Bielema knows a thing or two about FB's. I'm good with this one.

Rock Bridge is a good Missouri school to get in on too. They produce a fair amount of D1 talent and Missouri historically does bad recruiting kids from there.

Yea folks will flip out when they realize Kapita still isn't on campus and with the eligibility rumors throughout his recruitment along with the hip injury.

Jimmy Whitt could have been the only signing in the 2015 class when Mike had open scholarships coming from Madden and Harris as seniors. Then losing both Portis and Qualls we've add another transfer that has to sit a year from Colorado and now this grad transfer for only one year. All while losing Babb.

If he was at Kentucky with neck tats, he would be a lottery pick with that line.

Devwah Whaley released a top 5 of Texas, Texas A&M, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Georgia.

So what are our chances?

20%

Don't think we cheat well enough

Curious why we haven't offered Duwop's little brother.

He's a consensus Top 100 player and we need play makers at WR.

btw, I'm expecting Duwop to have a huge year. I think Enos will be able to get him the ball from somewhere other than the backfield. He looked really good in the times he did get on the field.

Come Feb. this class is gonna feel underwhelming isn't it?

Agim would be an awesome get, I've got nervous confidence that we'll get him.

I'm also waiting for the BS Bert is racist attacks, 5 of 10 commits are white. We'll have the whitest team in the SEC if we don't already. I have no doubt it's something that other schools are using negatively against us. We had a handful of mixed-race commits last year as well.

I'm OK w/ us not chasing after top end talent and striking out like Petrino did, then being forced to scramble and take marginally talented or character issue kids to fill the roster.

Bielema's system seems to be working faster than we thought it would/could. I sure hope Enos gets the backups ready, not sure BA is durable enough to make it a whole season uninjured. Healthy Brandon Allen is our best shot at competing for the West this year and beating some marquee teams at their stadiums will be the best thing we can do to raise our recruiting profile and attract more of these can't miss athletes.

I hope the fanbase is prepared for a recruiting class in the low 20's to mid 30's just based on numbers alone since we'll likely sign 20ish.

I foresee a big group of out of state 3 stars that we as the average fan won't get a whole lot of info on.

I do like the size and measurables of the guys we've got to commit so far. The depth we're building is with guys that sure seem to be the type that will blow up in college rather than peaked out at Freshman/Soph year.

I'm a little perplexed why Top RB's haven't been beating down the door (oh yea, Joel Thomas). Sure seems that we're a place you'd want to play if you want to carry the ball and rack up yards behind a superb OL. I think we need to sign at least 2 stud RB's this cycle. Cantrell could end up being our 2nd option at goal line bruiser RB behind Walker.

I'm expecting Robb Smith to bring a haul from Florida, would be nice to break into Georgia and Mississippi a little more. Appears we're setting some roots into Louisiana finally and aren't just getting LA guys where us and Kentucky are their only SEC offers.

It'll be really interesting to see what Enos can do in Chicago and Michigan, even into Wisconsin. I have a feeling that Bert hasn't hit Wisconsin hard out of respect for their fanbase, but dangit we need to trade on that name value a little bit.

Hope we pay some attention to California too, our SEC membership should allow us to pull nationwide these days.

Also, I think TJ Hammonds will end up a RB. We have more WRs than we need and he's too explosive to not get the ball. And he's built more like a RB than WR. but we definitely need another.
