2017 Signing Day thread

[Same Ole Wiley]

Greyshirys get paid too!

[Moose Stuff]

21 signees........ SMH at the people who said we'd have trouble getting to 16-17 a few weeks back.

Smashing as in, He. darns. His. Sister.

Has nothing to do with our recruiting class, but I just saw this and it's pretty great. Hell of a name.

How could he not have chosen N. Dakota State?

Whoever was following Nebraska'a board, please brings tears from the ones who thought they were above us.

Really?

 
Exactly.  This is probably the best class (on paper of course) that we've ever signed and we're coming off a 6-7 season.....more 4 star guys, more ESPN 300 guys than we've ever signed, the top rated player in the state to sign with a Texas school, a QB with a ton of ability and upside, players at every position, taller DBs, etc etc etc.    I don't know how much better could have been expected.   People's expectations can get way out of whack.

I'm freaking thrilled. And give me more California kids making a big televised spectacle of coming to TCU.

 

[RollToad]

So I hear UT has had a crappy day, true? What else has happened around the schools we don't like?

 

[SurfCityFrog]

Happy to see another Cali kid sign with TCU!
 
I am biased, but would love to see us do more recruiting in California. Lots and lots of good football players out here.
 
Go Frogs!

Turns out when Ole Miss can't cheat like normal they don't do very well.

Schaefer said on the radio that he thinks we PASSED on Onyamaobi...
 
Then implies that there is a chance there is someone out there that we aren't talking about...

Sure hope so.. That's a big pass.
 

Coaches did not like something and Im good with their judgement!

National Signing Day show on Sirius xm just said we had a Top 35 class no doubt.

When you combine that number with GP/staff's ability to coach em up, which may be worth an additional 15-25 slots most years, I get very excited.

Some teams get a top ten recruiting class and their staff causes them to regress in ranking by the time they graduate.

I hear we passed on Mathis. Nebraska is a bunch of pussies that can't hack the Big12

Like Georgia has the #3 recruiting class. And this year they will suck ass as always.

On paper last year's class was the best. Think we had 10 4-stars to this year's 4. Regardless, I'm thrilled with this class. Got some top tier talent, as well as a bunch of big, fast guys that filled most needs. Fantastic class considering the season we're coming off of.

Nebraska was shooting for 3 or 4 db's from Cali with room for 3; they signed 4-star Elijah Blades but struck out on Onyemaobi, couldn't flip 4-star Jaylon Johnson from Utah and appear likely to lose 4-star Deommodore Lenoir to Oregon.

Wow, I went back and looked and you're right.  Had no idea we had that many guys rated that highly.   I sure hope Chambers, Blacklock, Bowen and Myers take the next step.

 

[TX_Krötenechse]

what about Meyer?  He was our top recruit last year

I hope Myers will be good, but he was HS, not JUCO, and he was our 8th ranked recruit according to 247 composite.

Lakendrick's face even looks athletic. I think we see him saying "Lakendrick Vanzandt, TCU" on Sunday Night Football in about 6 years
