There is a lot of negativity and people complaining about this class. How about something a little more positive. Who are your three favorite recruits and why?

1. Ty Chandler- Has the potential to be one of the best backs we've seen in a long time.

2. Trey Smith- The kid is simply a beast.

3. Eric Crosby- I think he is very underrated. When you combine his size, leverage, and athleticism, I think he'll give a lot of offensive linemen trouble.

Chandler, Smith, and Ignont.

I also like Gray, Murphy, Labruzza, and a few of our DL signees. It was a solid class.

How about three of our three stars. Solon Page love what he can be outstanding Athlete really quick hips. Will be very good here in time after Rock gets hold of him. Josh Palmer WR. Watch his tape he blew up this year against the best FL has to offer. K'Rojan Calbert OL I have watched him play and know this young man raw only playing limited High School Football but let me tell you size Athletic ability and ability to play with a low knee which for OL is huge. He has a huge love for the game and will do whatever asked by Rock and his coaches to get better. I could ave names others but several were rated a 4 star by at least one service. Total of 11 of them. 1-5 star and absolute stud. We did better than most give us credit.

1. Ty Chandler. He is insane. He plays great competition and still puts up huge numbers. He consistently breaks tackles and is fast as all get out. Has great vision. Cant wait to watch him play.

2. Marquez Bembry. He's explosive, fast, and physical. Film is fun to watch.

3. Trey Smith. He just dominates everybody.

Page and Reid are both very similar. Both very good.

Chandler, Gray, Shamburger

Ignont, Smith, Page

Reid, Bembry, Murphy

Crosby, Cimaglia, Calbert

The guys who were whining about the class must've not watched any of the recruits. I can't believe I read one fan call all these kids, except 2-3, garbage!

Man where do I start...
1. I like underdogs so unlike an obvious choice being Trey Smith... I will choose Josh Palmer. I know I was critical of him on his thread but wanted to give some people some legit things to see in a WR... This kid is a stud great burst after watching other tapes on him... He is super aggressive great at the point of attack... Knows how to apex the ball... Sets up routes pretty well against good competition, but he needs work on his release but going to be a Very special player to watch.
2. Shannon Reid this kid is hungry and one thing you can't teach is intangibles and this kid has it... He is poor in technique in some coverage responsibility needs to work on not opening his hips so wide but is a kid that is super aggressive and plays with a meanness that a player on D needs... The same aggression that Kelly plays with... Has good feet and he moved well... He needs to add some weight in the S&C program because he might be a hindrance to the run game with his lack of size but who knows his aggressive play style might negate that.
3. Shawn shamburger first of all great name... Second kids a baller I have no idea why this kid was so poorly rated... He has some serious ball hawking ability and he will be one that will be hard to keep off the field next year... I am super excited about him... Good size nice technique obviously some stuff could be cleaned up but he is a high school kid so of course there will be some stuff.... Very excited about him.
Also 4. Tim Jordan as an honorable mention... This kid shines in space when he gets the ball he knows how to find the endzone... He is a tough guy sticks his foot in the ground and goes... Has great vision in open field looks like he is always looking ahead at the next person he will make miss... Would like to see him
Involved in the pass game with some screens reminds me of a Kevin Faulk type guy... Way back from the early 2000's with the pats... But anyway the obvious choice would be
Trey Smith, Ty Chandler, Will Ignont... But those other guys are ones to keep an eye on...

Other than the obvious choices:

1. Jones - I really like what he does after the catch

2. Butler - He is really active inside and its hard to teach that

3. Shamburger - Rangy and athletic I think he will get a lot of ints here

Coach Shoop loves al three of his CB. Shamburger transferred from Al to GA. Got lost by services. He is just one of the many seals we got. He had many SEC schools coming after him but told them no.

I'm going to take a different approach and give my favorite from each tier (according to rankings).

Tier 1: Smith

Tier 2: Labruzza

Tier 3: Jordan

Make it interesting and only talk from the 3 star guys. Trey and Chandler are obvious.

I'd go Page, Palmer, Labruzza

I only have knowledge about one of these recruits. He lives behind me and I hardly knew it. (very low key young man) He is a big man with good hands and speed and also plays defense with the best I saw around west TN the last year or two. Good family I have known for years. WATCH THIS GUY. T. Bumpas. ( If given the chance, may be the best TE in a long time.)

I am really impressed with the Chandler kid. He's an elusive back with both speed and power. He has a tendency to look over his shoulder when he breaks into the open. Don't do that. He sometimes slows down at the end of runs to taunt his pursuers. Don't do that, either.
And I've seen him duck out of bounds to avoid contact rather than finishing strong. Never do that, son.

Once he breaks these high school habits, he will be a dynamic running back for us.

I'm choosing based on where we really struggled last year and these three guys need to be hits. Need all three to be able to play at high levels.

Bailey (Probably my favorite CB in the class. He just has that it factor. He's always around the ball and I think he's going to be a baller)
Crosby. (Need some DTs to step in and play right away with out lingering issues. Glad we were able to lock this kid up early.)
Shamburger ( another CB cause well we need help there and I just don't understand how this kid was ranked so low playing at such a high level in both Alabama and Georgia.)

I'll do it this way too.

Tier 1 (91+ composite): Smith/Chandler (can't pick 1)

Tier 2: (85-90.99 composite): Jordan Murphy

Tier 3 (84.99 or lower composite): Shawn Shamburger
