We don't make much of National Signing Day around these parts. Personally, we think ranking recruiting classes is ridiculous.
Here's a look at the schools with the top recruiting classes in 2005 (per Scout):
- Tennessee
- Michigan
- Florida State
- Georgia
- Oklahoma
How'd that work out for you guys? Judging recruits based on their play against high school kids that will grow up to be accountants may not be the best system. Not that those of us in the accounting field aren't badass. We totally are. But if another person sends me a video of some recruit tearing up a AA team from the middle of Nebraska, I'm going to audit their ass so hard it'll make their ears bleed.
The Northerner may have put it best, in an email about signing day:
Shits overrated anyways. Cody Grimm wasn’t recruited.
Bingo.
But should you feel the need to check out the signings from people that actually know this stuff, check out Gobbler Country or HokieSports. They will fulfill all your fantasies concerning 18 year old boys.
One tidbit per ESPN:
Despite signing a class that will be ranked near the bottom of, or just outside, the top 25, Virginia Tech will continue to be a serious contender in the ACC and will get the most it can out of the 2010 recruits. Look for physical safety Nick Dew (Virginia Beach, Va./First Colonial) to flourish in defensive coordinator Bud Foster's system; we feel he landed in an ideal situation to showcase his strengths.
So there you have it. Nick Dew is the new Grimm Reaper. Or he will be, when he finally gets to start in 2012.
