[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 518867, member: 282"] Assuming you mean Demetris Robertson, who went to Cal Berkeley and transferred to UGA. The admission requirements aren’t that different between Cal and Stanford. He was a 5* rated receiver. I don’t think he lived up his billing. He has rushing stats at UGA, but I couldn’t see any receptions. He was good at Cal, but I’m not sure what to make of that. I’m not sure Stanford turned him down—maybe so, but it’s hard to tell. He also had Notre Dame lined up. He was “choosing between Stanford, Cal, Notre Dame, and Georgia Tech” on and after signing day. He also talked with UGA and Bama. That’s a weird story, but I’m not sure what to make of it. Had he gone to Stanford, he’d have been their highest rated recruit, but he wouldn’t have been their best. They also ended up with the #16 class without him. They’d have been top 10 if they had gotten him, but in retrospect they wouldn’t have been better, and they had no real need to make an exception for him (assuming that they didn’t, that is-there’s no way to tell). As much as we talk about recruiting, having the staff that can evaluate players better than the recruiting services is much more important than the number of stars and the class rank. The recruiting services are probably fairly close, but I’m sure Clemson has a better eye for talent than 247 or Rivals. If there’s a reason to build up staff, it’s for finding players that fit. If we start recruiting well and finding cohesive groups of talented players, maybe we’ll stop talking about Stanford and Cal and UNC and Duke, for football at least.
