the argument for at least Carter, Shaw, and McMillian. Parrish too, IMO, but you probably don't know who he is...you will though. Bessent has no business in the top 5, that is Lucky's Bama bump in full effect. Usually that is just fans being retarded, but here the accusation passes muster.

From an NFL perspective though, I can easily see 5-6 guys, maybe more, that NFL teams would be chomping at the bit for over Watson.

That said, I agree that 247 is not the best rankings there are, though the composite just might be.

Eh, that's a PR attempt at covering their atrocious mistakes.

First off, no scouting service should be ranking high school prospects, especially when they start their rankings after their junior year, based on their NFL potential. It's an abysmal standard to project 4-5 years in advance.

It's hard to even take their rankings seriously if that's what they base it on. Would you take a site's rankings seriously that projected 7th graders as high school seniors? It's idiotic.

And no from a college prospective you can't expect Shaw, McMillian and Parish to be better than Watson. The only one who is in the conversation is Carter simply because most OTs are pretty terrible at the college level.

Lastly, besides the fact that it's idiotic to predict 5 years in advance of what a prospect will look like in the NFL, who really gives a fvck what they do in the league? Tommie Frazier is one of the GOATs, but he never did anything in the NFL. Basing a ranking of college prospects based on their potential as NFL prospects is idiotic.

Thanks for making my argument for me. 24/7 = rotten diarrhea

Elisha Shaw is on campus today and there were rumbilngs that Nick Glass was supposed to flip from UGA to us.
