[QUOTE="GTRX7, post: 386444, member: 1045"] Some of these guys came around before I started following recruiting and, searching for some historical rankings, apparently before that recruiting ranking industry developed into what it is today. I found it especially hard to find info on Donnie Davis, Quincy Carter, and Joe Hamilton. Notably, those guys also came around before flunkgate and APR. (That said, those guys may all have come regardless - I am just pointing out that some things have changed since we recruited them.) Of the other guys you mentioned, here is what I found from ESPN's archives (some of these differ pretty significantly from some of your notes. That could just be different recruiting systems, but I just chose the first one that popped up on Google and, if anything, the fact that different systems rate guys so differently says something about the accuracy of the rating systems IMHO): Demarius Bilbo - #25 QB ([URL='http://www.espn.com/recruiting/s/2000topqbs.html']LINK[/URL]) Josh Nesbitt - #37 QB ([URL='http://www.espn.com/college-sports/football/recruiting/player/_/id/36734/joshua-nesbitt']LINK[/URL]) Steven Threet - # 64 QB ([URL='http://www.espn.com/college-sports/football/recruiting/player/_/id/36750/steven-threet']LINK[/URL]) Sean Renfree - #43 QB ([URL='http://www.espn.com/college-sports/football/recruiting/player/_/id/49733/sean-renfree']LINK[/URL]) For comparison, I also took a look at some of CPJ's better QB commits. Seems most of them are rated by ESPN as "athletes" instead of QBs, but they are ranked very much in the same ballpark at their position (better actually) than the Gaily QBs. Vad Lee - #16 athlete ([URL='http://www.espn.com/college-sports/football/recruiting/player/_/id/102975/vad-lee']LINK[/URL]) Justin Thomas - # 18 athlete ([URL='http://www.espn.com/college-sports/football/recruiting/player/_/id/116364/justin-thomas']LINK[/URL]) Jaylend Ratliffe - # 37 athlete ([URL='http://www.espn.com/college-sports/football/recruiting/player/_/id/188237/jaylend-ratliffe']LINK[/URL]) Jay Jones - # 48 athlete ([URL='http://www.espn.com/college-sports/football/recruiting/player/_/id/208403/jay-jay-jones']LINK[/URL]) James Graham - #30 athlete ([URL='http://www.espn.com/college-sports/football/recruiting/player/_/id/218566/james-graham']LINK[/URL]) Given what we are looking for out of a QB in CPJ's system, it looks like our recruiting is right on par with the recent guys you mentioned.
