True, but Vanderbilt is also at 1,000:1 and would probably have to beat Georgia, LSU, Florida, and Alabama next year to make the playoff, whereas Wake would have to beat Clemson and the murderers row of NC State, Syracuse, and Va Tech.

An inexact science at best.
 
Deondre Francois kicked off the FSU football team. The Noles have no one to play QB...

Did they recently have a high profile decommit at QB? Not sure if that was before the first signing day or not.
 
Not surprising, but Alabama and Georgia are cleaning the fuck up. Georgia flipped a 5-star WR from Hoover who's been committed to Auburn for seven months.

4 of the top 6 are SEC teams. Clemson only at #9. Texas and Texas A&M at 3 and 4.
 
247 Recruiting ranking since 2014 between and among Bama, UGA and Clemson:

2014: Bama #1, UGA #8, Clemson #24
2015: Bama #2, UGA #8, Clemson #10 (USC #1)
2016: Bama #1, Clemson #8, UGA #9 (FSU #2)
2017: Bama #1, UGA #5, Clemson #18
2018: UGA #1, Bama #5, Clemson #6

FWIW, USC, tOSU and FSU (except for 2018) were among the teams rated ahead of Clemson every year over the last 5 recruiting classes. Either Dabo is the best coach by a mile or the recruiting rankings can't be used to parse between who did better among the top 10+.

Clemson's guys seem to stay longer too, not just lat year either.

And Georgia was #1 last year with Justin Fields.
 
Keeping your recruits in the program is a key, but ignored factor for sustained success.

If they grant it to him, they'll have to grant it to everyone.
Look for a lot more transfers that will play immediately.

Also wasn't he the victim of racial epithets by a UGA baseball player? Seems like an easy case to make for hardship.

Yes, it was such a hardship he stayed at Georgia. If it was truly a hardship, he would have left. If it was/is such a horrible racist place, why doesn't his sister leave? This kid didn't have it handed to him, so he reacted.

This guy is a perfect example of someone who appears to have missed good guidance in his life. Chose Penn State, could have succeeded McSorely, but he decommitted. Chose Georgia, although the world knew it was unlikely he would see the field this season. Before the season, pundits talked about how he was better than Trevor Lawrence. One pundit said he was the best QB he had seen at camps in the last 10 years. So Lawrence went somewhere where he could play, and we see what happened. Fields believed the press and made a bad decision to go to Georgia, most everyone knew it was a questionable decision. He didn't play, so he used a bad incident to game the system and get out of UGA. The adults in his life who were advising him should have encouraged him to sit out a year, get acclimated to OSU without pressure, and come back ready to go next year. Now he has to immediately produce. We will see what happens, but it's not going to surprise me if he is not the slam dunk nation's best QB as he was touted to be.
