Like all major league sports the draft only comes along once a year. The difference with national signing day is that the players have all te say in what school they will attend. Today was a great day for these young men to decide their future's and have a chance to hand pick through tons of offers.
As I look at the Top 5 or so schools over the next few days I will make sure to highlight the instant impact players and what expectations we can see from the young men that look to make a successful jump to the next level.
I will start things out with my #5 team the University of Georgia. UGA really surprised a lot of people with the talent that they picked up today. The headliners were #1 ranked running back Isaiah Crowell, #1 weakside defensiv end Ray Drew, the top 2 defensive backs Malcolm Mitchell and Damian Swann.
This class is loaded top to bottom. UGA got help on the defensive line in order to solidify a pash rush for this new 3-4 defense. The secondary got a highly underated Nick Marshall who is one of the best athletes in the country. UGA bolstered the offensive line as well as adding talent to a wide recieving corp that losses the likes of A.J. Green. The biggest signing was Isaiah Crowell, who I think will start from day 1 and give the offense a running game that will further assist a very talented true sophomore Qb Aaron Murray.
The most impactful recurit may have yet to sign in Jonathan Jenkins. This massive man at 6'4 330 lbs is perfect for the 3-4 defense and essential in really making the 3-4 successful. His talent, if signed would pay dividends the very first game of the season.
I see this without a doubt beeing the best signing class in at least a decade for UGA. What I will be looking for is an infusion of talent on the defensive side of the ball with talented linebackers coming in as well as defensive line help and corners that are deference makers. Offense needed to add depth on the offenive line and get a game changer in the running back position. I see UGA being the under dog to win the SEC East as Florida transitions to coaching changes.
Make sure to click on the videos below of a few of the headliners and maybe some you have not seen.....
