TigerCatch pretty well summed up why I'm absolutely at zero worry level on the type of class Gus & Co will sign next February. May not land the # 1 overall like we did this year in Cowart. May miss on some Rivals 100's. But bet against this group at your own peril, including their strategies and means to carefully time WHEN they flip a key target:

Boom
Craig
T-Rob
Thompson
Garner
and Yes, Gustav
JB has to ramp up, but it's hard to doubt his results the last two classes.

In wading through the River of Stupid (love y'all, just sayin') that at times crest the banks of Bunker, Alabama over recruiting commits and hot lists in MAY, it just seems that some insist on the process of landing a top 5-10 class being linear. Feb, NSD. March-May, have a list of commits, leans, and hot list 70%^ that points toward an eventual Top 5.

In our '15 class, it was hardly that linear, and we had to fight to keep Cowart, fight to flip a top WR from UGA in the 12th hour, etc.

Now I DO agree that it will become critical for this team to contend deep into November, if not win the SEC West so that our staff's talk has some "walk" to it. But who here believes that sort of season is highly unlikely? Not I, Sir.

Decommit from Craig yesterday, commit from a 4-star CB Broussard. Recruiting giveth, recruiting taketh away, blessed be the game of recruiting. :)

Somebody please post a "Didn't READ, LOL" gif. Those babies own me every time.
