Going to have a really small class this year -- so it will likely continue to seem that way.

I think it's best to let us make it thru BDC in July before starting to really worry about matters on the recruiting front. Likely will have a blitzkrieg of commits in the next month or so...

Feel free to show me how you would go about making that happen. Copied from SPS.

We've got 11 scholarship seniors this year -- and we're going to stay 2 under the 85 limit already as self-punishment for Redmond.

These are the scholarship players on MSU's current squad(questionmark by guys I'm unsure of whether they are/are not on scholarship). There are 55 players listed here -- prior to the enrollment of our 18 additional incoming freshmen(Simpson will enroll at Christmas). That puts us at 73 scholarship players going into recruiting season -- against a hard 83 limit.

If we are to sign 20-22, we must eliminate 10-12 of these players. Feel free to list the "expendable" ones -- because there is simply not much fat left to trim here...

Ok Engie we will sign 10-12 like you say even though John and Paul have said it will be around 20

Players transfer, and some give up football.

Link me to where I said we were going to sign "10 or 12"? I didn't. Nor did I imply it. But you are the very one that will be first to go full meltdown mode when we sign 16-18 and aren't ranked inside the top 20 despite the class being loaded from a talent standpoint.

I simply said that it is going to be a small class. Significantly smaller than last year -- when we graduated 17 or 18 seniors. Feel free to link me to where Paul has EVER put a number above 20 on this class though -- because I sure haven't seen it.

Everyone in our fanbase seemingly wants to sign a full size class this year -- but I've yet to find a single person that wants to play the "expendable" game because there simply aren't that many "busts" or non-contributors left that we can lose and feel good about it. MAYBE 6-8 guys left in that regard.

So, what you've got is a scenario where you either sign a small class and Bundy melts down. Or you cut a bunch of contributors or guys we perceive as good players with solid potential...which starts the "Mullen is losing control of his team" sentiment among those who haven't looked at it on the level I'm attempting to get you to do here -- and Bundy melts down.
