Ahhhhhhh yes. February 3rd. The day that high school seniors can sign their letters of intent to play college football. I like to call it Christmas in February. For over a year, universities across the country have pined over, fought over, kissed up to, and impressed some of the most sought after talent in the country. The culmination being today. Who made our Top 25 recruiting classes?

Well this isn’t necessarily an accurate list since we won’t know how these young gentlemen will pan out over 4 years. But, predicting it sure is fun. Many of these so called “blue chippers” will never play on Sunday, while many players who were overlooked will hear their name at the NFL Draft. So it’s a crap shoot. Coaching, discipline, progression, and luck take over now. An emphasis on coaching! How else would you explain the success TCU, Boise St, Utah, etc. have had on the field? All of those teams are lucky to crack the Top 50 in recruiting classes each year, yet seem to put out Top 10 teams on a regular basis. So here it is:
