If in fact our D and O lines end up playing to a C+/C respectively, we are in a world of hurt. 

Curious how some of our recruiting guru's feel about the grades given by AL.com.

" Curious how some of our recruiting guru's feel about the grades given by AL.com."   Consider the source. Bammers.com knows little and cares less about AU recruiting unless they want to ridicule us. Our class is top-10 in the nation according to national rating services.. To hell with bammers.com.

Quick example: "F" on TE/H-back: Since we have three TE and two H-back returning, why would we want to sign another? Take a crack at a top-5 national guy, sure. Go beat the bushes for someone just to fill a slot? Not needed.

Don't worry about the linemen. We had the luxury of redshrting a lot of top linemen on both sides of the ball last year. We recruited to need and have done very well so far. We also still have six, or possibly seven more slots that can be filled. February would be a good time for an analysis.

Yep...that's the key...and still a chance to pick up a few guys in Feb so by AU standards this looks like a good class IMO  

As for comparing to Georgia....they have about 30 seniors this year and will lose just about everyone who was truly important to their success...and about the same number of juniors.  Good to have that experience but a lot of guy leaving this year and next.
