Some recruiting odds and ends:
Looks like we have the #13 class in the nation:

Keep in mind that we're only this low b/c of the low quantity in the class, 20 kids, not quality. There is only ONE school in the top 12 that didn't have more kids than us. If you look at average stars per kid, a decent barometer for the quality of the class, we're #7. And oh yeah, we had the second most top 100 kids.
Having 7 out of 20 being top 100 players is a fantastic number.
USC, once again, had just an unreal class, landing the most 5 star kids, the most 4 star kids, and having nearly double the number of top 100 kids as the next highest school (13, compared to OSU, Florida, and Georgia's 7). Sleezy Pete has quite the thing going.
Here are JT's comments on the class:

And last but not least, we landed our first commit for next year, St. Ed's safety Nate Oliver:

Don't let the 1 star fool you. That's just b/c he's a junior, and is sure to change when they rerank the class of 2007 this spring. This kid is a player, in the mold of a Donte Witner. Once again, JT starts next year off with a bang!
Speaking of bangs:
LOL!
