To be honest.. I thought most on here said the stars didn't mean anything anyway.. I'm sorry and I'm sure I will get dogpiled for saying it, but I am a little worried about our commit status so far.. I know about the arguement "that the coaching staff hasn't been together long enough", but that didn't seem to bother them when they pulled in the latest class of recruits (needless to say it was the one of the best in the country).... I realize some of the players were already in the stable under CPF, but not all of them were, the staff brought a lot of good ones in themselves.. I figured we would have multiple commits after the O & W game.. Again I am not bashing the staff I am simply stating that I am disapointed so far.. Hopefully it will pick up though.. I know everyone argues, but I still think the Boyd deal hurt us.. I know about being honest and all that, but younger kids don't see it that way.. I think they see it as we pull offers out from under folks.. and the timing on some of them were terrible, it really looked like Ut was string kids along (even though we know they weren't)... Let me say JMO before the dogpile begins...
Well there was this little thing called the no-contact period which hindered them somewhat. Plus, in the 3 months that Kiffin was here, he was focused solely on the '09 class. Everyone else had a head start. And as has been said numerous times, it's April.To be honest.. I thought most on here said the stars didn't mean anything anyway..

Thing is, we need to bring in about 3 guys that can contribute right away. I think we need about 6 total. The 6 can be done, but the guys that can contribute early are mostly committing early. I think a guy like James Carmon could help early at tackle. We need to find a legitimate LT in this class.
