It really depends on how you look at it. Something like 22 players for that class will start or contribute this year, which is a pretty amazing stat given the attrition of these highly rated players.Oddly enough, it's turned out to be a great class for OM.nsvltndog said:Nutt's 2009 class of 37 originally looked like this.
1 - 5 star0 remaining
4- 4 star 1 remaining
25 - 3 star 16 remaining
7 - 2 star All 7 are remaining
They've had a really nice retention rate on the 2 stars.
This class was ranked #17 nationally. I don't know if they do re-rankings, but in looking at the original 2009 Scout rankings, this class would probably rank somewhere between the #29 ranked Rutgersclass with 1 - 4star and 19 - 3 stars and the #44 Baylor class with 1 - 4 star and 13- 3 stars.
I've seen a lot of focus on the demise of their 2009 class, but upon doing a little research this evening I was very pleased to see how well our 2009 class has held up in comparison.
We signed 8 - 4 star recruits. All 8 are still on the roster
We signed 15 - 3 star recruits. All 15 are still on the roster
We signed 4- 2 star recruits. Only 1 is on the roster - Jonathan McKenzie. Darius Slay has recommitted for 2011 class and is now a 3 star. Billy Hamilton is playing minor league baseball somewhere. The only one I have no clue about is Madrecus Hood - a 2 star recruit out of Alabama.
Our intact class was ranked #19 and I think has really good things ahead of them.
Behind a bigger OL, and that he'd be the next chapter in "powerful South Panola RBs that never really do anything" story. His part is right after Jeramie Griffin (went to bama). When I watched Pegues I thought "Man that guy is fast enough to play on any team in the country," but I never got that feeling with Tig.Xenomorph said:..you never thought he was a great prospect despite his numbers because you thought his off the field issues would catch up with him or were you never impressed with him as a potential D-1 athlete?
