It is a little startling to see all of the positions in which we did not even get a top 5 guys in the SEC. I wouldn't be surprised by this if it were a national comparison, but not top 5 in our conference at RB, OL, LB, or Safety?Here is Rivals take on the Top 5 players recruited at each position group.

I think Bama did fine filling their position of need. We had possibly three last minute changes by recruits plus we had major coaching turnover . You'll see a blitzkrieg this season in recruiting.It is a little startling to see all of the positions in which we did not even get a top 5 guys in the SEC. I wouldn't be surprised by this if it were a national comparison, but not top 5 in our conference at RB, OL, LB, or Safety?
RB and OL -- we are stacked.....LB (a bit thin), but with Wilson, Jennings, Lewis, Miller, and Moses coming back with experience.....the only one that is even a little concerning is Safety. If we get two years in a row ...... I'd worry, but one year, small numbers, down year in Alabama for recruits, and filling specific needs -- we are okIt is a little startling to see all of the positions in which we did not even get a top 5 guys in the SEC.

meh, every dog has its day and congrats on a great recruiting class. We've been doing it for about a decade so good luck on a natty. Drink all the coolaid you can stomach now but ya gotta prove it on the field son.Here is Rivals take on the Top 5 players recruited at each position group.

Farrell is not ranking the highest rated players at each position but how they 'fit' at each school. For example, he has Barn QB commit at #1. TBH, I don't get the list and it's just a way to put some type of article out to get clicks.It is a little startling to see all of the positions in which we did not even get a top 5 guys in the SEC.

So because UGA hasn't used a dual threat in Kirby's two years on campus, Fields isn't a better fit than Gatewood? Give me a break.1. Joey Gatewood, Auburn
2.Justin Fields, Georgia
3.Emory Jones, Florida
4. Matt Corral, Ole Miss
5.Jalen Mayden, Mississippi State
Farrell’s take: Gatewood gets the nod over Fields mainly because he’s such a great fit for Auburn and Georgia doesn’t often use dual threats. But both should have excellent careers. Jones will be a good fit for what Dan Mullen wants to do at Florida because he can move while Corral’s mobility and arm talent should make him a star at Ole Miss. No. 5 was tough, but I went with Mayden because he’s tall and mobile, and does excellent work outside the pocket at times.
Yeah. I can see we are in good shape with RB's. But we also seem to pull in one golden player every year at that position. To have a year we don't is just a little bit of a downer. I don't think being stacked at OL is as apparent to me as it may be to the guys who follow recruiting more closely. I start looking at how we are doing late in the process and at the final results, then often forget anyone but skill players until I see them on the field regularly. But I do appreciate you putting my mind at ease on that one.RB and OL -- we are stacked.....LB (a bit thin), but with Wilson, Jennings, Lewis, Miller, and Moses coming back with experience.....the only one that is even a little concerning is Safety.

Heck -- with the WRs we have -- we may not need to run the ball at all (lol) -- RTR!Yeah. I can see we are in good shape with RB's.

Jerome Ford is underrated. I watched his highlights and he can really play. Brian Robinson is also a guy that continues to be overlooked by people. That guy would be pushing for a starting job at most other schools. I think he would be near the top at Georgia this year with Chubb and Michel gone. Alabama is stacked at running back right now and has been for the better part of a decade. We have four players in 2018 that are capable of running for 1,000 yards each. Harris & Harris, Jacobs and Robinson.Yeah. I can see we are in good shape with RB's. But we also seem to pull in one golden player every year at that position.

Seeing by whom it was started, didn`t bother to look at this until now. Figured it would be something of a UGA " lovefest " and a not so subtle " in your face ". I`ve thought for a while now that Kirby is building a monster in Athens. I still do. Having said that, CNS has proven he can recruit at a stratospheric level for a protracted period of time. He`s also proven he can take that talent and translate it into national championships. Kirby hasn`t done that yet. He may. All I know is, he`s elevated expectations here in Georgia to a level where he`d better win it all, and damned quick at that.A Georgia fan started it
I really hope that the staff can find a meaningful role for this kid. He sure looks like he can tote the rock.Jerome Ford is underrated. I watched his highlights and he can really play.

It's not really a UGA recruiting link. He got it off the UGA rivals page, but it can also be found on Alabama's rivals page.Wow I wasn't expecting this thread to feature a uga recruiting link. May be time for the Oregonblitzkrieg treatment
Isn't Farrell a barn homer?This is beyond silly. What is the point of the article other than to get clicks? There's no substance. The quarterback section is all the evidence you need:

He looks like a smaller Eddie Lacy to me. Really hope he gets more carries this year and stays healthy. Maybe use Jacobs more at receiver. Amazing how many athletes we have on offense this year.I really hope that the staff can find a meaningful role for this kid. He sure looks like he can tote the rock.
Jacobs at times(slight emphasis here) looks like he might be the best RB we have in terms of being able to do it all, and you want to move him to WR?He looks like a smaller Eddie Lacy to me.

Maybe he's referring to using him as a wr at times like we did at the mid point and latter part of the season. But I certainly wouldn't move or change his position .Jacobs at times(slight emphasis here) looks like he might be the best RB we have in terms of being able to do it all, and you want to move him to WR?
