Quick Football Recruiting Overview....

On a very snowy morning, just a quick second to look back at the football recruiting class.  First, a couple notes on overview.  Everyone's class looks good right now, Coach Clawson even referenced that in his comments on signing day.  I know that some of the rankings show BG in the middle tier of the conference, but I'm not too worried about it.  Our classes have routinely been panned and yet we have been as consistently good or better than most of the teams in the conference. 

The point is that lots of things have to happen.  We learned in the Brandon era that you can recruit good players, but if they aren't an academic or social fit for your program, they won't stay and are, therefore, not contributing to your program.  Also, no one really knows how good these players are when they are in high school, and many of the rankings services have not even seen the team play.  The truth will come out on the field.

Yes, that includes the school to our North who some claim have the best class in the history of the conference.

Just to say this.  Coach Clawson has proven at two different schools that he gets the players he needs to win, and I believe he is doing that here. 

I thought it was interesting to look at what positions we recruited...

Remember, there were 25 players in our class.  I guess I did not realize that six of them were d-backs.  Here's the full position breakdown....

DB---6
OL---5
WR---3
DL---3
LB---3
QB---2
TE---2
RB--1

Beyond that, I guess the only thing is that it is surprising not to see more D-lineman, which either means we like who we have or didn't get the people we wanted.
