CrimsonKat Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Great close to this class for Florida. Alabama is lurking at #3, and with a strong finish could overcome the Gators for the top spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 You guys suck No matter what we do you guys always do a good job of spoiling it for us. I've been saying it for months, next year is our NC chance and either you or GT is going to spoil it for us. You ********!Go Dawgs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UGA_DAWG46 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Congrats Gators fans. UGA is still in the top 5. We are going to have a really good year next year. National Championship is around the corner. It great being a Dawgs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popcornplaya Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 As far as I'm concerned the recruiting numbers mean jack to me. Until they get on the field and contribute, I take the rankings with a grain of salt. Production speaks louder than speculation. Name the school that's had the most consecutive top 10 recruiting classes in a row please? That's right UGA. What does that mean? Nothing. We have a few SEC Championships to show for it, but no National Championships. The rankings mean jack to me. Give me production and I don't care if you have the 100th ranked class. Go Dawgs!

Especially in football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakyfalcon Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I agree that recruiting ranking dont mean a thing until its proven on the field but I cant but notice that Rivals had DeAngelo Tyson as the No.1 DT in the nation and a 5 star recruit for a long time at one point. As soon as the rumors came out that Omar Hunter, who was a 4 star recruit for awhile, was seriously considering the Gators, Rivals bumps him from a 4 star to a 5 star and moving him from the No.4 or 5 spot to the No. 2 spot. Then they turn around and drop Tyson from a 5 star to a 4 star and moving him from the top spot to the No. 4 slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, with us slowplaying Harbin a bit, I think he may end up a Gamecock either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeAngelo Tyson had a great all-star game as well and is a freaking awesome prospect. AJ Green dropping to #17 was a joke. He is a top 10 player in the country period. When two of the guys who handle the rankings were asked about AJ Green's dropping they couldn't say one reason why it happened. UGA's class is awesome this year. We got some great cbs, lbs, rbs, oline, dline, safeties, wrs, and one of the best tight ends in the country and one of the best kickers in the country. UGA filled EVERY NEED plus some. I will be posting a roster by class after signing day showing how deep and talented this team is. I am loving it right now. Great to be a Dawg fan.

jgator21 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Statick (1/24/2008)Rivals ranking system has always been a mystery to me.How'd AJ Green drop so far down all of a sudden?Once again, he only dropped 4 spots. It was more a case of other prospects looking great in All Star games and the practices leading up to them. In the end it really doesnt matter because he is a phenominal talent and all the guys in the top 10 are pretty equal in talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remarkable Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on who you are) the true rankings are decided on the field. I never understood why people followed these recruiting rankings so closely. They change all the time. All these rankings are good for is letting you know if you have a good recruiting class, not if your class is 15 points better than the next.I rather be a team that has a NC contending roster already in place who is adding talent and depth than a team like Florida who needs to see improvement in a lot of areas to be a contender. Just IMO... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headshot Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 I also agree with some of you guys 100%. Recruiting classes mean nothing until those players step on the field. Take 2 guys who really bolstered our recruiting class last year-- Carlos Dunlap and Torrey (sp?) Davis. Dunlap was the #1 ranked DE and Davis was the #2 ranked DT (or the numbers may have been reversed, I can't quite remember) and neither one of them contributed much this year when they got on the field. None of this matters until the game is played, it's just a measurement of POTENTIAL not PRODUCTION. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
