Exclamation SBC Recruiting Roundup
How's recruiting going? Coming down the home stretch I'm satisfied with Troy's recruiting. If we sign 25, we have 7 more spots open for commitments/LOIs. One of my favorite times of the year!

I agree, love this time of year. As far as App, really quite, don't know if that's a good thing or not, on paper atleast it looks like a really good class, of course still got a month to go, never know whats going to happen

RE: SBC Recruiting Roundup
We at GS are on the verge of mass suicide. Coming off of a bad season, with lots of changes in staff, it's expected that recruiting may take a step back and/or take longer to develop, but we aren't liking the look of it so far. Still plenty of time for them to sign a solid class, but it's worrisome. The supposed saving grace of our HC (who most wanted fired after last year) is that he's a good recruiter/has great HS contacts in the state of GA. I guess we'll find out in a couple of weeks.

Idaho Recruiting Preview: We're going to sign some 3 star guys who as soon as the scouting services find out they signed with Idaho will immediately be downgraded to 2 stars. Plus a few local kids you guys have never heard of and a random unknown Floridian and Mississippian or two. As always, we'll be ranked 10th in the conference and as always, it won't matter.

RE: SBC Recruiting Roundup
Of course recruiting players with multiple stars gets the alumni talking, but I don't put much stock in them. App seems to have a lot of luck recruiting players with few stars.

QB Taylor lamb - 2 stars .78 - Pretty decent QB
RB Marcus Cox - 2 stars .77 - Ditto - App career rushing leader
OLB Devan Stringer - 2 star .77 - started as True Sophomore - 3rd on team in tackles
CB Clifton Duck - 2 stars .75 - Sunbelt Freshman DPOY - USA Today & Football Writers Assn of America Freshman AA Teams
RB / KR Darrynton Evans - barely 2 stars .74 - lowest rated player in 2016 class - 22.5 yds per kick return - 815 All Purpose yards as a Freshman - All Bowl Team Special Teams Selection
ILB Eric Boggs - barely 2 Stars .73 - Started True Freshman - 2nd Team All Sunbelt - App leading tackler
OL Parker Collins - barely 2 star .70 - 1st Team All Sunbelt
OL Colby Gossett - barely 2 star .70 - 1st Team All Sunbelt
RB Jalin Moore - barely 2 stars .70 (tied with Latrell Gibbs as lowest rated recruit in '14 class) - 2016 Sunbelt Offensive POY
CB Latrell Gibbs - barely 2 stars .70 (tied with Jalin Moore as lowest rated recruit in '14 class) - Started as true freshman - 1st team All Sunbelt CB in '15 - 5th nationally in INT's

On the other hand
DB Treyon Garnette - 3 star .85 - couldn't get on field, left team
DB Anthony Covington - 3 star .85 - ditto
WR Jaylan Barbour - 3 star .85 - 11th on team in receptions
ATH Nikia Cathy - 3 star .84 - couldn't get on field, left team
RB Josh Boyd - 3 star .82 - back up entire career
RB Terrance Upshaw - 3 star .81 - back up entire career
TE Brandon Walton - 3 star .80 - couldn't get on field, left team

RE: SBC Recruiting Roundup
USA will have a very small class this year due to so many transfers and blue shirts last year. We always add a couple solid commits right around signing day, I expect the same this year.

We can only sign 16 I believe. Probably will keep us from finishing very high ranking wise. Not that recruiting rankings actually matter. Our best ever team came out of a class always ranked bottom half of the SBC, and our highest ever rated class had only a few guys actually play here.

A little exaggeration if you're referring to Malzahn's class. He had 16 signees play full, contributing careers.

16 played, but how many actually turned out to be significant contributors is the question? McKissic is one, but I'm not sure who else.

McKissic was Freeze's class. Malzahn had Mondie, Moreton, Clark, C Jackson, Giddens, Dexter Blackmon, Rosser, Porter, Rocky, Humes, Heath, Houston, Gordon, Leapheart, Ferguson, and Knighten. I'd say that's a pretty successful class.
