I kinda like our signing class.

Then of course, I am remembering signing days past and haven't followed things quite as close as some of you. It looks like we signed some good size and a great QB and RB. I would have loved to have had at least one big, as in size, WR in this class. Maybe we can pull someone late.

Mullen's best class to date on paper. At least in my opinion.

QB of the future. Best RB prospect since Boobie Dixon. Impact players on the defensive side. Jucos to fill immediate gaps. Addressed the kicking situation. I know some are crapping on the OL but I like the pieces we are adding there, too...I know there are one or two grade risks but if we can get them in, they will be fine.

I would have loved to seen another OL or two, and maybe a playmaker WR. But I'm fired up about it. Our Juco haul and early signing of Key Thompson was so good, though, that a lot of today was gravy after getting Hill, Gay, and Odom in the boat.

It's easy to forget the JUCO haul. Almost all of those guys are going to be big contributors.

Reality -- borderline top 15 class IMO. Would have liked one more HS OL and a gamechanger at WR, but we've got 2 guys that are listed as DL that could potentially play there. I think we are teed up for 2 elite WR next year though, so that will likely be OK. And only one SR on the OL on roster next year.

This. Landing Sweat, Cole, Rivers, etc., will (hopefully) be a huge bump. I'm guilty of forgetting about this haul we had in December.

13 of our Signees are already on campus

Out of the 24 we've signed today. That's pretty good. We're gonna be a tough out the next two years for anyone who plays us.

Me too. Super excited about this class.

It would have been nice to have one more 4* lb or wr but they weren't a position of dire need.

I think we're pretty set at LB. Dunning seems to be the forgotten man in the class. And Erroll Thompson in last class.

Would have liked another WR though. Particularly a JUCO. Hopefully Todd/Mitchell are everything we have heard that they are until we can get Heath in next year. I haven't personally seen him play -- but there are starting to be Eric Moulds comparisons there, something I haven't heard often from State people in my time following recruiting.

Apparently Guidry will be back on the market. He's going back to Hinds.

I'm sure LSU has the inside track, but a big year from Fitz could change some things.

Oh and the squashing of the Mullen job rumors*

I love it.

One of the best LBs in the nation. The highest rated RB since Norwood. The next Dak.

I think it's awesome. Our defense is going to be miles ahead of where we were this past year.

I think if more of these guys had signed today people would be more excited. A lot of people forget we already have a ton of really solid early enrollees on campus.

Yep, possibly Mullen's best work to date. Don't forget all the in-state HS coaches he's hired as well. We should see the real benefit of that in 2018/2019
