How much SEC talent do we have?

[Uncle Ruckus]

Exclude true and redshirt freshman because we have no idea what we have in them. Simmons could be Quay Evans for all we know.
QB - 0
RB - Williams has shown he could be capable of being a a solid SEC back. Haven't seen enough out of Lee to make that conclusion.
WR - Ross, Dear, maybe Gray. Gray may be a practice HoFer for all we know because he hasn't shown me much.
TE - 0
OL - Clayborn, maybe Jenkins and Calhoun. I don't notice the good play as much as I notice the bad, and these three seem to suck the least. I'm really only comfortable saying Clayborn is the only SEC talent we have.
DL - Jefferson, Thomas, Calvin and Coleman are pushes due to lack of pt
LB - Leo, Brown, maybe Green. Where was he Saturday and what has he done to say he's a good player?
DB - Bryant, maybe McLaurin and Durr

I may have forgot some players and I may be basin this too much off Saturday. But that's the only proven, solid SEC players we have that aren't freshman. Thoughts? I know some of you are going to say (insert freshman) is blah blah blah. We don't know **** about these freshman or than what bs recruiting sites tell us and the sunshine pumping media tells us since our arrogant, yankee jackass doesn't allow people to watch practice

We have WAAAAYYYYY too many players with only Sun Belt, MAC and/or UK offers.

That 2013 recruiting class is killing us. We enrolled 20 players and have 7 available players on the team (Cleveland doesn't count since he's out for the season with a knee). Nine players quit or transferred. Wilson and Jones left early. Shumpert has played out of position for 4 years. Dez Harris has torn three ACLs.

This will by far go down as Mullen's worst class despite having two of the best WRs in recent history.

I was wondering which class it was that was 17ing us and you nailed it. Had a lot of OL in that one too right? I know in general we had lots of attrition on the OL.

I'll tell you this much. The lack of talent is so bad that I do not trust this coach or this staff to take advantage of what is about to happen to the bears.

 

[thatsbaseball]

This is a huge consideration .

 

[kired]

We signed three - Clayborn, then Flowers and Jake Thomas who are both gone. That's the year we lost the OL from South Panola like a week before signing day. Seems like we missed another one or two we'd targeted that year.

Williams was at least our 4th option at QB. Sandberg, Josh Dobbs, and the guy that signed with Houston (think he transferred after a good freshman year)

Ditto. We have a huge opportunity here to do some major damage to their program. But like you I don't see it happening either.

HF may beat us with a 60 man roster.

meanwhile Dylan Bradley is kicking *** and taking names with the Mustard Buzzards. Not good enough for MSU. **** we almost passed on AJ Jefferson.

Yes. Dylan Bradley was an awful awful miss.

HF may beat us with a 60 man roster.

Here's an exercise: figure out how many scholarships you think they will lose, take that many players from the bottom of their 2016 recruiting class, and then compare their class to ours. You can even add those players to our class if you want.

Spoiler alert: they still have the better class

 

[aTotal360]

I love the myth about how their classes are "front end loaded". I'd take the backend of their classes all day long.

 

[Palos verdes]

We're tied with Arkansas as last in the West, in terms of star talent.
