2007 Recruiting Class

[rexvol]

2007 class has been cleaned out:
Kenny O'Neal 5*
Brent Vinson 5*
Chris Donald 5*
BJ Coleman 4*
Donald Langely 4*
Lennon Creer 4*
Ahmad Paige 4*
Rolando Melancon 4*
Darris Sawtelle 4*

A guy posted this elsewhere. Isnt that a trip?

[kptvol]

It's not like any of those guys even remotely came close to justifying their stars. Lennon Creer might have been closest. I guess Sawtelle doesn't really count, since we'll never know how good he was.

[PennVol]

painful to see that. Has anyone ever seen a recruiting class at any school that bombed out this way?? Any other school in the sec had anything like this??

btw, was Vinson really a 5*??

[Outdors21]

Did Sawtelle just quit football? Or did he transfer somewhere?

[SGMVols]

The '05 and '07 classes are arguably the most overrated in the history of college football.

IIRC he went to Grand Valley State.

[CKWHITE]

Ridiculous! Yeah that would leave any team with serious depth issues.

[velovol]

everytime I look at the depth chart I get angrier at the last regime.

Florida's 2005 class evaporated.

18 players were signed in 2005 and by the start of the 2007 season only 6 were even on the team as JUCO Reggie Nelson opted to enter the draft. To add insult to injury one of those six was a place kicker.

Star ratings are crap. Despite what Rivals and Scout say...UT could very well have the best class this year and it wouldn't be evident for a couple of years.

He transferred to Div II?? Wow. That's quite a step down.

Why didn't it work out for him? Just didn't want to work?

I don't want to say anything bad but this class was a total let down

[rexvol]

if you go Div 2, GVS is a great place to play ball

[nikesportsfan]

Aren't Vinson and Donald still on the team?

I would say by far the most under-coached (least talent developed) classes of all time minus Berry in '07.
