This has nothing to do with our complianceQuote:

They traditionally have not figured into your signing class. I think 247 is rating the portal. It does not do a good job of evaluating what you lost or even needed. So, a great portal class is good but what if you don't need it? I like to look at team talent composition but it won't be available for next year's team until team rosters are finalized. Here is last years:Quote:

Thank you. So when we took everything- signing class and portal, we were a composite rank of 30 last year with our class? Just making I?m understanding this correctly.Quote:

We ask our inside guys to cover more space than most and he has been playing tackle. Our coaches must have liked what they saw.
Yes,Quote:

One thing, none of these ratings really tell the whole story. Young teams usually don't do as well as older ones and we have been extremely young the last couple of years.

Laziness to update that he changed positions. Why bother for a small school and State?Quote:

I'd take him. We need a young DB and an older safety. He can be the young oneQuote:

I think we would likely find a way to get him on campus as soon as possible.Quote:

MmmHmmm. Going forward, the staff has on paper, filled all but one hole on the OL. I still hate the scheme, like what they?re doing on the OL. Impressed so far. Just wish they?d untie that other hand from behind their back.Quote:

with Dolla Bill as first alternate for 4 of the spots most likely.
I also hope we can sign Princeton Pines to replace Smith in that starting lineup.Quote:

Cole Smith makes us better in my opinion he has some nastyQuote:

That's why I said I want to get Pines.Quote:
