Richt's First Full Class (2017) - Looking back - What a Brutally Bad Top15 Class

[nvlahos]

Tons of JAGs and guys that seemed to be bad evaluations, talent and character wise -

Jeff Thomas - Headcase whose issues off the field surpass his on field production

Navaughn Donaldson - Came in overweight, still overweight and lazy and gets beat by smaller lesser talent guys constantly, huge disappointment

DJ Johnson - Not competing at Paradise Camp should've been a sign. Transferred out

N'Kosi Perry - Off field issues. Matured this year, but hasn't put it together on the field.

Kai-Leon Herbert - JAG

Zalontae Hillery - JAG

Jhavote Dean - JAGish

Amari Carter - Really struggles in space at S. Better in the box as a LB or blitzing safety

Brian Polendy - JAG - Transfered

Cade Weldon - JAG and Off Field Issues

Zach Dyksta - JAG

Zach Feagles - JAG, brutal

Evidence Njoku - JAG, transferred out

Waynmon Steed - Injuries

Bradley Jennings - Injuries

Robert Burns - Injuries and surpassed by better players

De'Andre Wilder - Injuries

Derrick Smith - complained about PT, transferred out


Thats 18 of out 24 commits that have virtually been irrelevant to this team and program. 2 out of the 6 that have been starters (Trajan & Gaynor) were borderline offers by the staff at the time. Makes you realize, Richt was losing his touch as a recruiter as well.

[Cesarmao]

What a shxt show of a class honestly.

 

[edge]

That’s really bad. Most of those guys were not even JAG’s but literally non contributors.

 

[edge]

This is another excellent reason why we need to stop with “we have more talent then everyone on our schedule” nonsense.

Still more talent than the teams we lost to besides Florida, c'mon.

3/4 of the class bombed... That's really bad...

 

[HighSeas]

Lazy entitled corch recruits lazy entitled players...and a bunch of talentless scrubs who have no business at Miami.

There is merit to the "culture" talk and it stems from Richt.

 

[Skip Cane]

That’s depressing stuff. Seriously, what the ****? It’s like we are cursed.

 

[#26-MEAST]

dang. that's a huge reason we suck

 

[DMoney]

Character hurt us there.

 

[OptimusCreampie]

Don’t want to rustle anyone’s jimmies but the 2018 class while not as bad as the 17 class is starting to become a let down.

 

[RedPill Stepdad]

Heard Manny speaking on this. It's kinda unfair to evaluate the offensive (and somewhat defensive) players bc they weren't put in a position to succeed.

 

[moshated305]

Was a transition class. Not much time to save the mess Golden left. With that said the 2018 class hasn't produce much yet either.

 

[GojiraCane]

Silly question, but what does JAG stand for?

 

[Canedog]

Just another GuYsM.

 

[Lokest]

Silly question, but what does JAG stand for?

just another guy

Actually 2016 was the transition class... 2017 was Richts own first class... 2016 is where we got Shaq, Pick, McCloud .. Richt was hired Dec.4 2015
