UGA is ranking in the 10 again. Now if they can just play on the field.

How is your school stacking up?

Recruiting is like the preseason top 25. OVERRATED!

I loved it, naturally. :lol:

But, I just don't like the whole process of these kids getting jacked up like celebrities, the whole staging of their choices, etc. ESPN has made it a public spectacle. And, as glad as I am that Bama ranks #1 two years running in recruiting (unless you count Scout -- which I don't -- or ESPN.com -- which I don't ----- purely arbitrarily of course), I wonder where Utah finished in recruiting 4 years ago when those guys that kicked our butts in the Sugar Bowl committed to be Utes. I love the whole thing about getting excited about recruiting, I don't like the staging, I do like the smack between fans about it, and I like to see these guys get a chance to succeed ...... and I like Bama getting love and props, etc. What I don't do is put too much stock in it for the future. Yes, we should be NC-competitive by the end of 2010. Will we? I dunno. Depends on these kids. And, no number of stars, no news coverage, none of that matters. Bama signed --- SIGNED, now --- a 5-star running back from Florida named Mike Ford about 3 years ago, I think. (Maybe 2?) Was the "it" kid. Never made it. Plays for USF, now. Academics jumped in, derailed him from here. He may be doing well now, I hope. Don't know. But, that's the point. You never, ever really know until they get wherever and do whatever they do.

Dale, everyone is an All-American on paper. The same year we recruited Steve Slaton (a 2 star recruit) we recruited a 5 star kid out of Virginia. He has been on and off the team at WVU Jason Gwaltley is his name. Pat White was a (2 star recruit as well), and we all know what he did. I think national signing day is a joke. A lot of hype about nothing. Rivals, Scouts, ESPN, etc., is just like the AP, Coaches Poll, and what have you polls on who you like rates you wherever.

I don't care where the class is rated, let's see how they produce in a couple of years.

The only school that I hope has a bust class is Michighan
