Rivals.com top 25 breakdown
1. Southern Cal 24 Allen Bradford In action Includes seven of California's 10 best and it's littered with blue chips from coast-to-coast. 2. Florida 27[list] Percy Harvin In action Fought USC to the finish ... more 1a and 1b than 1 and 2. Clearly the year's best classes. 3. Florida State 30[list] Myron Rolle In action Another fast and furious close; it's long on numbers – 30 signatures in all. 4. Georgia 27[list] Matt Stafford In action Reshad Jones' pledge on Wednesday finishes off what fellow five-star Stafford started in the summer. 5. Texas 25[list] Sergio Kindle In action In-state dominance. The Longhorns "selected" more than they "recruited" inside the Lone Star State. 6. Penn State 24[list] A.J. Wallace In action Couldn't have done much better: Seven of the top 10 recruits in Maryland and eight D-linemen. 7. LSU 25[list] Al Woods In action Who says Les Miles isn't fit to follow Nick Saban? Nine of Louisiana's top 10 will suit for the Tigers. 8. Notre Dame 27[list] Sam Young In action Charlie Weis proves his recruiting acumen may be as sharp as his play-calling. 9. Oklahoma 28[list] Gerald McCoy In action Filling O-line needs and closing with in-state studs McCoy and Jermaine Gresham were huge. 10. Auburn 25[list] Benjamin Tate In action The Tigers are the SEC's quiet assassins, assembling another deep group of supreme athletes. 11. Alabama 23[list] Andre Smith In action The knock on this year's Tide team was offensive line. Andre Smith is here to answer. 12. Ohio State 20[list] Chris Wells In action RB Chris Wells is the impact guy; the depth comes from four four-star linebackers. 13. Michigan 19[list] Brandon Graham In action Four-star DB Jonas Mouton was a late coup in a sturdy class. 14. Miami (Fla.) 22[list] Tervaris Johnson In action It's a decent class but it's the first for the Hurricanes to rank outside of our top 10 this decade. 15. Clemson 20[list] C.J. Spiller In action Pulled off one of Signing Day's biggest surprises when they landed Spiller, the No. 1 player in Florida. 16. Ole Miss 29[list] Brent Schaeffer In action Quarterback Brent Schaeffer comes with five stars and previous SEC experience. 17. UCLA 22[list] Micah Kia In action Four four-star offensive linemen headline another solid effort for Karl Dorrell and Co. 18. Arizona 25[list] Louis Holmes In action Classes like this are the reason Mike Stoops is here; the impact will be on the defensive side. 19. California 20[list] Derrick Hill In action It's a well-balanced class loaded with great athletes. 20. Nebraska 22[list] Andre Jones In action The receivers have a chance to have the most impact, along with five-star DB Andre Jones. 21. Pittsburgh 25[list] Dorin Dickerson In action The Panthers bulked up on in-state commitments with six four-star signees. 22. Oklahoma State 28[list] Perrish Cox In action OSU made Texas a priority and brought in four Rivals250 defenders from the Lone Star State. 23. Tennessee 22[list] Walter Fisher In action Down year for the Vols; still picked up Fisher and two four-star offensive linemen. 24. South Carolina 24[list] Garrett Anderson In action The Gamecocks addressed a major need with four four-star linemen. 25. Texas A&M 22[list] Michael Goodson In action Want skill position players? Try four RBs, four WRs, four DBs and two athletes. Last edited by SFL Cat : 02-02-2006 at 12:37 PM. |

First was the big Peach Bowl loss, then there was the firing of four assistants, now a lacklustre recruiting class....anyone want to speculate that Miami's Larry Coker might be on the hot seat next season?

Wow... Urban Meyer really stepped up to the plate. From all I've read he's got one Hell of a recruiting class, much better than Zook ever got.

They were #45 nationally with a couple 4 star recruits at RB and WR. Pretty good class IMO. |

Very nice, sounds promising. I was just reading over a couple of profiles on scarletknights.com. I'm only disappointed with the apparent lack of DB help.
Thanks guys. |

I'm ecstatic about Kentucky's recruiting class. Probably our best in 30 years.

Washington lands the #35 class according to both Scout.com and Rivals.com. Not bad for a team coming off of 1-10 and 2-9 seasons. Losing OL Steve Schilling to Michigan and RB James Montgomery decommitting and going to Cal hurt, but we still landed a stud QB and the top in-state guy in Jake Locker and some pretty good linemen. Now we just need to hope Locker doesn't go into pro baseball like previous UW QB commits Grady Sizemore and Matt Tuiasosopo.

The problem was that the two biggest DB studs in NJ (who also happened to be the top 2 players in the state - Myron Rolle, FSU, and Antwine Perez, USC) have been locked into their schools for a while. At least, RU never even had a chance with them. After them, the in-state prospects in the secondary were limited. We did pick up some nice out of state prospects though, in Zaire Kitchen, Julian Hayes, and Kevin Holloway. We loaded up on some great WRs (Kenny Britt, Shamar Graves, Tim Brown most notably) and a bunch of LBs who will either stay at the position or shift to DE or S. Very happy with the class. |
