Not sure how many of you were following recruiting 10 years ago, but it's interesting to see who made it into USA Today's coverage following NSD in 2005. Obviously, Perrilloux was big news around here a few weeks into the Miles Era. Some other names stand out, too.

What a Merry Flipmas Perrilloux was.

Without looking it up, who were the two players that were supposed to be a package deal with Perrilloux?

Oh man Fred Rouse. He was billed as teh next Randy Moss but could never stay out of trouble.
Some pretty solid talent on that roster of All Americans.

I would give you a hint but I'm too distracted by your avi now

Was it Powe? The big DT that ended up at Ole Miss. Didn't he commit to the tigers on tv at the army game?

Found it interesting that the piece mentiones Phillip Fulmer's new $2M contract making him one of the highest paid coaches in America.
Things have changed dramatically in 10 years. If we keep Perriloux in the program there's no telling how good he could have been. A real shame!

Interesting to look back to compare REALITY to projections.
Tenn, Neb, and Michigan were the projected big winners. All three coaches are gone due to lack of production, and all three schools have not recovered.
Ahhhhhhh, recruiting experts.

I understand what you're saying, but I wouldn't call it a mistake by Miles to sign the No 1 recruit. His talent could be evaluated, but his decision making in the future is unknown, as it is with all recruits.
But the impact has been a negative for years.

"I want to go in and throw for about 1,500 yards, maybe 2,000, and rush for 700, maybe 1,000," Perrilloux said. "With the great defense and the offense, I could definitely be a Heisman winner next year or at least a candidate."

I understand you still take him to this day. Period. He was that talented. But the decision to take him has killed us.
NO way to know what impact he had on us. Just bad luck.

well, it not only ushered it in. It sped it up too fast.
Neither of them were ready to play at that early of their development.

Exactly.
You ever wonder how it would have turned out if Hatch hadn't been injured against Auburn? Not saying he would have been a world-beater, but it would have kept Lee out of the mix a little longer, maybe helping him develop a little better.
