    I certainly do not, but someone will probably enlighten me! I am thinking talent-wise as well.

    I think recruiting has been moving this way for years. Mullen seemed to resist this.

    Since the early signing period was established it’s certainly becoming more of a thing. I think CBN learned from last year’s slow start. By the end of June last summer, you blinked and 60% of the board was already taken.

    Folks I remember when the success or failure of the entire recruiting year came down to National Signing Day.

    No, and some of us called For this type of aggressive recruiting for years and got told “there is a lot of time until December”
    This is the way it is supposed to be done.

    To be honest, I kind of feel cheated. Never again will I know the anticipation and nervousness of national signing day. Palms, sweaty, praying that we can get a few of our last remaining targets and moving up 20 spots in the rankings.

    Yes, this is more like recruiting should be, although Alabama, Georgia, and Ohio state are still ahead of everyone else!
