The Dawg's View has it's say on the recruiting class - powerfully

UGA didn't NEED to add a bunch of flashy 5-star recruits to its offense. You know where UGA could use a 5-star player? At QB. Guess what.....Aaron Murray was a 5-star recruit. Apparently, he was good enough out of highschool to potentially push for all-conference recognition. Now, he's had a year of seasoning at the college level. He should be REALLY REALLY good. That's if recruiting rankings mean anything. Oh yeah...and Lonnie Outlaw, the last-minute pull who's going to Hargrave first....remember his name in 2011. It just might be more well-covered than Da'Rick Rogers.

Do note that averaging a 30-ish ranking gets you put in the «Trailing» category in the SEC. It puts you in ninth or tenth place in the conference's talent order. That's how competitive recruiting is in this conference. By comparison, 30-ish is where Oklahoma State, the third best team in the Big 12 in 2009, has ended up over the last four seasons. A rank of 30 in one season still puts you in the top 75% of college football.

AJC looks at UGA's class

Todd Grantham got some nice pieces to play with as he revamps the defense. Freakish athletes such as Jakar Hamilton and Alec Ogletree could contribute quickly and several defensive linemen were added.

«At the end of the day, it's not about rankings, it's about filling needs,» said recruiting expert Jamie Newberg. «Georgia has recruited as consistently as anyone in the country but every so often, you're going to have a year like this, where things don't go your way, for whatever reason. This year is a little different than what Georgia is used to. But I don't think it is a sign of things to come.»

17. Georgia. Two of the Bulldogs' top players were poached at the last moment, dropping them several notches.
