Honestly, I am stoked about this OL class, especially when we add Hall.
Btw CB40, Burfict is the #3 player, followed by Patrick Hall, who is amazing as well. I think NC is only behind CA in terms of top notch talent. I agree with you 100% on Wood...I think he is a great player, but I had 5 players ahead of him in Simon, Fellows, Barnett, Hall, and Klein. Wood showed up to all of the Rivals events and he showed well, which helped his cause a lot. I believe Simon, Fellows, Barnett, and Klein didn't show up to their combines, which really hurt them. I honestly think if Simon came, he would be a 5 star, being the physical freak he is. Fellows possibly as well. As far as Klein, he didn't show up to combines but mostly, he isn't a combine warrior anyways imo. He is a player that is amazing on film and is always going to show up on Friday nights with big plays. He will probably stay in the 150-200 range and absolutely blow up at OSU. Whiting and Bell get alot of the hoopla, deservingly so, but I personally think Klein could end up being the best on the field, though I'm VERY high on Bell. |
Mewhort looked outstanding at the Cleveland Browns stadium camp. Better than Hall IMO. How they pan out long term is anyones guess.

Scout is in the process of updating their rankings right now....oh and if it ends up being legit that Jordan Whiting was bumped all the way down to #362 overall on Scout I MIGHT throw up....

Florida has the depth, but lacks the star power at the top this year...I would have the top 4 on the list as 5 stars, but after that you are looking at some solid 4 stars...Not that it is a horrible year, just down in terms of what is usually expected from Florida...
As for the 5 stars on Rivals, you are only looking at 24 guys right now...Some might question Evans and Carroll in terms of being in the top 24 as I don't have either quite that high, but they are legit players, and Carroll is a very good player...Won the 100M in Cali...

it appears as such. jordan hall also dropped out of the top 300. adam homan got downgraded to 2*, and adam bellamy dropped 8 spots in the DT rankings. |

Although, they did bump up both Clarke and Fields to 4*. I think everybody else dropped at least a few spots except Carter which went from #299 to #232. Even Hall and Berry dropped a little bit. |

Until they show me otherwise, I will trust the coaches over the rankings... After all Malcolm jenkins was a 3 * and justin king (never lived up) and demitrius morley (Academic all-star of tenn.) were fivers... I'd bring up JL too but I can't really talk too much trash about Rey "Illegal head shots" Maualuga.
These new bucks will succeed regardless star rankings.

Agreed. I would only have McDaniel, DeBose, and Berry as 5 stars. Murray is borderline imo. Evans and Carroll are good, but not 5 stars imo, especially when you look at who is below them (DeBose, Boyd, etc.).

I have Trent Richardson higher than Berry and the one that I had as top 4...Not as high on Murray as some...
