[QUOTE="Techster, post: 61795, member: 360"] BTW, 247 ranks us as the #31 class so far. So two of the big 3 services rates us in or close to top 30. When was the last time that happened at this stage of the cycle? Not all 3 stars are the same. Someone like Will Bryan (one of the top 20 OLs for his position), Jaylend Ratliffe (4 star for ESPN, and ESPN top 300 player), Christian Philpott (ESPN 4 Star, #1 Ranked recruit for his area according to the regional newspaper), Tyler Cooksey (Top 30 player for his position), Brant Mitchell (One of the top LBs in the nation according to the Butkus Foundation), Mikell Lands-Davis (4 star according to 247) are on the higher end of the 3 star spectrum (some like Ratliffe, Lands-Davis, and Philpott are already 4 stars depending on the service). So that's 6 potential 4 stars in this class already, 3 already designated 4 stars by various services. If you look at the tape, those are guys that exhibit elite skillsets for their positions. I'm not a recruiting expert, but I do watch a lot of film...and it's my opinion based on their film and rankings by various services that we are indeed doing a lot better than we have in the past. A lot of the teams ranked ahead of us (like BC and Syracuse) have like 20+ commits compared to our 14 so they have more points. At the end of the day it will all be determined on the field, but I think a consensus is building that GT is definitely doing a lot better than we have in the past with higher level of players.
