Mando is definitely a below average poster.

He's new. Maybe he will learn the ropes. he just can't seem to help himself and trolls everywhere...even where he isn't supposed to. Hopefully he will learn.

No big remaining targets that are publicly known that aren't committed. Really like Ladd McConkey as a late add possibility (petition to rename him McHonkey officially if he commits) but he won't impact recruiting ranking scores.

Primary goal along with Van Pran, but there is still 1 spot left I think




Actually, I think we are taking as many as 3 more. Soemthing like 24 or 25. Edwards puts us at 22 counting VanPran and Jones.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Bell, McConkey and maybe a DT added to the class. All in the 3* range, but decent players.

And they'll get it back on Wednesday. Swapping Jayson Jones for McKinnley Jackson increases Alabama's score to 313.92.

ETA: And no offense to my Georgia friends, but the 3 guys Long Dawg mentioned on the first page as potential late additions to UGA's class wouldn't up their score past 312.50.


I came up with different scores. not wure where we are off.

I got Alabama at 314+ and UGA at 313.35
(I plugged Jackson in for Alabama and plugged McConkey, Lundy and Bell in for Georgia. I mean, Alabama would still come out on top, just different scores than what you got.

I have no idea who Clemson might have left.

We’re taking Ennis Rakestraw too so you should add him

While Mando is a troll and i agree with most of what you are saying....I think his "poor Bama" comment was referencing that we passed them in the rankings.

Not a big deal. Alabama isn't done yet....Clemson isn't done yet and neither are we. It'll end up pretty close at the end. So close it really won't matter much.



When it’s all said and done, you basically have three teams with equivalent talent out of this cycle in Bama, UGA and Clemson.

Basically three #1 classes.

Adding Rakestraw Alabama would have 314.45.

That would give Alabama 28 recruits. Are y'all taking 28?

Sorry. It reminded me of Highlander when you said that.

I’m not going to complain. Don’t care where UGA finishes. Our avg per recruit is .94 which is pound for pound what you look for to build an elite team. The good teams will all have averages above .90 and will all be top 10 teams give or take some spots over the next few years. The Dawgs are in great shape. The roster is now full of dogs that want to win and that’s how you become a top 5 program.

Can anyone explain the signing cap? Alabama has signed 29, 22, & 27 in the last 3 cycles before 2020. They're now expected to sign 28?

We’re not taking Jayson Jones. We’re only taking 27. I’m getting 314.16 for our class score

I agree, but...I am not sure what that average will be f we add McConkey, Lundy and Bell. All are three stars so they will bring that average down a decent amount.

Absolutely. Now if Kirby can do some more growing and get us over the hump.

I am tired of #1980.

Ah! I didn't take Jones out of my calculations.

I get the same 314.16 without Jones and adding Rakestraw and Jackson.

At this point, it's just about anyone's guess...

Officially, the cap is essentially a sliding 25 from year to year, but early enrollees can still be back counted into the previous year if space was remaining.

I have no idea what Alabama had the year prior to 29, but let's assume that of those only 4 were able to count back, meaning they were full at 25 that year. The following year, they took 22, leaving space for 3. Then in 2019, they signed 27 - BUT - at least 3 of those were early enrollees, meaning they counted against 2018's total 25 available - leaving at least 1 spot available in the 2019 class for 2020 signees, meaning they can definitely sign at least 26. My guess is there's some creative accounting in there somewhere to get up to 27, and from what I was reading above, it doesn't sound like they'll take 28 in this class, just that someone hadn't removed a recruit (Jones) they expect to drop from this class.

Also, one of those adds to this class is a grad transfer that is likely to be counted against 2021's total, unless he's already on campus now.

Yeah I get the backcounting, I guess I’m missing something in who counts towards which year and grad transfers.

Since 2014 Bama has signed fewer than 25 twice. 22 in 2018 & 24 in 2015. They’ve signed more than 25 four times including 2020.

ETA: I don’t follow recruiting like I used to so I’m sure I’m missing something. I was just looking at the numbers and trying to wrap my head around it.

How Bama's scholarship players are counted vs NCAA signing & counter limits is tracked and explained in detail throughout the posts on the 1st page of the Bama Board's pinned Football Recruiting & Roster thread -- links from 1st post:

Watch his film again and think Elijah Holyfield. Lots of 2-5 yard runs and 10-15 yarders, but little to none over 20.

And FWIW, Radi Nabulsi, one of our insiders, is reporting that UGA passed on Evans a month ago. I have no idea if it's really true, but Radi is well connected.

Paul Tyson and Will Reichard received voluntary withdrawal replacement scholarships that don't count toward the 25 signing and initial counter limits, only the 85 total counters limit.


They’re signing and the voluntarily opting out of their scholarships, but staying on the roster.

That answers it.
