You mean like Daniel Brooks or Chris Donald? Not much bang for our bucks on those stars. I'd rather have a 2 or 3 star kid that actually meaningful snaps in a game.

again, missing the point. but thats okay, because 1 in every 100 2*s becomes a superstar.

and as for the remark about the 5* players, its a gamble you take. just like its a gamble on a 2* player.

I wonder what it would take for some of you to agree a recruit isn't SEC caliber. I think he could bring in anyone and some of you would be saying what a good get it is.

I must admit that I'm scratching my head a little about Sapp. I have no major issues with any of the others.

Ok, just what 5 star players is a new coach supposed to get on and sign in 2 1/2 weeks?

Give me a freakin' break. I'd understand the argument if CDD had a full recruiting season to sign a class, but to gripe about anything is ludicrous to me. Not only did guys leave early for the NFL since last season, we've lost 22 upperclassmen with the old regime. We're up against the wall on just warm bodies. Let's not quibble on stars or at this point and time, needs when we need everybody we can get.

You're going to be very happy then, this class will be top 10. I doubt we see much movement from our current ranking.

I WILL TRY AND TYPE THIS SO YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND. JUST BECAUSE THEY COMMITTED DOESNT MEAN ON NSD WE WILL TAKE THEM, IF A BETTER PLAYER COMES THE LOWER RATED PLAYER WILL BE TOLD TO GO SOMEPLACE ELSE. DO YOU UNDERSTAND. COACH DOOLEY IS PROBABLY TELLING THEM THIS WHEN THEY GIVE THEIR VERBAL.

It depends on where he comes from.. If the coach comes from, Tennessee or Lsu or a solid division 1 program he will have a few 5* and 4*prospects in his pipeline.. Just Sayin !!! GBO

History tells us so.

you never not go after your needs, regardless of how much time you have. to give up and take the "first come, first served" approach invites only mediocrity. Im content with filling the max-number of singees with whoever so long as we have done absolutley everything we can with players of positions of more dire need first.

How many stars do you think Rivals would have given (gave) Farvre, Warner, Rothlisberger, Rodgers, Romo or Rivers coming out of high school?

People actually trust amateurs like Scout and Rivals over the pros like Thompson and Dooley? Ridiculous.

Our coaches know what they are looking for. Montori Hughes anybody? Chris Donald, Lennon Creer, Bret Vinson, Nu'Keese Richardson, Mike Edwards, Ahmad Paige, D Mo - ya'll crazy

I guarantee if cdd and lt weren't trying to throw a class together in three weeks they would be on the 4/5 star players. Those guys are not optons so they have to go down the list. No way cdd is looking at guys like this next year. I believe they are good at eval. And are going for the best that is left for us out there. Let's not think these guys are more than they are, they are reaches. And this conclusion is not just based on the recruiting services, look at the rest of the "experts". The propst kid is in sabans back yard and he passed. And so did every other sec school. All the other "experts" in the sec passed on him and so would cdd if he had the chance, but he doesn't because he needs bodies. These kids can be good or great players, but probably not. And that is just where we are right now.
