I think that you have become a little jaded with CLF early success. With Ctt, we began to depend on composite 79s as compared to the .84 average ranking under Clf. The targets on 247 with a warm toward Cincy were few and far between. I know that stars are not the end all reference, but it sure does appear that we are in on a number of higher rated recruits now. I heard Chad say that there is a mid 80s recruit that would that would have signed on yesterday but the staff is waiting on their prime targets to make the offer committable. This was not happening under Ctt.

I would add that the slow down is to be expected since we only have 10-11 spots to fill before signing day. You don't want to blow your load by signing all your guys before you have a chance to see what some of the kids you have been tracking do in their senior year or maybe the chance another guy falls into your lap after decommiting from another school. Also, there will be a group of guys who will never give their verbal commit until National Singing Day because they want to have their formal announcement ceremony on the day of.

All in all I am very happy we have 14 guys give their intent to date.
