Now let's put a ribbon on this day and get Baptist. Love his tape!
Just want to say our major fan concerns were CB and WR this offseason and I think we crushed it this signing period with CB depth. 8 DBs this class, 5 of which where scholarship players I believe (Coleman, Hall, Smith, Jones, and Wlodarcyzk), and I actually like the PWO players (Ocama, Volpentesta, and Beebe) quite a bit too. Fantastic job, on paper, by the staff addressing the young depth needed at DB.
WR was also reasonably addressed as well but I would feel really good about it if we pulled in Baptist.

This class an a whole is a great mix of talent. Great work in our traditional recruiting area and some great skilled players down south. This class has stud development guys, flat out studs, and just great all around talent

The late signing period has become totally unique to me. You aren't really looking at kids for say 24 months, having them to our summer camp twice, having them make friends in the class, having them for unofficial visits, official visits...you are basically trying to fill in gaps on the roster. Fill in attrition. etc. It is hard/impossible to build crazy strong relationships in that amount of time. Just a different philosophy. I loved going into Texas, Florida and Georgia. Getting that skill and size was terrific. DJ was up last weekend. I have no idea his plan. He has a lot of options in Texas. His film is terrific. WOuld be a fun kid to sign, I haven't dug today, but I also have not heard he signed anywhere. I think UTEP wanted him on campus this coming weekend, and I am not sure when the last day you can sign is.
Everyone just relax, all right? Believe me, if there's one thing Ron Burgundy knows, it's women.

Think about how this staff just closed. My goodness. Skill talent all over.

Also, if it isn't prying too much, does anyone have an idea on the attrition that is being brought up? Burgundy has mentioned it as well as Insiders today. Enough mentions of it that is is a sure thing other than just Brock Robbins.
Great finish to the signing class. Great job coaching staff and administration!
