James getting started here.

He says that all of the paperwork was in by 7:45 this morning.

Overall, signed a complete class. Like to sign a player at each position every year so you don't get out of whack for scholarship distribution. Has been scarred in his past by OL and DL depth, so that has continued to be a focus and is in a healthy spot. Pleased with that.

The biggest difference in this class is the spike of midsemester grads. That will continue to be a national trend. Has been between 4-6 guys most years and this year it's 11. Will create some good opportunities for spring ball and competition. Also increases the chances of coming in and competing for a job. They'll learn and adjust in the spring and compete in training camp.
