After our win yesterday, we picked up 4 star TE Jamel Howse, who is now the highest rated recruit in App history.

A lot of people may (understandably) be frustrated with our on field performance, but at least Dowell is recruiting at a high-level.

Commitment or signed?
We have been here before. Not dissing DLo. Great commit. I hope he gets more ...
I have changed my thought process here and wait to celebrate after signing day... .even more lately... Been waiting until 1st day of classes to see who stayed to practice..
That is where we are at in CFB recruiting and squad make-up.

Wait until they make it to campus. A lot of movement before then.

I have been feeling this way for a while now. We just can't celebrate until they show up and actually play. The one thing we can, and should, celebrate is that Loggains is trying to correct a bad strategy from prior staff and instead sign bigger classes. I am hoping we sign 25 or more in this class. We still have to hit on their talent and character but signing a big class will help prevent so much dependence on the portal if we are accurate with it. We signed 23 one year and the rest it was in the 17-19 range so seeing his effort to get a bigger class is welcomed for sure.
