    We lost alot of commits and near commits over the year. That was the disappointing part to me.

    First of all, those of you who are hurling insults, bite me. I am as big an OSU fan as anybody. I just expected more. This may turn out to be a good class. I just thought there would be more four-stars in this group. Sorry my opnion is not popular with you all but I speak my mind.

    The real measure of a coaching staff's recruiting ability isn't stars, it's whether or not they are landing the recruits they are going after.

    Then don't act so butt-hurt when people call you out for it.

    I'm not big on recruiting stars either, what disappoints me is that half of our class is composed of guys the coaching staff wouldn't have offered had they not missed on their #1 (and in several cases #2) targets.

    Guys the coaches really wanted who decommitted:
    Braylon Addison
    Kendall Sanders
    Dalton Santos
    Chance Allen
    Kenneth Marshall

    If you throw in guys like Barry Sanders, Jayden Mickens, probably Elston, and a few others who we narrowly missed on then it's pretty easy to see that this isn't the class our coaches wanted.

    Now, did we get some guys that will help us? Sure. Maybe some of the backup guys that we ended up settling on turn out to be really nice players. But if you were to place a wager, who do you think will have a better college career, Caleb Muncrief or Braylon Addison? Jhujuan Seales or Kendall Sanders?

    And quit with the "Blackmon was a 3-star" crap. Take a look at our playmakers on defense. Markelle Martin, Justin Gilbert, Daytawion Lowe, Shaun Lewis, Richetti Jones. Tell me where we would have been this season without those guys (who were all 4 stars).

    Then again, some of you on this board need to act like adults. Isn't part of the reason for this forum to express your opnion about something? Attack my opinion but don't attack me. That is un called for.

    We're not attacking you. We're attacking your opinion. And it smells.

    I get this stuff going down a week or so from now, or a week ago, or even yesterday. But it's National Frickin' Signing Day. Get a clue and put a sock in it, Bro Montana.

    Saying your opinion is one of the most insanely moronic things I've ever read isn't an indication that you yourself are an idiot, is it?

    Really? The most insanely moronic things you've ever read? You guys on your high horses are freakin' hilarious. He wonders why the hell we can't pull a top 25 class after two 11+ win seasons, a top 3 finish and a conference and you act like he's a idiot for even questioning this. It's always the same group of people that pile on anyone who questions anything about our athletic program.

    Yes, really. Or is it intelligent to damn an entire recruiting class before any of its members have even put on an Oklahoma State jersey and took a live snap inside Boone Pickens Stadium?

    Not as hilarious as you people who devote so much time and energy to the stars that show up beside 18-year old boys' names.

    Which is more important: Oklahoma State's Scout.com recruiting class ranking, or Oklahoma State's BCS ranking?

    You're blind if you think I don't question anything, but questioning a recruiting class before it's even done anything is asinine.
