i think the draft was a hit to the brand. and being the only SEC team to not have anyone drafted, i'm sure is being brought up....and the medical retirements. those are two big ones that probably get talked about a lot.
so to me, the longer guys keep their recruitments open, the better it is for us. and there may be some flip candidates out there for us should we show something on the field this year that gives some credence to the pitch from this staff the past two years.
it's going to be hard though, because unfortunately we're not in a position where we can really slow play anyone so, we're giong ot have be aware and careful as we go.
in the end, it may be the # of spots we have available, combined with what happens during the season that kinda seals our fate in this class. i've almost convinced myself that i'm going to be just fine with having less than half the class on board come September/October.
just presents a big opportunity to close in December and February, especially if we have results this season to back up what htey're telling everyone out there, and kinda prove the negative recruiting false.
of course, i say that, and we'll get like 10 commits in the next 3 weeks or something lol.
