Is there anything more overated than signing day and ranking of the top 15 or so classes. I mean yeah if you signed the 43 best class then you probably are going to have trouble competing with the big boys over the years, but anyone that thinks there is a big difference between 1-15 especially and maybe even up a little should really go back and look at past signing days throughout the years. College is still a TEAM sport and unlike the nfl the coaches that can get good, not necessarily great players to preform as one will win in the long run. Most in this state are upset with a WR we lost to tenn late, but I am actually glad he went as he is a "me" guy. I wish him nothing but the best, but anyone that saw us play this year knows that WR is not the issue lol. Bottom line, this day has been turned into a circus that is much more about fluff than stuff for the top 15 or so. Anyone that says they can peg a kid at a 4/4.5/5 star kid at the age of 17-18 with all the different variables involved is nuts. Imperfect science at best, drummed up shit to make espn and the like more money at worst. I think yall can tell which side i'm leaning.
Signing Day = Most overblown day in sports

ARE YOU JUST MAD BECAUSE WHERE YOUR CLASS WOUND UP???:shrug:
THAT WAS A JOKE, BUT I HAVE TO SAY I DISAGREE WITH YA. IF YOU WANT TO SAY THAT THERE IS NOT A HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 1-5 I WOULD AGREE, BUT TO SAY FOR INSTANCE FLA IS #1 AND UGA IS # 16, TO SAY THAT THEY ARE EVEN CLOSE TO SAME IS CRAZY! I KNOW NOT EVERYONE PANS OUT, BUT COME ON MAN YOU GOT TO GET TALENT TO COMPETE IN THE SEC AND FOOTBALL IN GENERAL........
I am actually very happy with our finish as we needed defense and we got it.
According to Scouts.com we finished the exact same this year as yall did last year:shrug: That is kind of my point, using yalls 21st best class last year there was only 3 teams that signed more top 100 and only 1 team that signed more 5 stars but yet yall are 21st:shrug: The biggest reason is the same for georgia this year which is the number signed. I obviously agree that you have to be getting the tallent, but it is not the talent in any given year but the average talent in a 2-3 year period. If you want to say top ten then fine, but do you not believe yall had a great class last year and yet scouts.com ranked you 21st:shrug:
