well... is this site acting odd for everyone else, or did I get Bant?

It's very slow. I think everyone is F5'ing for signing day news.

CTR+W works so much better and it's less taxing on the fingers.

It's crazy how disappointed I feel today. I knew we weren't going to have any late second additions to an already good class, but we got Reed. If nothing else he helps our rankings on the recruiting sites even if he can't make the grades. So we've got a better class than we had last night, yet I feel still a bit disappointed...just because we're in the SEC.
But seeing so many of our SEC-W foes get last minute 5* guys (or multiple 5* guys) sucks. I don't need to be talked off a ledge. I know that our program's not setup to need those types of players...but man, wouldn't it be nice to have a couple of 5* players to get excited about? Like...every year. Meanwhile we've had exactly 1 since 2010. I know that we can beat teams that have lots of 5* players. But dammit if I don't wish we could throw out a McFadden-esque athlete to counter some of theirs.
Are there any potential 5* players that we have a shot with in the next couple of classes, anyone?
As far as today goes, I'm really glad I watched Deon Stewart's highlight tape on the Arkansas signing day site. I forgot how fast and fluid/shifty he is. If he could get to 175lbs he could be a nice piece for us this season.
Kendrick Jackson's tape didn't blow me away (partly just the poor footage), but he has a weird stalking manner to him. Maybe it was just the videos, but it was something that stuck out to me. Liked seeing that he can deliver a boom.

You're disappointed that we didn't get a 4 star receiver and instead had to settle for a 4 star receiver? Okay...
We have a class loaded with 4 stars this year -- I'd much rather have that type of class than have one full of 3 star gambles and a 5 star outlier.

Bert signs our best class of the modern era and Ocelot is disappointed.

Yes, that is exactly what I said and exactly how I framed my sentiment.

My bad, thought you were griping about KJ for a sec and then reread your post.
Go on with the chlorophyll!

As in, at all. I acknowledged that I was happy with the class BEFORE Reed jumped on board. That's why I was saying it felt crazy. I was happy, we got better, but not more happy. And it was just my mood after seeing some of our competition reel in last second 5* guys like it's no big deal.

I get where ocelot is coming from. I'd like for us to pull a few 5 star players myself.
But we'll have to win more to get them IMO
I'm pleased with the class

After watching some of the videos, I think I liked Deon Stewart and CJ O'Grady's highlights the best.
And seeing Cantrell wearing #44 reminded me a lot of Peyton Hillis

Seems like our signing days for as long as I can remember have had some sort of drama involved, and today went as we all expected. I think the lack of emotion today is what has some people confused, usually we are happy about the guys we picked up or in a meltdown about something like DGB.
As some other guys have mentioned, the AD has continued doing a much better job with technology. I don't keep up with recruiting all that closely so it was great to see videos of the recruits.
