This is why it's hard to keep up with SEC teams

(Alternate thread title: Why we recruit out of state so much.)

It's shocking how many talented recruits some of the southern states have. I mean, everyone knows about Florida. But who would've thought that the state of Georgia has thirty-six recruits ranked with either 4 or 5 stars. And several times that many three star recruits. Just click on the Rivals link below and search on Georgia and then Florida (and then Nebraska). How could a team like Georgia or Georgia Tech *not* put together a top five class from that? (And how could Georgia get beat by the likes of Nebraska in the Gator Bowl? LOL)

Number of 4* and 5* recruits per state:

• Georgia: thirty-six 4* and 5* recruits from high schools and Jucos in Georgia

• Florida: fifty-seven 4* and 5* recruits from high schools and Jucos in Florida

• Nebraska: zero 4* and 5* recruits from high schools and Jucos in Nebraska

Just think, some wanted Nebraska to hire Mark Richt.

I Know that they over sign but this is the first time I have seen the numbers posted like this. So will they basically cut ten or more players to get down to the limit after they see who signs?

You have to factor the amount of guys who declare early for the draft also.

Talent development. It's a must.... The difference between a high 3* and a 5* can be made up with elite development. ....

Just for reference, within the same period, Tennessee has only had 5 leave early for the NFL.

Yea I understand, I was just stating that most those teams listed have several guys leave early fairly often.

Potentially, but not necessarily when you factor in players leaving early for the draft, JUCO players, and attrition (players who transfer/quit).

 

[Huskinator]

We've had jucos and players leave based on attrition so if they are still that much higher then is...it's still cutting players. Remember that...plus how many jucos do tenn, Georgia, bama, auburn and such actually get

What about Oregon? There aren't too many 4 and 5 star guys coming from that state.

Waiting for the excuses....
