Recruit tidbits

This class is a bummer! We needed 8-10 juco's.

Arkansas has 27 commits now. Not much more room for them to take guys.

The SEC "Houston Nutt" rule only allows those schools to sign 28.

Not drinking enough kool-aid apparently, I guarantee that Maggitt commits to either Florida or Tennessee....

"Guarantee"? So, how are you guaranteeing it if you are wrong? I always like the "money back" variety myself...

I think that both of these guys classify as "mystery meat" recruits. English, you can't even be sure the staff hasn't pulled his offer.

Maggitt, on the other hand, has kept his ISU recruitment about as low profile as possible, barely acknowledging that we are a "finalist", while he chatters on about every other school that he visits. It would be great to get him, though. You find a place for an athlete like that.

I would think that this rule only applies to a specific year. Schools can probably get around it by counting back some mid-year signings to the previous year and offering gray-shirting some guys to the next year class. Most SEC schools won't let a silly little rule stop them from finding a creative way to get what they want.

What do you mean?? I personally think this class is rounding out to be pretty great, you can judge everything on the star system but if you do we really only have 2 kids that are not at that 3star or borderline 3 stars area(5.4 rival rating) I like that we are in the running for a lot of kids, this is probably the most exciting recruiting cycle since Sed (aggie/cyclone) flip on NSD, and we know how he panned out. I am really encouraged and excited on how hard we are hitting FL with the Burnham's. Very pumped to see what happens the next couple of weeks.....
