This may be a more appropriate story for our resident recruiting expert, Kensingtondawg. Kensingtondawg really keeps up with this year round; I typically don’t start looking at recruiting until after the season is over with.
ESPN.com has its early rankings out on the 2010 class. The Dawgs are currently listed at #3. I found it surprsing that Tennessee had the 5th best class.
I was curiours, so I went back and looked on the site about UGA’s previous classes, going back to 2006. I also wondered who were the highlighted players from each class. You decide how that class panned out.
Year Rank Key Players (as of Signing Day)
2006 4 Matthew Stafford, Knowshon Moreno, Reshad Jones
2007 13 Trinton Sturdivant, Chris Little, Israel Troupe, Logan Gray
2008 5 A.J. Green, Carlton Thomas, Deangelo Tyson, Toby Jackson, Richard Samuel
2009 6 Marlon Brown, Washaun Ealey, Aaron Murray, Zach Mettenburger, Branden Smith, Orson Charles
What do you think?

Go Dawgs!
The one that has paid off the best so far has to be 2008. AJ alone makes that class the best. Sure Stafford and Moreno were great, but really all they did was beat florida and a severly overrated Hawaii team in he sugar bowl. The next year could be considered one of the biggest let down seasons ever. Even if we hadn’t been ranked number 1 it still would have been a let down considering who we had on the team. the 2009 class has shown alot of promise. I’m really pumped about seeing how Orson Charles grows into the Tight End role that has been so pivitol to our offense since CMR has been here.
