I think UGA could make a claim. Their DL class is arguably better than ours.
I don't see it. Here are both classes with the 247 ratings:
Georgia:
Thomson - 98
Ledbetter - 93
Patrick - 94
Barnett - 93
Rivers - 91
Young - 86
UT (with Phillips)
Mckenzie - 99
Tuttle - 98
Phillips - 95
Taylor - 92
Butcher - 89
Picou - 90
Ford - 89
Jackson - 86
GA has 6 players, 5 in the 90's, and with an average of 92.5.
UT has 8 players, 5 in the 90's (with 2 only 1 point away) and an average of 92.25.
Our average rating (again, with Phillips), is .25 lower, and we have 2 extra recruits.
The average rating of our top 6 is a 93.8. So, our top 6 would have an average rating 1.3 higher than GA's, and our overall 8 would only be .25 lower.
With Phillips, and assuming that 247 is accurate, our class is unquestionably better. It is deeper, with better top-end talent, and with very solid guys at the bottom.
UT's class is also a little bit better when it comes to filling out a depth chart. While Thomson is a stud DT, their only other DT is their lowest rated DL recruit. They have most of their talent (4 players in the 90's) at DE. We have two stud DT's, and then a handful of very talented DE's to sort out.
I wouldn't dream of trading.
