So give me all we can get.I guess we do have "extra scholarships" that we were planning on rationing out to each class and keeping balanced classes. I can't imagine they would close the door on many of the 3* recruits because the class is filling up though. We might get over extended into one year, but we are going to need those recruits during these first couple years to not get demolished. They might close the class to 2* guys once they meet their recruiting goal then leave it open to the 3* guys. If you are going to get over extended, might as well do it with game changers.

Last year at this point they had around 20. For us last year we had 4 commitments by this time and only Aaron Pierre had any kind of stars attached to his name. Right now, we have JT Wood, Uriah West and Sean Queen, who are all 2 star recruits according to rivals. Add to that list the other three talented kids that I believe are undervalued and so far 6 good pick-ups. 2016 and 2015 classes we had a combined 1 rated recruit to commit before the season started and that was Alex Probert who was a 3 star kicker.Trying to find where you got 3 stars for Bebee, but regardless, his offer list is pretty impressive. He would be a GREAT get. You are correct in saying that last year's class came slow as well. It was the year before we had a great summer with a lot of early commits. Too early to push the panic button, but I confess I am a bit disappointed so far.
All this to say, I think there is a sense of over-reaction going on right now. We are all entitled to our opinion and that is a blessing. But fellas, there is a science to recruiting and it takes time. By the end of the month I do expect us to pick up atleast 2 more 2 star or better recruits. I think Anthony Ballard(2 star rb) is a lock for us and I do believe Landon Bebee(3 star o-lineman) is also a lock for us. I think over the next two months our commitment list will go from 6 to 12 atleast.
Hang tight boys, it is going to be a fun ride.
