Lost two commitments last minute to SEC schools Ole Miss (Knight) and MS St. (Jones). Add FL Atlantic signed Southall. Also lost Gooden who earlier narrowed his list to three P5 schools. Bottom line, coaching staff did excellent job considering first time early signing period was completed prior to staff being in place and very late start handicapped us. Napier is very pleased with kids we signed... now we watch their growth under this new staff!
Further to your question; good article with explanation of recruit losses to SEC SCHOOLS:

That will stop when Napier gives them more reasons to come here, like a 10 win season or a national ranking, or beating SEC schools.
Point is, what we are missing is street cred. We can hire anybody in the world and pay them all of the money in the world, but until we SHOW them that there is a new sheriff in town, not much will change.
If we get the last two scholly's filled with a DT and OT, I would say a grade of B. The "B" is for laying the base foundation for the next class. This class is similar to Hudspeth's first in that I believe a number of these signees will be major contributors eventually.
