My grades for the '08 class, plus best national position classes

stxbuck

Woody wore Sambas
My grades for this class, plus best position classes nationally
My grades for this class position by position

QB- wanted/needed 0-1, got-? If we get Pryor, A+, if not, incomplete b/c we didn't recruit anyone else
Best national -Miami-3 really good prospects, Mizzou,FSU,ND,Oklahoma signed 1 big timer each

RB-needed 1, plus 1 FB got-0/1, 1 FB I'll give this position a C, b/c the coaches did not want Thomas to play at RB, but he might be forced to by depth, Martin was a good pickup at FB, if Torrence doesn't screw up, this would have been an A
Best national-Oklahoma got the 2 best backs in Texas, including Jeremie Calhoun, the #2 RB in the nation, Colorado signed Darrell Scott (his UNCLE is a freshman w/ the Buffs)

WR/TE-needed 2/3+ 1 TE, got 3/4- Phenomenal talent, but potentially only 1 true WR if Thomas=RB, Stoneburner=TE, and Johnson=S. Still, I give the class an A for talent, including DeLillo
Best national-Alabama-Julio Jones plus 3 or 4 other really good prospects-Burton Scott and Melvin Ray, Miami-Aldarius Johnson-Top 100 type plus Tommy Streeter and a couple of bitty burners. Georgia signed AJ Greene from South Carolina, perhaps the least hyped mega-talent WR this year, plus some other good prospects. ND signed Floyd and 2 other really good prospects.

OL-needed 4, got 3 Best talent in the country, but I refuse to give an A to a class w/ less than 4 members A- !
Best national- tOSU and USC can fight it out, tOSU has better pound for pound talent, but USC signed 5 studs.

DL needed 4, got 5 Can't argue one bit w/ tOSU's haul. A+++!!!!
Best national- tOSU's class is extemely good, but USC just might have signed the top 2 DE's in the nation in Nick Perry and Wes Horton, along w/ several other top prospects. Clemson might have signed the best inside-out combo w/ Daequan Bowers and Brandon Williams.

LB- needed 1/2, got 2 Sabino is a monster and Sweat is a stud. A+
Best national- Miami signed Arthur Brown, the #1 LB in the country plus a whole slew of 200lb headhunters from Florida-numbers and sick talent. FSU and ND have really nice groups too.

DB- needed 1/2, got 1/2 Howard is a big time CB, Johson a nice safety prospect A
Best national- Texas and LSU each signed a big time group, Florida signed the 2 best safeties in the country w/ Will Hill and Dee Finley.

Apparently Liuget sent out a false signal about signing w/ the Gators, now he is an Indianhead, but Hunter also might decommit from the Gators now, and sign w/ the Dawgs, I will have to revise my list accordingly.....

Excellent post. Nice summary. Useful composite comparison tool. Appreciate the effort. Thanks!
Note: Brandon (Thompson) I think instead of Williams.
