The annual signing day recruitment dinner was yesterday in Omaha. I try to make it every year. As many of you know, the event goes over all of the recruits in the class with film clips and coaching comments.
I personnaly think we have a very good class this year. The loss of Peat hurts, but overall it's hard to complain. Here is a quick recap:
1. The walk on class really seems to be a cut above this year. I wouldn't be surprised to see a few of these guys get significant playing time in their careers. Spencer Long's name was brought up alot. He is the current poster child representing the walk on program's success.
2. Beck talked about Armstrong as QB. Kid looks impressive on film. I think we stole a good one out of Texas.
3. Coach Fisher talked about Westerkamp. Hard not to be excited about this kid. Fisher said that only one WR prospect would be picked in this class. Westerkamp was his first choice and he got him after almost losing him in the 11th hour to ND. He mentioned Garrison as being very helpful in getting this kid to sign as well.
3. Cotton and Garrison discussed Thurston and Whitaker. I was surprised that Cotton didn't really talk much at all. Probably reading into that too much. Anyway, both guys look good on film. Whitaker was one of those guys that really flew under the rader. Very surprising he didn't get Pac 12 offers.
4. Brown talked a little bit about Cross. Good kid with Christian up bringing. I think Brown and him meshed very well. Kid is big with deceptive speed. Good big 10 type RB.
5. Coach Els went over the LB's. Anderson and Rose looked the most impressive to me on film. Obviously this was the biggest need for this year's class.
6. Raymond talked about Alonzo Moore and Seisay. Both very good prospects. Moore is definitely being looked at as a DB. He was a great running QB , but his passing looked pretty shaky.
7. Papuchis and Kaczenski talked about Valentine and Curry. Both looked good on film. I'm excited to see what Kaczenski can do next season for the D line.
8. Bo was last to speak. Mentioned the car accident. He had to go back and get another car so that was why he was late. Bo spoke very well. Thanked the fans for the support and seemed very polite and gracious. He talked about this season not meeting expectations. He talked about getting to the next level and about producing championships. He said he is very excited for this upcoming season and expects great things. For Bo it was quite inspiring. I came away pretty upbeat about next season. Hope his predication comes true.
