In the ten years that I have been covering Griz recruiting, I have always taken recruiting with a grain of salt. Never really over hyped any class, because I saw a lot of holes.
But Point blank...this class is by far the best class on paper UM has ever had.
The only class (on paper) that was close was , pause for dramatic effect,..... LAST YEAR!!!
In fact, I took a look at the recruiting classes for the top 10 FCS schools and NONE are in the same ballpark.
I would even venture to say that MANY Mid to lower FBS schools wish they had a class this good.
Main reasons why:
1- Coaches did an awesome job recruiting early and staying with players.
2- Coaches were not afraid to try for upper crust recruits, if you don't believe me look at the recruites UM did not get and where they signed! Mostly large FBS schools.
3- The Yeti Effect THAYNE JACKSON was the best recruiter UM had!
4- The Opening week win vs. ND State. Only game that weekend with a incredible finish and crazy fans!!!!
I know there will be naysayers and ones that want to stir the pot... But trust me...
THIS IS THE GREATEST CLASS OF RECRUITES UM HAS EVER HAD!!!!!
