Where do we stand? 2/5

Still think my criticism of kb is unwarranted or unreasonable?

Just saw where he may take the Steelers DL coaching job

It's a catch-22 with Dunbar. You lose a great coach, but lose a poor recruiter. Just depends on who we get next.

Since we did not sign our full allotment, does this mean we will be shopping the juco market for more players, and was that expected? Just curious.

That's a concern....

Wonder if Chris Rumph would want to leave Knoxville already.

I'd be willing to bet Saban has his rolodex open and ready

I agree, its essentially the reverse of losing lance thompson.

Dunbar is a terrific technique coach.

I just read a tweet that says Vernon Jackson has yet to turn in his LOI to A&M as of 10am CT Thursday.
Interesting. Does one thing have to do with the other?

Take it with a grain of salt from where it came from.

I know yesterday stung for some since Alabama did not sweep all the big targets like many hoped. Still was a solid class that filled needs, though.

247 ranked Alabama's class the #7 class in the nation. Of the six teams ahead of Alabama, only USC and Clemson had smaller classes. That's the main reason for Alabama's ranking.

1. Georgia - 26 recruits with a 94.23 average
2. Ohio State - 26 recruits with a 94.29 average
3. Texas - 27 recruits with a 92.21 average
4. USC - 18 recruits with a 94.23 average
5. Penn State - 23 recruits with a 91.70 average
6. Clemson - 17 recruits with a 93.45 average
7. Alabama - 19 recruits with a 92.78 average

Look at the player averages for Alabama classes since 2013:

2013 - 93.252014 - 93.652015 - 93.732016 - 92.542017 - 93.762018 - 92.78

Not to mention Jarez Parks, Bulovas, and Brannon counted toward the 2017 class instead of the 2018 class.

IOW, Dunbar is Jeff Stoutland.

Anytime you sign a punter/kicker that number goes down. Plus we went after a couple of APB type kids -- with lower numbers too.

The biggest difference for me was, last year we signed 17 kids rated 95.0 or higher. This year 7......

 

[DC Tide]

I really don't think CNS will be angry with staff. Heck, most just got here.

Dunbar probably won't recruit anymore and someone like Champman or Pannunzio will instead.

Tosh wants to change some things in regards to DL recruiting philosophy.

Well that escalated quickly

Anyone think Bama might contact him, or has that ship sailed?

Didn't bother sending him a LOI, so that ship is already long gone.

I don't know how all of that works, but with the same number and a higher average, it looks to me that OSU is #1.

Great info RTR91. The average/player is an overlooked part of evaluating class rankings.

Georgia has more total points 323.31 to 317.06, which is what determines the ranking.

Must be weighted.
