Which school best prepares their players for the NFL?

Now it's time for that to translate into winning SEC's and making the playoffs.
Well, according to our resident UGa fans, that's as good as a decade long dynasty right there.
Georgia just recruits good. They don’t really develop much once they get there. That has been a historical problem at UGA through the Goff, Donnan, Richt and now Smart years
Yeah, like that 3 star Jim Thorpe Award winner. The best center in the league last year was a DL recruit of Richt. The 2 star safety that graded out as the best safety in the SEC in 2018. The 2018 freshman all American DL that wasn't a top 250 rated player. Eric Stokes also says hello.
One post it's all about their 4-5 star recruits that are the best in the SEC.
Then the next post it's about 2-3 stars that are playing ahead of the 4-5 stars.
Snakes and UGly leghumpers both have forked tongues, to facilitate yappin' out of both sides of their mouth...

Fyi, 2 of those were Richt recruits that Smart developed. You can throw Butkus Award winner Roquan Smith to that list.
I don't know about this. This can't be a one year result, and the coaching staff has been hot garbage for a long time before this past year.
I wonder if it's really a good measure of player development, or if it's that Florida has been good at finding underrated recruits.
So, 4th & Dumbs 4-5 stars couldn't beat out the Retch's 2-3 star recruits... Got it...
Its an impossible thing to measure. Obviously amny teams could take many stats to prove their case.
And as we all know, stats don't mean a thing unless they improve or confirm your own arguments and/or support your own bias,,, then they are SOLID GOLD!!!
-- Considering Dan Mullen is the greatest developer of talent in college football, I seem to be having trouble finding Mississippi State on your list. How is that possible?
BS list. Only looks at Top 247 players recruited - it should look also at how many 2-3 star players were developed into drafted players
It's that "Lies, damn lies, and statistics!" problem that always haunts analysis. Linking numbers and causation is fraught with fallacies.
These statistics provided from "247" probably cover the last 12 years in order to have any hope at achieving validity. If so you are looking at Mark Richt's tenure at GEORGIA. If it covers two years with Smart's recruits then you have primarily Richt's recruits put into a system they were not recruited to play in. More significantly, conclusions predicated on 2 or 3 years of statistics carry essentially no validity.
In short, the thesis presented touting FLORIDA's perceived " excellence" is inherently flawed in terms of offering any "order of probability" projecting the future of football recruits, but the statistics and subsequent thesis are beneficial as a psychological remedy for fans in hopes of reducing cognitive dissonance.

When trying to sound smart goes wrong. This reads like someone who looked up a bunch of words they don’t understand while putting together a word salad of a post. Good job.
It appears that I just might have been correct all along about Gator TE Moral Stephens.
McLame never used him enough nor developed him as he should have been. Under Mullen, He finished his rsSr season with 8 catches for 106 yds, 3 TD's, tied for 4th on the team in TD's.
"It's a tragedy that we don't have him for longer, where he can get a real offseason to let his body develop," Mullen said. "He might have a future even beyond this year if he decides to work at it. I think he's just scratching the surface for what his development could have been."
