Dismal....

If you are still feeling down about our haul today, let's remember that we are likely to always seem to "miss" more now because we have never had as many recruits actually consider signing with us. It's part of the price of residing in the rarefied air we now occupy. For perspective, take a look at our 2004 recruiting class. We had 27 recruits and the 54th ranked class in the country. Dismal.

If anyone is "feeling down about our haul" today . . . they are insane.
We are top-5 even in the rankings, and the rankings do not account for the "Dabo criteria" of fit with our culture. How can anyone see this class as anything other than excellent?

I don’t know who is feeling down about a Top-10 class...
There were quite a handful of gems from the 2004 class. Aaron Kelly, Phillip Merling, Michael Hamlin, Barry Richardson

Speaking of knuckleheads..... The "SEC" in my handle isn't for the Southeastern Conference.
And apparently you weren't around last night when people here were moaning about lack of a "real" surprise in this class, only to see 2 kids from Florida that weren't exactly locks sign this morning?
Psst..here's another tip for you; ProSECco is NOT the official sparkling wine variety of the Southeastern Conference. LOL!

I think getting most of our guys to commit early in the process also gives many a feeling of signing day feeling like a letdown. If we had several of our 4 and 5 star guys wait until today to announce then people would be going nuts with joy on here.

Definitely. I think the days of drama and late flips are a little bit past and this staff doesn’t like to see that in recruiting. There will always be a few recruits that crave the buzz but maybe the coaches prefer not to pursue those. It’s kind of like Christmas as an adult instead of a child.
