[Bulldog Tom]

Rumors are a top QB has switched. Always an interesting day.

Not seeing anything to get excited about in this group. Hope there is a diamond or two in the rough in this class.

I think it looks like a good class. Our per player ranking seems better than the total score, which seems in line with how we have done for years - I assume due to saving spots for transfers.

Louisiana and Texas, as you'd expect (and it does look like we're still doing plenty of recruiting in Louisiana, which is good - we need both). Could use more players from the Natural State.

I look every year at the Texas/DFW recruit rankings (top 100), and this year there was not one listing Tech as their pick. Usually there are 2 or 3 in either the Top 100 DFW recruits and/or the Top 100 Texas recruits.

And we only have 1 of the top 50 in the 247 composite rankings for Louisiana. Tulane has 7, while ULL has 2.

Novasad committed to Baylor for the last year flipped this morning. Upstanding kind of guy. Guess Nike money paid off.

I'm sure I've said this before, but NSD is my annual reminder that I'm not great at going back to unfollow former assistant coaches when they move on to other jobs (and that sometimes former players become coaches at other schools).
My Twitter feed always fills up with signings at schools I don't care about (or dislike) and I'm always like "oh yeah, never did unfollow coach Whomever when he stopped working for us, probably ought to do that" and then I forget, usually until the next signing day (ironically, the less active they are on Twitter, the more likely they are to slip through year after year). Likely to become a problem with players in the portal era as well.
