I'd say so, no? We don't land one, not even one, kid who wasn't already committed, and in the process lose out on three great prospects (JC, VT, and Treon). Heading into today, I've never been less excited for a signing day since I started following this stuff closely, and my sentiments were justified. What a snooze-fest and overall horrible last two months.

But, alas, the cloud is gone, so we're good in 2015!

Boring, yes. WOAT? That was 2010.

Njoku...but, yes.
 
What's the difference if a kid commits today or a year ago? Who cares about new commits.

This is a bad day because gibbons Powell and valentine left. If they stayed no one would say this was a bad day.

Recruiting hasn't had a positive vibe the last two months. It has nothing to do with today.
 
Last year was worse for me. We got Coley but losing out on Thomas, Kirkland, Bostwick and Bryant was devastating. We got everybody I expected to get this year so there was less uncertainty.

No. Last year was a punch in the nuts.

nope last year and 2010 were the worst
 
Great class considering the size of the negativity cloud hanging over the program. We can't have fans on message boards and twitter spouting negative nonsense and expect Coach G to turn the corner. We've got no one to blame for this NSD failure but ourselves. We've got to stop the negativity or we'll be in the exact same position next year.
 
2010 was an absolute killer:

Seantrel Henderson
Latwan Anderson
Asante Cleveland
Jeffrey Brown
Jimmy Gaines (the Buffalo Bomber)
Delmar Taylor
Kelvin Cain
Brandon Linder
Jermaine Barton
Chase Ford
Allen Hurns
Keion Payne
Eduardo Clements
Storm Johnson
David Perry
Travis Williams
Devont'a Davis
Andrew Tallman
Tyrone Cornileus
Stephen Morris
Clive Walford
Kacy Rogers
Kevin Nelson
Maurice Hagans
Darion Hall
Jeremy Davis
Tavadis Glenn
Jonathan Feliciano
Shane McDermott
Malcolm Bunche




Wow.
 
This was worse than last year. Losing Michel, Cook, Lane, Rudolph, Dixon, Valentine, Clark, among other home grown studs is painful.

Last year still stings for me. Coley's announcement was amazing, but I had gotten so discouraged by the time that happened.

Collins a few days before NSD stung like ****, Bostwick to UF sucked, and then the combination of Thomas with the Tomahawk Chop and Kirkland to Fayet**** had me vomiting all over my computer monitor.

Last year was worst than this. We still believed we could/would land Collins, mt6, Kirkland and others. We knew what we had going too this one. I am excited by this class. The young thunder cats can really ball
 
We got many different makers and if the linebackers are ready mentally as they are physically with DJ, CT, Yearby and our olineman looking like they all can play early its by far not the WOAT
 
No top tier program should ever take the collar on NSD. But with that being said, we are no longer a top tier program.
