I'm am so sick of hearing about recruits!!! mainly from Bammers who have all but put another national championship banner up simply because Rivals tells them how great a bunch of high school kids are. But I'm sick of my fellow Auburn fans too. Why does everyone get so wrapped up in imaginary stars in front of an 18 year old kid's name? Why is Bama's class better than Auburn's?? Cause Rivals.com and Scouts.com say so?? Idiotic!!!
Check the speed category of Auburn's recruiting class... outside of linemen, every player is 4.6/40 or better.... heck, they even have a commit from a DE with a 4.46/40. Speed kills, and if you show me 2 6'2" 210 LBs with 4.55 speed, one is 5* and one is 3*, how will I know which one is the best player??? Wait and see if they reach their potential at the next level, then if they can take it to the NFL. Auburn will have just as many All SEC guys from this class as Bama, and will have just as many, if not more, NFL players off of it. Get off this junk and see how the kids do on the field.... Just a few names that folks hung up on rankings wouldntve given a chance....
Ben Grubbs, 2* TE--Starting G in NFL/1st round
Ronnie Brown, 3*--Starting RB in NFL/2 pick overall
Karlos Dansby, 2* WR--Starting LB in NFL/1st rnd
Dontarius Thomas, NR--rotation @ LB in NFL/mid rund
Sen'Derrick Marks, 2*--will be a 1st or 2nd round pick in this years NFL draft
If stars were as meaningfull as some want you to believe, these guys wouldve had to play at the D-1aa level and definately shouldnt be in the pros.
Just a rant on something that annoys the crap out of me....just let'em play on the field and see what happens....
PS...Utah had exactly ONE 4 star and ZERO 5 star players on the team that dominated then Tide in the Sugar Bowl.... just somemore food for thought.... Rivals, Scouts, nor ESPN can measure a kids heart and desire...
