The early signing period starts December 16-18. The majority of classes were filled in the early signing period last year, and I would expect that to be the same this year. With the loss of RB Armoni Goodwin, we now have a total of 12 commits. This puts us at #39 in the country according to 247. That's also 11th in the SEC, behind the likes of Arkansas, Mississippi State and Kentucky.
Malzahn and Co. always seem to close well, like they did last year to finish at #7 in the country. But this year is a different animal since Auburn has games scheduled over the next two weeks. We desperately need a big injection of, among other things, big talented linemen on both sides of the ball. We've got a couple committed but it's a drop in the bucket.
Say what you want about recruiting, but I'm a firm believer that if you stockpile highly rated kids year after year, some won't pan out but most of them will. And we have been sucking large schlong when it comes to signing highly rated linemen. If you don't win the line of scrimmage or at least hold your own, not much else matters.
