I know there's a signing day forum, but since we're not signing anybody, I'll continue the talk.
When you look at the current 247 rankings, it doesn't come off as bad as it seems. The top 3, A&M, Bama and FUGA...along with #5 Texas, all have 27 or more signings. (I thought 25 was the max, but who knows?)
It's disheartening to see that Kentucky and Missouri landed at #12 and #13 respectively, while we sit at 18th. Auburn has 18 signees, 10 of which are 4*. LSU is right in front of us at #16, but only have 14 in the class. Gusty Gaytah is behind us at #20 with only 16 signees. So realistically, we're about middle of the class in the SEC.
The problem for me is this. No damn way we should not have filled out this class today. We have MAJOR needs on the offensive line, but still have the one recruit. We needed to find a stud receiver and a few more bodies on the D-line after 8 of them left. We've had 20 total leave the program and we did nothing.
As one of my many "inside sources" in Auburn put it today, "Either he doesn't want to recruit, or he doesn't know how." (By inside source, I mean the guy busing tables at Chappy's Deli in Auburn)
