you mean #22 overall
That doesn't tell the whole story. To be honest, I'd say you guys had the BEST signing class in the whole country, when adjusted for the signing classes of your conference mates. Seriously, look at this shit:
I mean, damn. Does the rest of your conference even care? Every team in the B1G besides tOSU and Michigan had signing classes ranked below KENTUCKY.
KENTUCKY.
After your story about your grandmother, I just don't feel right making the horrible season to be a Cal Bear joke.

It turned out better than I expected for Cal:

Depends on which site you look at
I believe McMillan is ranked 22 when you look at the composite score, which takes ALL the rankings into account.

You guys got one out of the top 10 players in Texas, according to 247.

I know it's 2014 signing day, but the #1 OT (ESPN and 247 have him at #4 overall) in the 2015 class committed to Clemson tonight. On to next year!
They got 2. Not that it really matters though. Recruiting is nothing without player development.
Is "extra Olympic sports" some sort of code word for "fund for victims of child abuse" that you Nittany Lions are using nowadays?

MSU has a pretty good class, some saying the best Dantonio's had. Lots of DL in this class, so we should continue to turn out great defenses. I think the program took a big step with the rose bowl win, and we're being much more competitive with OSU and UM for recruits, which is huge.
Well, I really was referring to all B1G schools, but PSU did recently add ice hockey for both genders. I'm just saying that some of the extra TV money has usually gone to preserving expensive men's sports like soccer, swimming, and volleyball vs giving more funds to paying football assistants. I thought this was general knowledge after Beilema went to Arkansas.

Happy to get the big last push from Sark with those recruits. It was funny having the ESPN people at UCLA for the "bRuinRevolution" only to have all of the big commits go USC's way over the day. It was damn quiet over there.
Shit, you just said they didn't get paid, like they were working as high-level interns.

So our average class ranking seems to be about 58-60, which is not bad considering the smaller size. There's also the issue where some of our higher ranked players go down in ranking when they commit to Duke. I don't understand that, but it happened to a few.
For the most part though, we have a lot of skill players and athletes in this class, next years will be OL and DL heavy I think.

.@InsideUSC #USC QB Max Wittek is currently talking to #Texas, #OhioState and #Louisville about transferring and playing next season
Don't see how that makes any sense to come here....

You're not familiar with the Bama Bump, which occurs when a recruit commits to Bama, are you?
It's why judging recruiting classes before they have a single practice is dumb. Some guys' ratings change only because certain schools offered them.
No, I get it. Duke BB recruits get it in basketball. I like Marshall Plumlee, but a McDonalds AA? LOL no.
Right, so you're getting the Duke Dump.
Is this because you think they'll fire Flood after this season?
Partly, it's more like the administration realized if they want to compete, they have to open up the checkbook.
And to be fair to the administration, they had so many things going against them, that it was kinda forced upon them.
edit.
And oh yeah, Grats on the Hawks win. I don't think your defensive line gets enough credit, as I recall Mebane personally destroying the Giant's oline 2 years ago.
UGA filled their last open defensive coaching spot with Mike Ekeler, most recently on USC's staff (not retained by Sarkisian), and previously at Indiana and before that with Nebraska with Bo Pelini. Apparently Tom Osborne and Bo Pelini called Richt and endorsed him. Seems like a good pickup though and it sounds like he'll be a good asset for special teams.
Defensive staff is now:
Jeremy Pruitt - Defensive Coordinator and secondary coach (special teams?)
Tracy Rocker - DL coach and Will Linebacker (special teams?)
Kevin Sherrer - Outside linebackers and star and nickel defensive backs
Mike Ekeler - Inside linebackers (and presumably special teams)

Yeah, Mebane is a beast. DTs usually get no love, though. Our whole line (shit, our whole defense) was just incredible this season.Women and children on the lifeboats first!
Fuck that.

Apparently DFW got hit with snow today unexpectedly as well. This was one the weathermen didn't predict so an Atlanta like gridlock may be possible during rush hour.
I made it to and from school in one piece! My mom wasn't so lucky though.

Jameis, don't be crazy. And quit throwing that baseball, your arm is too valuable.

Not a chance. But that is ok, as long as we win the ACC and get to the playoffs next year.
This is really, really random and almost uncertain of knowing, but I was hanging out with a friend tonight and we were discuss a little bit of FSU football. He had this theory that he likely heard from someone else from their sister's cousin's uncle's neighbor that apparently, according to rumors and dirtsheets and what have you, Jeremy Pruitt got the offer from Georgia and accepted it nearly immediately before Jimbo could even provide a counteroffer. The word is he was having an affair with a student and wanted to get out of Dodge as soon as possible before it all went up in smoke.
I'm absolutely not saying this is true or false, but it was a little humorous to hear the rumors that circle around the student body at times.

I have faith that Jameis is going to lead us to our 1,367th College World Series appearance and we'll come out with the big W.
Yeah that was a pervasive rumor at FSU that didn't seem to have any traction when the hire occurred. Like I said then, if he was trying to leave because his fiance' had allegedly told him that she was gone if they didn't leave the school, then UGA won't be any better for him. Tons of pretty coeds.

Looks like A&M is pretty excited about recruiting!
Is "Yessir!" another stupid A&M catch phrase? I haven't heard that one before.
Sumlin always tweets "#YESSIR" when he gets a new recruit.
So to answer your question... yes.
I wish Saban* would tweet out "#Aight" whenever we land a recruit.
