2009 Class. My thoughts.
CB 98 Carl Miles - Done Nothing
S NR Lance Richardson - Done Nothing
DE 57 Izaan Cross - Showed potential but has disappeared. Just an average NCAA DE
DE 51 Euclid Cummings - Backup
WLB 46 Julian Burnett - Good NCAA player
QB 54 David Sims - average NCAA RB
OG 27 Antonio Foster - Nothing
WR 23 Stephen Hill - potential untapped
RB 112 Orwin Smith - Exceed Expectations, good recruit
S 70 Jemea Thomas - Good NCAA player
CB 22 Roderick Sweeting - Good NCAA player
OG 65 Raymond Beno - backup
OG 26 Will Jackson - average NCAA G
DE 68 Chris Crenshaw - backup
WR 176 Jeremy Moore - who?
FB 5 Daniel Drummond - really hasn't done much
OG 40 Jay Finch - below avg NCAA C
QB 26 Jordan Luallen - nothing
WLB 30 Brandon Watts - everyone said potential and has showed not much; backup
DE 66 Emmanuel Dieke backup
DT 25 J.C. Lanier backup
out of this class, of which 3 years in the program, only 3-4 are good players, none as of today have NFL prospect tied to their name yet (still time), and the rest are either backups, gone or just kinda average players
Out of this many recruits, by now we should have seen at least 1-2 sure fire NFL players. But really....its none. No one is sure fire draft pick.
So to me, its a big class, a bunch of backups, almost like a depth builder but only a couple really good players. Not that great a class.
this is either development, or misses IMO
But, granted, some kids still have 2 more years to show out and become draft potential. So we still will see.
