IMO, on signing day we will have a much better class than we had on the day that CWT left.

From the limited reaction to his hiring that I have seen on twitter by current verbals, it has been almost completely positive.

We should gain more than we lose, as a result of the HC turnover.

 

I think so, too.  Timing is great. I'd be surprised even if the decommits leave. The opened up after Taggart left, but if Strong wants them, I'm not sure a kid would say, "Taggart, of course...but Strong?  Nah."  

Strong seems a lot more serious/tough than Taggart, so there may some that shy away.  But Strong has a great resume and show bring a tough edge to our team, and should get some great D players in.

Cliff notes on the recruiting calendar between now and national signing day?  Dead period includes what?  When are the coaches able to begin again?

Strong will be able to have limited phone contact during the dead period, if I read correctly from something Josh Newberg had said on Bulls247. 

Judson was offered by Oregon, that means zero about commitment. As mentioned, Judson has decommitted from several schools. Check his offer sheet, it includes some various names. One of which was Ohio State, which was because he felt he was snubbed by Urban Meyer during a visit there.

Point being, Wait to see what he does after Strong has had a chance to sit down and get to know him. 

 

One of the reasons our recruiting class has lost some footing in the rankings is that we did have a couple of decomits after Taggart left. That's okay. You also have to consider there's still roughly a month and a half (more like two) until signing day. Coach has plenty of time to hit the ground running with his people. Taggart himself was hired right around this same time last year-- his intro conference was Dec 8th, 2012. And look at what he turned his first class into. 

We've been working on CJ Cotman, Antwan Owens, AJ Davis, and some other kids. If the new squad can pull any one of those the class will go up in "rankings", especially Cotman or Davis.

Think Strong can talk a FL kid from going to chilly OR and he has Dungy's kid as an example for his discussion with the players Mom.

Basing it off Twitter Coach Strong is calling all of our recruits at the moment and the conversations seem to be going good.

How about it?  If CCS can flip a few 4*s from Texas to us, would anyone complain?

We'd probably have a HUGE ethics thread complaining about all the great talent coming in via nefarious means...

Man, reading Judson's tweets make me cringe something terrible. Kid loves the drama...
