Every year, no matter what, we are lower in ESPN rankings than Rivals or 24/7. Don't know what it is, but ESPN even has junior ahead of us this year and we are only 7th in the SEC. Much better on Rivals. fizzle ESPN anyway.
I guess this is now anti-climatic, but it was final signing day today. In case you didn't notice.
Used to be an early highlight of the offseason for me, something to look forward to not long after the bowl game, then have to settle for just spring practice prior to the season starting back up. But TBH, I lost a lot of interest even before the early signing day when we declined. It just wasn't as interesting to guess if our #17 ranking would improve us fro 5-7 to 6-6 the next season. I prefer the old days of top 5 rankings and national prominence.
12th with Rivals isn't quite where we need to be, and honestly is about where Pruitt and Jones were on average. But with Heupel as coach, I will take it (not to mention the portal is still open).
Good with the class, and looking forward to this fall! (with more enthusiasm since at least 2016 and more likely 2008).
