For:

- We rank 43rd. Best ranking in a long time.
- A lot of the players we signed had legit power 5 offers.
- This coaching staff found Youngblood and seems to have an ability to find over looked athletes.

Against:

- Class rankings can get inflated on whether you sign a large or small class. The real number to pay attention to is average star rating and ours puts us last in the Big 12.
- West Virginia with a new head coach and a losing season was able to land the third best recruiting class and two four star athletes. They also only had a class of 19 so far, which makes it all the more impressive.

My Take:

Honestly, for me I go back and forth between excited and a little disappointed. I think it's fair to say progress was made, but maybe not as much as we were hoping for.

I'm also still a bit shocked that we used two blue shirts when I would assume the staff would have been able to use the success from this past season to attract higher level athletes for the next recruiting class.

Now what does everyone else think? Especially curious to hear from DY.
