For those keeping track, we now have three players in this class that are rated higher than our highest rated player in the previous class. And we aren't even halfway to a finished class yet.

Welcome aboard, Carmoni!!! Bring O O on down

Knock on wood and all, but I feel I'm finally being rewarded for years of being a miserable, bitter and defensive yet always loyal fan ... Everything from vision, facilities, gameday experience, national respect, advertising, recruiting momentum, fan optimism ... It's just all taken such a dramatically positive turn.

When you consider I'm a Cubs fan, this all just seems like a great dream and too good to be true! Congrats Lovie and staff.

Still planning on taking visits to Utah and Pitt though.

From the article: ""The campus has everything there, like all of the restaurants and type of places where you can just sit and relax," Green said. "You can see everybody walking on that street, so you might run into someone you know and stuff like that. That was the favorite part of the trip for me."

It's funny that Green Street gets a shout out now.

This is a great commit standing alone but all the more the better if Green lines up across from Smalling. Really liking the choices this staff is making in terms of which recruits to prioritize.

Seems like they've prioritized WRs in this class. Obviously an area where we need an injection of talent. Green and Smalling should do just that. Would love to see them focus on the defensive secondary now.

Need DL too. Need DL badly.

Awesome news. For any stat heads out there, in our previous classes is there a rule of thumb for percentage of a class that flips by/on signing day?

WOW! This is great news! Lovie is coming on strong and bringing in some talent. Florida, St. Louis and Illinois are not bad pipelines to have. Illinois is the obvious one, but Florida and St. Louis are nice ones to keep going. :shield:

Really great get. This is so far and likely to be a small class, but the rankings of the players so far are way above what we have been used to. These are the types of players you go to good bowels with. I am excited. I think we have two highly ranked OL and now two highly ranked WR's. Maybe we catch the attention of a QB?

Small class? Think we're taking a full complement (25) and 3 to backfill (2016s).
