Wow. Half of these mouth breathers sound like a spoiled 16 yr old who got a three year old Benz instead of a brand new Benz like the neighbor kids got. This is a strong class and this staff busted their tails to get more talent on OVs than ever before. This program is on the upswing and more highly rated players will come.

Jones, D White, Fulton, Porter and Cleveland chose their home state school that they grew up watching, but Burt is a fat douche for not convincing them to come here. SMFH.

I had an opinion and I shared it on a sports message board. It's what they're for. Deal with it. Anyways, any word yet on muddbone's exposé?

just because fans repeat something every year doesn't make it true.

Good talent and balance in this class but seems to me when you can't pull top 10 classes and rely on building depth you should sign more than just 20.

Bert said it himself. They wanted to sign 12 offense, 12 defense, and 1 coach's decision. That means Bert expects at LEAST 5 people to leave the program.

Are we the only SEC school that had a net loss of signees for today, coming in at -1 ?

True and when asked everyone on this board said 25 was the target. Now we lost some commits and missed on some guys and the spin is that 20 is all roses.

Nobody coming to the Hill right now is being paid. They are told hell no if they ask for payment. I won't do it out in the open on this board , but I can tell you every last detail of K.J. Hill and Malik Monk's reasons for not being here. I know what happened straight from the horses mouth.

CtotheV is interested in writing an article on this for 4thand25 if you are interested in sharing with him let me know.

Don't know anything about their class, but from what I'm seeing MSU had a pretty rough day as well.

It's like people are shocked we're a middle tier SEC program that's unable to sign every recruit we want.

Then they whine about the problems of a middle tier SEC program.

Some people really don't want to believe that we got our asses handed to us today. The spin is ridiculous. 0-3 on the big boys plus a decommitment with NO CONTINGENCY PLANS WHATSOEVER. If we had some 3 star guys to grab last minute for depth like usual when we miss on a big guy then it wouldn't be that bad. But nope. We missed out and were caught with our pants down and now our class if 5 spots smaller than Bret said he would get.

Other than the glaring absences of CB and OL in this class, it's still solid. But the finish was akin to swinging at ball 4 in a full count in the bottom of the 9th with the bases loaded. Nobody expects a grand slam, but they don't expect a chokejob either.

A class should be judged a few years down the line rather than by some recruiting service numbers.Alot of things can happen to the highly rated classes over the years to make that class a dud...

I believe in this staff....

Possibly. I am not sure. I have no idea how many people have been told the full story and I don't want to burn any bridges.

Is this what guys do when you're all hanging out together? Bitch and whine about the same thing over and over and act like hormonal 13 year olds? Gender stereotypes my arse

Some of you need to go find some hot strange, get laid, relax and quit letting 18 year old kids ruin your lives.

So you guys are saying that coming up FIVE kids short of a full class, or 20%, is not worth discussion? THAT'S your argument? No one is saying the players we signed suck. We're saying there aren't enough of them, per Bert's self-proclaimed goal.

You never just state a fact about anything. You interject the world is ending negativity into any topic including this. Bert BLOCKED you on Twitter. Let that sink in.

You say, responding to a fact-based comment. Fact. We signed 20. We wanted 25. Fact.

You can go ahead and see what you want to see. I've been positive as frick for months and no one seems to notice that. Point out that we fricking failed at signing a full class and "the world is ending."

Maybe let sink in that you have no nuance to your reasoning or logic.
