Really excited about this class. In spite of the lower 20 rankings, I believe for the first time in a long time that we have kids coming in with the right mindset and are able to be developed. Plus we have a staff that is huge into development. Gone are the days of the MR period where we were getting the high 4 star guys that was nothing but drama and twitter glory over their recruitment such as bookie and some of the Calibraska guys. Everything about them was about attention and me me me.
In spite of this I can't help but look at Alabama with 25 recruits and only one 3 star in the bunch. The rich evidently get richer but it shows where the geographical talent is and how easy it is to recruit in your own backyard. I think it will always be a building process whereas this staff will find it easier to get access to more of the top talent as the years go by. Even then I think it will be a balancing act between finding the right fit for many of those guys. I have never been someone who likes coaches who are able to bring in the prima donna players with no idea on how they will fit in.
