We need to get more player's on this list.
The ones we do have on here definitely deserve it.
Of course this list is very SEC heavy with ESPN being the ones to come up with it.

We got two in the top fifty. One didn't play here and the other made a name for himself elsewhere. Been a ****** eight years. That list makes me sick.

No doubt. Can you imagine what the list of the 8 years before that would look like?

Cane dominant.

I mean I like Hargreaves as much as the next guy (for a Gator) but you gotta be ******* kidding me putting him that high
 
9 out of 300 is pitiful. And of the nine one never made it here, one barely contributed before transferring,and nine were good to very good players, but hardly super stars. Only Duke is a bonafide star, and Tracy Coley may still join him. Virtually no elite players in nearly a decade.

I thought the same thing. I don't care enough to evenlook at what the list is based off of but he's appx 100 spots ahead of Duke. And I love my boy Coley....but why is he ahead of Duke?

Heck, I missed Coley (Spence also) on the list. Duke should definitely be higher.
 
I don't understand this list at all. Is it:

1. Best college players?
2. Best college prospects coming out?

So this ranking is not simply a list of the top college performers over the last eight years, as our talented college football writers could produce that version. Our version of the Ultimate ESPN 300 is essentially a hypothetical ranking that blends what we know now with what we projected back then.

So they basically just made it up as they went. This is really one of the dumbest things ESPN has ever made.

Like most lists, the more I look at it, the less I understand it.

This list is rubbish.

Face it guys there's one common denominator that is consistent with this program I won't say her name but y'all know. Every since the academic changes, we have been off that list 15-20 of those kids would have been here but because certain people in charge wanted us to be Duke those kids went elsewhere so they didn't get jerked around by the administration and Clearinghouse. It is what it is get use to it until we start over
With new ideas at the top!!!!
