After that, I'd have to say the four DT's were a huge addition too.

I agree with this....The class has so many good players we wont know until they actually play who was the best get. That being said the two biggest needs were WR & DT. Beating out Clemson for Robinson was huge especially since he was an EE. Also beating out Miami for Bostwick was a huge win.

Robinson has all the makings of an All SEC WR.

Bostwick is just a special football player on the DL

Here's how I see it, this years class is loaded in talent across the board. Each guy is gonna do special things as individuals, but I believe they are the foundation for a few crystal balls coming our way.

Our class is loaded across the board at every position, and then I looked at Bama's class and still don't see how they are ahead of us, not that it matters to me. I wouldn't trade our class for theirs I can tell you that.

The name you'll probably recognize instantly is Kelvin Taylor, son of Fred. Early enrollee, very well-regarded at running back.

If you're looking for potential instant impact talent at a position of need, Demarcus Robinson might be the guy at receiver. Decent size, good speed, excellent route runner and an early enrollee.

Just think how much better these two players will make each other? Hargreaves vs Robinson each day in practice!

[GatorJaws]

If I had to pick one. It would be Hargreaves without a doubt. That talent is Percy like but on defense.

[DieAGator]

no good way to pick a single player, should best 3-5.

[medigator]

Marcell Harris may surprise some people !

[Go2gtr]

Hargreaves, without a doubt IMO.

Big man crush on Adam Lane. Love his film, love his running style. I think he is going to prove to be our best back, maybe as soon as next year.

Better than Kelvin Taylor?

[Pieisyummy]

Anzalone.

[AFCyberGator]

Punter Johnny Townsend. Take that, Urban Meyer and Nick Saban!

We really addressed Depth at every postion, but the question is if I understand Correctly is what was our best get, I equate that with need and we really needed some play makers at reciever so I will go with that group. If you asked me who I thought is the best player and will see the field first VH3 Is in a class by himself and the number one ranked at his postion.

I think Matt Jones is going to be up there with Yeldon Gurley & Hill next year.

Ahead of Morrison? Doubt that. Makes more sense to move Morrison inside and Anzalone outside to replace Jenkins. Jelani was also an honor student and a high football IQ kind of guy. That definitely paid off with his coverage skills. He's probably not as fast, but Alex has very good length and seems to be a good coverage guy. I like him at Will and that's one of the biggest losses. I see very little drop off from Bostic to Morrison.

Any chance Anzalone gets some reps on offense? He'd be a heck of an H-Back.

Don't count out McMillan, since he's also going to be playing in the spring. Very physical and versatile LB.

Morrison is going to the middle but he has to gain weight this off season

I think Anzalone's best position is H-back but he wants to play LB and we have a real need for LB depth. Staff really likes Ball so it looks like Morrison and Ball will start. It will be an interesting battle between Anzaolone McMcMillan & J Powell

There's another thread somewhere about who is likely to make the earliest impact. Let's make sure we made a distinction here.

There's no question that VH3 is the best athlete and the best player at his position in this class. He has the highest ceiling and may make the biggest long term impact. He gets lost in the shuffle because we are so often focused on replacing important players or shoring up areas of weakness. We have great CBs and didn't lose any, but getting VH allows us to move one or more of our current CBs to other positions. It's also possible that he makes an immediate impact as a return specialist.

Kelvin Taylor is a huge get by any definition. He's one of the best RB prospects in the country, he fits our offense perfectly, he replaces the most prolific player on our offense and he's an EE. He could start from the get-go and could become the focal point of our offense for years to come.

Robinson is next in my book, for most of the reasons Taylor is, but also because of his catching radius, strength and advanced development. Biggest thing for Robinson is the fact that we don't have a playmaker at WR. We don't even have a reliable possession WR. He could turn out to be both.

I can't single out any other players. There are lots of great ones, but the true success of this class is the aggregate recruiting at multiple positions of need, especially OL, WR, DL, LB and safety. Quantity and quality abound. Competition at those positions will be intense for years.

I am not ready to say VH3 has the highest ceiling we have some special athletes in this class
