If you think our recruiting class is bad look at this:

I don't think anyone thinks it's bad... it was just a frustrating day.

Does suck for Nebraska though...

Can't believe they even ended up with 17. They had 8 in mid December.

I don't see what's wrong with their class. I do see what's wrong with ours. Misses on Greenbury, Darby, Decker, Agholar, etc.

Can't miss on something you never had and never was interested in you.

Took the words right from me.

Nebraska's class isn't that bad at all (they have one more commit than we do)

Houston.... Well they are Houston, let DB go there if he wants, he may or may not regret it, either way it's his bed and he'll lie in it.

The misses IrishMoore1-----How about the gets:

Kiel, Jones, DAy, Tee, Mahome, CJ, Shumate, Russell, Harrell, Nick, etc.

Impact QB, DT, CB, S, RB--so that isn't bad at all.

We didn't get all of them, but our gets are pretty dang good.

They seem to be focusing on our misses, rather than gets.

Also focusing on the minimal number of recruits

Oh? You mean on the illogical, utterly moronic, totally irrelevant "oh if only we coulda done this"s of the world? Yeah. That's cool. That will TOTALLY change the fact that kids wanted to play elsewhere.

Don't mind the two solid DTs, the best Pro-Style QB in the nation, and a lockdown CB that totally compliments last year's haul.

Not to mention:

Baratti who is probably the best pure football player in our class and is already a straight athletic freak.

Turner who is a legit 4.5 (faster than Tee) DB that has the versatility to play corner or safety.

Shumate who was probably the best overall player (starting safety, special-teamer, and starting running back) on the best high school team in the country.

Chris Brown who is a straight speed demon, that almost every SEC school wanted.

A true offensive swing guy in Russell. Which is a position Kelly really wanted/needed.

Excuse me while I jump off a f*cking bridge

Whoa whoa whoa.....

I agree with you!

Just telling you what kind of reasoning I've seen posted.

I actually think that this class is very good

Ties cinderblock to feet. Picks up pair of 45 pound weights.

BANZAII!!!!

Jumps from bridge. Sees life pass before eyes. Hits water. Does not die. Opens eyes. Ankle deep in the koi pond from the local Fujiyama's steakhouse.

You're good. I think we're fine. I was just tossing a bit of sarcasm on the pile.

Take a look at Cal's decommits from the last couple of weeks. Life goes on.

I think we needed a "can't miss" WR in this class to replace Floyd.. we got two guys who many say are underrated or who have high ceilings, but we didn't land that guy who is just going to be flat out amazing.. someone on the roster could emerge as that guy (see Blackmon was a 3*) but it would have been nice to have a guy who was absolutely elite.. oh well though, nothing you can do about it.. ND fans, always optimistic, mostly disappointed

Worst thing about this class is that it didn't fill needs for the most part. They came up short at CB, WR, OL, and LB. These are the same things that got Weis in trouble. No excuse for signing only 16 recruits.

Olinemen we have enough...
