    Looks like we will be sitting on 13 signees to end the day. With a few targets signing between this Friday and January 2nd, and then some others in February.

    We have a chance to imrove a little before having to scrounge in the portal. I guess it could be worse. Kelly sa a lot of work to do to try to build a wall around Louisiana. The top 20 players in La (247 #s) had 4 WRs listed. Bama got the top 2, then 1 to Miss St, an the last to Neb. We got squat.

    No, someone needs to wait for Saban to leave the building and run the little bastard over. Then back up and do it again

    Yep, it sucks this had to happen this year, which was a really good year in the state. If we had been able to get everyone we wanted in Louisiana, and no one else, we’d be at #4 right now.

    Well, signing day is not nearly as important as in years past. It's still important, but with the transfer portal and NIL, it's a totally new ballgame. You can grab some really good players in the transfer portal and we can still make a run at some of the talented uncommitted players too. Kiffin said it best when he said it's really not about recruiting anymore, but who is the highest bidder. I agree. Deion just signed the "best" player in the country and I promise he didn't go there just because of Deion. More than ever, it's all about paying a lot of money if you want one of the elite guys on your roster and then good luck keeping him on your roster!

    Remember, many wanted that “big name” coach even he had no idea where Houma and Homer La. were. How many did Napier steal out of the state?
