You need to go back and look again there wasn't a lot of 4 or 5 star OLineman out there. I will school you.
All of these are OLinemen so I'm not putting their positions, besides AU may change that. The position rankings are national.
First Juco
Killian Zierer 3 star - Ranked #3 at his position
Brenden Coffey 3 star Ranked #4 at his position
HS
Avery Jernigan 3 star ranked #25 at his position
Tate Johnson 3 star ranked #27 at his position
Jeremia Wright 3 star ranked #40 at his position
To me, position rankings are more important than the stars that means out of all the High School kids the lowest we got at Offensive guard was ranked #40. Yeah, he may be ranked total #663 but he's an offensive guard they don't get the love the skill players do.
Would have loved to have 5 star Jones, but all I'm saying is this class has some good beef.
Let me counter your counter with some schoolifying of my own.
I get the #3 and #4 at their positions for Zierer and Coffey. They're also 290 and 275 pounds respectively. Jack Driscoll at best??? Avery Jernigan is 278. Where's the beef, there Wendy? None of that will remotely cut it in the SEC. They're projects until they all put on 25 -35 pounds at least.
Gawd forbid I use these scumbags and actually looked at their 247 page. But....Fuck Georgia, by contrast:
Broderick Jones
6'5" 300 5*
Tate Ratledge
6'6" 322 4*
Sheldon Van Pran
6'4" 305 4*
Chad Lindberg
6'6" 327 4*
Devin Willock
6'6" 345 3*
We got numbers. Not a lot of size or quality. (On paper, I get it) I'm sorry but this staff has done a great job everywhere the past few years except O-line. That's why we haven't had a 1,000 rusher for 2 years, a given every year under Gus, and we go into this year with no glimmer and a little hope.
