This has absolutely killed the 25, 26, and 27 high school classes.
This is why we need to ID 10-12 HS kids and go all out to sign them. 6-8 of them need to be able to contribute as Freshman and the other 4-6 need to be development guys, probably from MS, that you know will stay in the program(I.E. Kelley Jones). The rest we need to portal. We can't waste 10-12 spots every year on kids that aren't going to contribute.
