***Official National Signing Day Thread***

I ask this question reluctantly because of the possibility of starting a debate I don't care about and don't want the blame for starting up.

However, did a few of our recruits lose a star in the last Rivals update? It looked like there were more 2 stars than there were a while ago when I last checked. Thanks to anyone who has paid more attention than me.

I have a feeling Alton Meeks could offer help immediately.

[IAStubborn]

Most accounts put us either ninth or dead last. I hope we can stick around for a little while and give all of them a nice big ****burger to eat.

I thought rivals had us eighth

Hadn't heard much about Justin Webster since he committed back in July, but looking at his size and if he's as fast as his bio says, I could see him as a very versatile, athletic player on defense.

Against big 12 offenses we need to get some speed and athleticism at the OLB position.

Saw Justin and Brandon Harris at the DM Airport a couple weeks ago after their vists here, Justin really impressed me with his size. He looks the part of a LB.

No they didn't. We just signed a few more two stars and players who were not yet rated were rated two stars.

Recruits hardly ever get downgraded 3 star to 2 star. In fact, I can't ever remember it happening to a recruit ISU was interested in.


Also, confession: I thought Justin Webster was black. I don't know why, but his picture on the ISU twitter page.....surprised me.

Our class is currently ranked at #58.

Compared to past years:

2009 #73
2010 #60
2011 #51
2012 #87

So now that everyone is in, which recruit are people looking forward to the most?

Call me old school. I am looking forward to seeing how Campos and the other solid OL recruits develop. Having a great OL will help the entire offense. I also want to see what Alton Meeks can do.

According to Rivals, we have the lowest average recruit rating at 2.56 (starzzzderp!!!). Our class is #9 in the Big 12, only because they rank them by cumulative points; Kansas State is ranked #10, but it is because we have six more recruits than they do.

Once again, I hope in a couple of years it's ****burger time for the rest of the conference.

[Isuska]

just curious, does anyone know if any of these guys wrestle besides Lanning and Meeks?

[jburke]

Great OL class, good LB depth added, great athletes in secondary, a little disappointed with WR and DL signees, unless a lot of RS fresh step up. Predictions on which QB makes the position move first and where???

I would be shocked if Lanning is a QB past spring ball. Hodge is a QB all the way. Who else do we have that was a high school QB?

[xboxfever]

Brandon Harris's film impressed me the most. He has that quickness that ISU receivers lack. He can get up and run in a hurry. He might be the steal of the class. I had no expectations for him without seeing film. I think he will be a big time contributor in a coupe years.

Potential Reggie Cleveland All-Star?

[Blandboy]

Shawn Curtis and Jake Campos are both 4-star recruits. I can't wait to see what they can do in the next few years. Here's hoping they both become a couple of road graders.

Road graders? How 'bout BULLDOZERS?!?!?!

That's weird cause I thought the exact same thing about him.. Maybe its cause he played some running back
