if you look at our guys composite scores we are just a eyelash away from having 6 5 star players.

What is the cutoff for a 5-star?

Swift had a 98.28 so the cutoff had to be around 98.40.

As far as 247 is concerned, the cutoff isn't a rating, it's the top 32 guys. They do it based on "potential first round NFL draft" promise/potential. Not sure about the other services.

This is very subjective of me. But anything 94+ is great. High 4 stars generally lead to solid, reliable starters who will be playing on Sundays.

I also back out QBs when counting (we generally will only hit on one out of 3 or one out of 4 to really contribute at a high level... not the same conversion ratio as other 94+ recruits)

Speed's HS coach said he would be shocked if he did not sign with UGA.

Yeah, I saw the article as well. I guess what I was getting at is the coaches must have a pretty firm grasp on who is/isn't signing with us at this point, or likely his announcement would have needed to be later in the day.

Just given the announcement time and the language from the coach, it makes me think JW will likely stay with USCe. If we close with Speed, Bryant, and Murch in addition to keeping our existing class, that's pretty damn strong. Would put us at a 301.52. It will bring our per player rating avg down a bit (not that it matters, just acknowledging it). Speed's coach has said he doesn't really support his players going to the recruiting camps which has likely contributed to a lower rating than he might deserve, particularly given his offer list and getting the late visit from Saban (we heard similar things about Walter Grant throughout the year). Murch is a JUCO guy and inevitably, their ratings are low relative to HS guys (there are only 9 rated higher than a 90).

Apparently Murchison told staffs this morning. OM offered another DT this afternoon. May be nothing but worth noting

More likely to be something than nothing. We've been that team throwing out the afternoon offer in years past, usually because we got bad news in the morning.

We got Wyatt

So if we are getting speed and Murch, I assume the writing is ont he wall for Williams and Soloman, which is fine, I just am trying to figure out which announcement Im going to give a shite about.

Appreciate the link, covered a page or two ago now, but
Recruiting moves fast around here.

Not saying either will happen just tired of refreshing 247 over and over. Which would you be more disappointed in?
