It fills needs and adds a little depth on Defense. We'll be good to go with a large class next year and a full year to recruit them.

Quote Winners Alabama: Was there ever any doubt? Alabama picked up a few more big commitments on Saturday from players like LaBryan Ray and Devonta Smith to ensure it would finish with the No. 1 recruiting class for the seventh straight season. Hell, things went so well that they're grayshirting defensive end Jarez Parks because they didn't have a scholarship available for him. Now, grayshirting isn't all that uncommon, but for a top-100 prospect to do it just shows how appealing Alabama is for the top players in the country. I'm telling you, I think Alabama might be good in 2017. You heard it here first. LSU: The Ed Orgeron Era is off to a strong start as the Tigers put together a very strong class, finishing with a couple key additions like defensive end K'Lavon Chaisson. With pickups like that, LSU is going to finish with a top-10 recruiting class. Which is good. The problem is it's still in the same division as Alabama. Florida: A few weeks ago, Florida fans were not shy when it came to complaining about their 2017 class. The Gators were ranked in the 30s nationally depending on where you looked, and while that's not horrible, it's just not up to the standard that Florida has set in recent years, and it's certainly not good enough if the Gators wanted to win SEC titles. Well, that ranking got quite a bit better after some key additions on Wednesday, as Florida leapt up to the top 10. That's a good day. USC: It was a very good day for Clay Helton and the Trojans. USC added players like five-star Joseph Lewis and four-stars Greg Johnson and Levi Jones to put the finishing touches on a top-five class. The only other Pac-12 school to finish in the top 15 of 247 Sports Composite Rankings was Stanford, and it's nearly 10 spots back at No. 14. South Florida: While South Florida's class may not be at the top of the rankings nationally, it took a big step forward on Wednesday. When the calendar flipped from January to February, USF's class was ranked 12th (that's last) in the American Athletic Conference. It climbed seven spots on Wednesday. So while there's still some work to do, Charlie Strong finished the 2017 class strong and has some momentum heading into 2018. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
