You bring up a great point. Bama's 2nd and 3rd string could beat 11 or 12 of the 14 teams in the SEC. Their practices are raised to the next level because of the competition.

There is no doubt that Bama has more than their fair share of Jimmys and Joes.

Eric Gray would be an absolutely huge get for us today. It's also possible Crouch signs this week, but if he does he is not announcing until January so we won't know about it. The last 3 big-time recruits we have a good shot with are Gray, Crouch and Wright. Adding them to this class would make this year's haul a huge success (imo). The fact that we have such a good chance with Crouch is kind of amazing.

We are still in the running for To'oto'o and Bogle or so I hear.

Roughly 3225 players sign D1 football scholarships every year, 129 programs X 25 recruits per school. Out of those about 200 are listed as 4 and 5 stars. Every year there are 224 players drafted to the NFL, so yes there will be some 3 star players that either developed late or the scouts just missed on. However 9 times out of 10 that isn't the case, so while I know your reply was meant to be optimistic and attempt to justify signing 3 stars it just doesn't translate well in the SEC. If you can win with 3 stars, why have Mississippi State, Vandy, Arkansas, Tennessee, UK, Mizzou, South Carolina all been absent from Atlanta? Remember when Fulmer was running the SEC? Those were brought to you by top 5 classes.

I agree, but 9 times out of 10 is a little high.

5 star recruits are sometimes overrated

Five star recruits can be just as overrated as 4 star and three star and two star recruits.

They can ALL be overrated. All else equaly, give the the 4 and 5 star guys and I'll take my chances.

We shouldnt be too worried about getting the top guys in TN. Butch focused on that and look where it got us. We need to get the best players in America, not the best players in TN. If the best players in TN happen to also be the best players in America, then we should focus on them.

Right. Georgia, LSU, Oregon, Clemson, and South Carolina can take them. Didn’t want them anyway!

Last night the local news out of Nashville said we had a silent 5 star commit who had signed think it is true and if so who is it.

Our problem, besides not signing enough 4's and 5's, is that we've not identified any of these types of players. Our 2's and 3's, as a whole, have played like 2's and 3's. That I can think of, I guess John Kelly could be one.

And some of our 4s and 5s have played like 2s and 3s.

You are correct, there is a higher percentage. It is also a fact that they powers that be miss VERY badly as well. See if you recognize any of these players from LAST year's Pro Bowl that were either 2 stars or not even rated coming out of high school.

2 Star
Khalil Mack
Aqib Talib

Not rated
Antonio Brown
Tom Brady
Ben Roethlisberger
Michael Bennett

Bring it!
