I realize some people are feeling a bit down right now with some recruiting news. I'm just not in the same boat with that.
Both Hoke & Meyer came in at a good time & have made the most of it. I'm not going to dismiss the success from Hoke & Company. There are still prospects to get and the team proved this year that huge improvements can happen.
I'd also like to point out that Meyer has *decided* to honor all commits previous to his hire. I star that b/c he really didn't decide. That was his only choice. Otherwise, he would have damaged pipelines all over the place. These players are going to have an effect on what he wants to do in a negative way, imo. Regardless of rankings, O$U's class is a hodgepodge of wanted/unwanted for the current staff. They have obtained some key pieces but there are also plenty they don't want now.
As for the talk about oversigning. The conference doesn't allow it, won't happen & I'm really hoping uninformed *throw at the wall* comments aren't part of this forum. There have been numerous claims on them being over the limit already but the reality is:
1) Conference won't let that happen.
2) With any new hire (Especially a huge offensive shift), attrition & transfers are going to happen.
3) Some (from what I read ... 6?) current players on their roster can be counted towards last years count.
4) Urban was one of the few coaches in the SEC that didn't oversign.
--- I just don't want this forum to begin going down the road of baseless comments. Personally, I'm looking forward to these next few years (mostly b/c we easily have the upper hand).
As for the finish, it isn't over until that dotted line is signed. Even if we get no more ***stud*** players, I'm quite fine with this class & have faith in the ability of our staff to get the most out of the people we have. My lord, look at what was done this past season????
