Reviewing the Classes- The Class of 2015

[DMoney]

We spend so much time on recruiting, but we rarely take time to look back. This series examines every class for the past five coaches- Manny, Richt, Golden, Shannon, and Coker. As Mario’s first class enters Year 4, what are the trends he needs to avoid if he wants to break the cycle?

Of course, bad coaching and development played a massive role in our downfall. But for this exercise, I wanted to focus on pure talent acquisition. That’s why I use NFL numbers. The NFL has the most...

RJ McIntosh and Kendrick Norton might have been our best DT combo in the last 10-15 years

They were awesome. And redwine and Jaquan were great too. They’d have had us in the playoffs last year

 

[88]

Glad to be out of the offensive line evaluation ghetto

 

[Hurry-Cane]

These are cool, thanks for putting them together.

I think what it highlights is just how much competition there is for the top talent AND just how hard it is to make it to the NFL and more importantly be successful there.

 

[3FW]

I remember Patchan being a more highly rated recruit than a 3 star.

 

[BigDikDaddyFromCincinnati]

Time to refill my Prozac and Zoloft....this ish makes me sad asf.

 

[Gables Canes]

OT Bar Milo (Los Angeles, CA)

OT Tyree St. Louis (Tampa, FL)

OL Jahair Jones (Brooklyn, NY)

OL Brendan Loftus (Tallahassee, FL)

OL Hayden Mahoney (Philadelphia, PA)

OL Tyler Gauthier (Venice, FL)

What a compete dumpster fire of an OL class. The only decent player was St. Louis.

The difference in our OL recruiting and development now vs. then is absolutely massive.

 

[Trav]

I remember Patchan being a more highly rated recruit than a 3 star.

Yea I thought he was a consensus 4

 

[DC3]

Could’ve sworn Johnson was a 5 star

 

[DMoney]

I remember Patchan being a more highly rated recruit than a 3 star.

Me too but I guess he slipped. He is an 87 rating on the Composite.

a few years ago.....i had to take two of my players on a recruiting visit to West Carolina University...they were playing i wanna say Samford or SOUTH Alabama one of those teams....get the roster and Brendan Loftus is on it.....he isnt distingishable as samford/south alabama's best lineman...thats where we were smh.

 

[itsdolphhh]

That OL class was disgusting.

Quan and Redwine weren't blue chippers but they weren't bums either. Auburn and UF had us sweating it out with both until the very last second.

TERRENCE HENLEY WAS VERY VERY NASTY WORK BY PAUL WILLIAMS AND NO D LMAOOOO

 

[umhurricano]

Scott Patchan is still playing college football, right?

 

[TallyCane]

RJ McIntosh and Kendrick Norton might have been our best DT combo in the last 10-15 years

Yep and it today’s era we could pay them to come back instead of being 5th and 7th round picks.

 

[Golsen82]

Scott Patchan is still playing college football, right?

He and McCormick are playing rummy at the local nursing home

 

[Golsen82]

We coulda gone after Lamar, but Golden wanted a new Shireff in town!
I said it!

 

[mosthated305]

I remember Patchan being a more highly rated recruit than a 3 star.

You might be thinking of his older turncoat brother Matt who signed with Meyer and UF in 2008. He was a 5 star. Was mostly injured at UF, didn't live up to hype and ended his career at BC and later went undrafted.
