[QUOTE="Techster, post: 386532, member: 360"] I've always considered Vad and Justin a 4 Star. They were both rated 4 stars by one of the services. Vad didn't leave on the greatest terms, but we all saw a glimpse of what he could have been had he committed himself. 2012 season had every GT fan excited about his future. Even in 2013 there were some performances that gave us excitement about his future. When you say "some of those guys were way over ranked", that's with the benefit of hindsight. Donnie Davis signed with the intentions of playing for Friedgen, but he was wasted by Lewis. The one year he actually played for Ralph, GT finally got a glimpse of what could have been. Donnie was instrumental in helping O'Leary rebuild GT after the Lewis fiasco. Donnie ended up having a really good career in the Arena League. It's a shame GT didn't hire O'Leary as Ross's successor to start with. Joe Hamilton deserved every bit of his top 5 dual threat QB ranking...if not exceeded it. Quincy Carter played up to his ranking...unfortunately for UGA, and not for GT. But we had Hamilton, so a win for us. Carter ended up getting drafted in the 2nd round. Nesbitt was First Team All-ACC, and helped us to an ACC Championship and an OB. He's still the only QB under CPJ to win an ACC Championship. Well deserving of his 4 star ranking. Threet was actually pretty talented. He just had the misfortune of transferring to schools that ended up hiring Spread Option coaches. (Seriously, read his history...you kinda feel sorry for him). Did he deserve his ranking? Maybe not, but in the right system he would have been pretty good. Bilbo never really got a grip on the playbook from what I understand, but he was talented enough to play WR for GT and even had a pro career with the Cowboys. Of the QBs I listed, his performance was probably the furthest from his recruiting rankings. Renfree was a 3 year starter at Duke, and had a good career. He ended up getting drafted by the Falcons. You can be the judge if those guys deserved their rankings or not, but IMO, it appears GT's hit rate was better than average. [/QUOTE]
