You're missing the fact that signing day is in February.
Shhhh. Dan is the man. We couldnt possibly do any better!
He's known this was the end, so why crooot?
This may be the 1st class with no 2* guys. The ceiling may not be higher than some of our other classes but the floor definitely is.
Still not good for a team who was #1 last year.
No 4 star commits yet?
I was hoping one of you crootnicks would say we're gonna have a half dozen uncommitted 4-stars.Quote:

Top remaining prospects on our board. We could take the top 5. Longer Knott keeps waiting the better it'll be for us
Isn't David Cornwell the backup QB at Bama??

What is Kylin Hill rated and which way is he leaning?
4 star currently and MSU.Quote:

You would think with a little effort we would be getting more interest from top line prospects out of state given all the good pub our program has gotten over the past 2 seasons. Heck, Derrick Brown is a guy that if he had the same family connections to OM that he does to us, they would be all over him morning, noon and night.Quote:

I thought we signed a very good class last year. I'll reserve judgement on this one till we see what Simmons, aj, lashley, jones, and r. Davis doQuote:

I think we did and it was bolstered by some of the best in-state guys jumping on early and being our best recruiters. Unfortunately we didn't get any top rated guys to jump early this year. While I would still like to see us have more pull for out-of-state guys I would hope last year would be more the norm for the future and not the exception. I mean it was still just barely a Top 20 class by most services so its not something we shouldn't be able to duplicate most years if we are truly trying to compete for championships in the SEC.Quote:

I'll take the QB from Landry Walker for the 2017 class who is supposedly leaning our way over Patterson.
The one thing I'm not worried about here the next few years is QB...Quote:

Certainly not a major separation though and its evened out by the fact I don't believe they develop their talent as well as we do.Quote:
