Final Thoughts on Signing Day 2010

Please Urban, retire again next year too! Just announce that your coming back soon after. Urban Meyer and his Florida Gators just sent some of the top talent in the country packing for Gainesville in the near future. The Gators 2010 class is on paper the greatest recruiting class ever.

Florida Signings: 28

ESPNU 150 Signings: 17

Five-star commits: 4

Four-star: 15

Three-star: 7

Others: 2

If it was not for the migration to Gainesville, Texas would have had the class everyone was talking about. Mack Brown & Co. did another great job getting kids to Austin and it shows.

Texas Signings: 25

ESPNU 150 Signings: 15

Five-star commits: 2

Four-star: 17

Three-star: 6

Others: 0

There were many other teams who had big days as well starting with Auburn who in my mind had the next best class behind the Longhorns, having 32 kids throw their ink down on Auburn Tiger paper. Florida State and new coach Jimbo Fisher did an outstanding job for the Noles bringing in big recruit after big recruit including RB Lamarcus Joyner . Lane Kiffin didn’t have a huge class first class at USC but did manage to pull in 2 five-star recruits including Seantrel Henderson the top offensive lineman in this class(update on Henderson, he did not sign with USC, he has given them his verbal commitment and will sign as long as the NCAA doesn’t come down hard on USC in there ongoing investigation. He has until April 1st to decide). Derek Dooley may have done the best in-terms of having to deal with the hand he was dealt when he took over at Tennessee.  The volunteers were able to lure Da’Rick Rogers away from Georgia and picked up two top 10 OT in James Stone and Ju’Wuan James.

Michigan  landed a big one not soon after halftime of this signing day when safety Demar Dorsey shocked USC and Florida State and probably a good deal of people in Ann Arbor when he signed with the Wolverines. Rich Rod also has  multi-threat QB Devin Gardner already enrolled which should lead to an interesting QB battle in Ann Arbor.

U of M Signings: 27

ESPNU 150 Signings: 2

Five-star commits: 1

Four-star: 6

Three-star: 18

Others: 2

Western Michigan University signed 26 kids, including a decent looking QB in Mike Perish as well as 3 star RB recruit Tevin Drake. The broncos look like they have the second best class in the MAC behind Toledo.

WMU Signings: 26

Five-star commits: 0

Three-star: 2

Others: 24
