*** 2017 Recruiting ***

I have seen it mentioned several times that recruiting classes are based on the season that a team had 2 years ago - (6-7 for NU) Not a bad 2017 class considering that record. The 2018 class will be based on a solid however not specatulor 9-4. It will also be a class that gets to see a QB that was recruited by this staff - Should see more top WR and pass catching RB's.

Disappointing day. Two guys we got early that we were expected to get. We lost Calvin. And got Blades. So all and all, we lost someone we thought we had and only got one guy out of the possible 8 or so. Disappointing day for sure.

I have confidence this staff can bring the best out of these guys and am excited we were in the discussion of some of these top prospects. Hopefully we keep building each year to where we can start landing some of these top guys. In the meantime..... there is work to do.

 
Kind of disappointing, was expecting a pleasant surprise from one of the Cali guys today (was hoping for Lenoir). Still probably the best class we've had in a while imo, but not what it could have been.

Completely disagree. We locked up a high 4 star talent, got the NT we needed, and kept a great OLB prospect in Guy. This day is a good one. Not disappointing.

Losing Calvin really sucks. But oh well.

It sucks bc he's definitely got talent but I'd rather we don't waste the scholarship. The chances of him ever working out here were very slim to none. He probably would have redshirted next season and transferred before he ever even saw the field.

 
We have a handful of guys that could easily have another star by their name, this final ranking is disappointing but not definitive of what we got.

 
Any 6'2 or taller receiver out there that we can land? A grad transfer at this position is entirely likely but I would not like a JuCo kid unless he has top notch skills and is ready to go this fall.
