TerryP said:We're getting together our content for December right now...it'll include a few looks at the Utes, a look at our departing class and how they've done versus how the recruiting experts said they'd do, things this team is missing right now...plus a few other goodies here and there.
I'd say, we'll break into the Utes sometime in the next few days and REALLY get into the breakdown at the beginning of next week.

Hey Terry,
Thanks for all the great info. I was thinking about our senior/junior class vs UF senior/junior class. Do you know how many 4 and 5 star recruits Bama has in the senior/junior class? Im pretty sure UF has a bunch of them. I know JPW wasnt highly recruited and Rashad was a walkon. Andre was a 5 star i know. Seems like the Bama upperclassmen certainly overachieved in relation to the recruiting rank.
Thanks

Just as one example, with a Jr. but a kid no one thought highly of that has really come out?
Drew Davis. He was a Rivals 2* coming out of high school...I don't recall if he had any offers from SEC schools much less schools like UNA, etc. Here's a kid that was in the 2004 class, took a grey-shirt, then a red-shirt, and this past season as a Jr. has done a hell of a job considering the problems we've had at RT.

From what I remember, Shula's classes were consistently in the 15-20 ranking. If i remember correctly, Andre was his only 5 star recruit. Compared to Florida who had top 5 recruiting classes every year during that time frame. If im correct in my memory, that means that not only has this group overacheived, but Saban and his staff have done a SPECTACULAR job.

I think at the college level X's and O's are as important as Jimmy's and Joe's.
