Commit watch..

Could be a good day. Might add a couple 4 stars to a class that's shaping up to be a Top 15 class.

 

[engie]

Every other class like clockwork... It's the Mullen way.

Anyone glanced back at the 2013 class recently? What a disaster that turned out to be. 2014 not great either. Probably see some growing pains this you because of those two. ETA: 2012 was awesome, and it looks like 2015 will be.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

Wow. Sills, Christy, Samuel, Sandberg, Simpson, Flowers, Chapelle, Wells, Hammond, Thomas. That is horrible attrition and evaluation, besides Sandberg. '14 doesn't look as bad though. Williams, Green, Fitzgerald, Jackson, Bryant, Thomas, Coleman, Gray, Harris, Jenkins, Calhoun and Durr should all see significant time this year. It's too early tell how those guys will end up.

None of the recruiting classes from 2010-2014 are awesome. 2013 wasn't far off the mark of any of those classes. 2014 will probably be the best out of that range, although it was rated lower, because of the attrition of the previous classes.

Say what? There will be more NFL players from the 2012 class than the 2013 class had SEC players.

 

[121Josey]

Huh? All these NFL players makes the 2012 class awesome? It was rated 22nd overall by 247... with Quay Evans!**

2012: Autry (undrafted - 2 years), James (undetermined), B.Brown (not drafted), Redmond (drafted - 2 years), Jefferson (undetermined), R. Brown (undetermined), Jiles (undetermined), Ry Brown (not drafted), Devon Bell (not drafted).

9 potential NFL players. What happened to the other 19?

1 draft pick from that class. Awesome!

 

[57stratdawg]

Hopefully some of the new coaches will get us away from the bipolar nature of our classes.

 

[engie]

Makes it a lot better than the class with only about 6 sec quality players, yes.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

And get some out of state guys on the OL

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

Too bad by the time they reach NFL talent they gone....

I would rather have players reaching NFL talent year 2 not year 4 or 5

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

This thread is bordering on bi-polar...

I can understand how you can see a huge gap between 6 and 9 quality SEC players.** I just don't see how you can put any of Merlin's recruiting classes 2010-14 and awesome in the same sentence. But it appears to be a self-fulfilling prophecy in this case.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

So you think the '14 class is better than the '11 class?

 

[121Josey]

Hopefully some of the new coaches will get us away from the bipolar nature of our classes.

If they can get a bell-cow or centerpiece in the fold early in the process, it will help attract other talent and lessen the risk of an underwhelming class.

State can't spend all its resources looking for diamonds in the rough while not taking the time to do some heavy lifting. Simmons saved this past recruiting class, but it was like it was 2011 all over again.

 

[121Josey]

So you think the '14 class is better than the '11 class?

How are you judging "better"? How many players play in the NFL or how many of Dak's records are broken?

Salted meat?

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

Hoping for a fertile signing day...

 

[aTotal360]

Well done, sir.

 

[Palos verdes]

Recently it seems the longer we lead for prospects, the more likely we ultimately miss on them. Why wouldn't Hill commit this weekend?
