Check your facts. The bottom line is, Golden wasn't that horrible of a recruiter in his first full class (2012). He had a top 10-11 class. He signed Tracy Howard, Malcolm Lewis, Tyriq McCord, Duke Johnson, Deon Bush, Ereck Flowers, and Preston Dewey. All of those names were rated four stars or better by ESPN and two years later we won nine games. It was a very solid class but outside of Duke, who was really a difference maker? This class is similar. Richt, I believe, is a better game day coach but recruiting-wise, they're about the same.
Listen, I'm different from most of you cats on here. I'm a bottom line kinda dude. I'm not interested in the coastal, I'm not interested in the ACC, I want the crystal ball and the golden megaphone that we call a national championship trophy. I'm not gonna blow smoke and pretend like this class is some sort of game changer, it's not. You should not lose four out of five top sofla dbs to those c*nts in Gainesville. Just shouldn't. I understand that McFarland got paid by Maryland but you can't be put in a position where he ****es in your mouth the way he did after months of being a silent commit and not have a back up plan. OL was a good haul and you landed an elite recruit in Donaldson and nice player in Gainer. I'm not as high on Herbert as recruiting services are. I thought we did as good as we could at receiver but Devonta Smith not even giving us the decency to attend a visit was discouraging going forward. Cornerback was a need position and while I think Bandy was the best corner in south Florida, and Dean has good size and speed, you needed another guy with speed. Henderson hurts, Edwards....Not so much.
The top players in that class were great. But we signed like 33 ppl that class and 20 of them were straight trash. You need to go back and examine that class and compare it to this one or even last class. We have some top guys this class like we did in 2012, but more importantly these are all Miami guys. They are all Miami quality guys, top to bottom. And that's why golden wasn't a good recruiter here.
This doesn't make any sense. In one breath you say the top players in that class were great but the rest were trash. How do you know this class is full of sure fire studs? Dykstra? Burns? Smith? Etc. I hope these guys pan out but there not world beaters by any means.
Is Donaldson better than Flowers?
Is Carter better than Bush?
Is Bandy better than Tracy Howard?
Who knows, but to act like Richt cleaned up in recruiting this year's is horsesh*t. He didn't.
Again, I'm not calling the class trash but it's not a big-time class either.
ESPN insiders and CBS loved this class. It's a very good class , either you're a troll or an idiot.
Can you go with both?
His argument is lame considering we actually have a staff that can coach and develop talent. Outside of corner and RB, I don't understand how anyone can crap on this class.
Who is crapping on the class? Not me. For the 3,543 time, it's a solid class. My argument is lame because it's not what you want to hear right now. You want to believe that this class will be the one to guide us to the promise land. I hope so too but like I said before, it's similarly rated to Golden's 2012 and 2014 classes. We will see how well this staff can develop over the next few years. I'll wait and see. I like Richt but considering that he was run out of Georgia for not winning the big one with good talent, I'll wait and see as opposed to jumping in head first like some of you sheep on here. We all believed in Golden too at one time (though most will deny it now).
