Better than the last 3-4 years though. It may not be spectacular but none are beyond our reach either.Decent list. Not as good as I would like to see

If we pull Dumerville out of that list I will be satisfied. I would love to see Lee back in the fold as wellBetter than the last 3-4 years though. It may not be spectacular but none are beyond our reach either.
You never turn down a 4.38/40 safety no matter what his rating is by the recruiting services.I don't think the staff wants him, which is shocking considering they took Graham & Johnson. He's probably being kept on the backburner because we're going after a couple of others (Robinson, Pouncey and a few others). He's probably heading to Auburn, Miami, or maybe Tennessee. Graham is probably going to be a ST's player and I'm fine w/ that, but Johnson is a reach.

Better than a highly rated CB with a 4.7/40. And it is based on my total disregard for the recruiting service rating. I mean, don't you just love it? A rating based on up to 4 significant decimals? Give me a freaking break! And the shear discrepancy in their evaluations. Don't get me started on the UGA biased evaluation of players that Georgia is after. Not to mention the off the street evaluators. Give me a professional evaluation service with people that have actually played the game or coached it based on published criteria with laser based 40s, with accurate weights and heights and other physical measurements, with film analysis of not only highlights but every play, with intelligent analysis of level of competition and then we can talk.Is this a "trust the coaches" post?

And who was on top of our safety board? Do you know? Does anybody know? All we know is what offers went out.Leo, I get it.....and I agree w/ a lot of your points. However, I'm tired of the "our coaches are better evaluators than everyone else's coaches" mantra (we heard the same bullsh*t during the Butters era as an excuse for the sh*tty recruiting). At some point we need to land the players at the top (or near the top) of our board (and there is no way Johnson was at, or near, the top of our Safety board). Simple fact is we missed on our top targets and now we have Plan B committed. Sooner or later Plan A needs to happen more often than not - no matter how over-inflated UGA's recruits may be.

We're still on Alford and McDaniel and Torrence, last time I checked, was still committed to us.Avantae Williams was the clear #1 (and still is - still hoping for a flip). Xavion Alford, Tennison, Mordecai McDaniel, Torrence? Sure, we can play the 'all we know is what offers went out...' game, but we also know who we didn't get. I'm not getting into a pissing contest w/ you about a low ranked safety. "Trust the coaches"!!
