He has some good things to say about BG in here, but take it for what it's worth.

Eh, Nick has Brandon Summers at number 11 or 12 amongst the top freshmen hitting the league. Freddie Barnes is as highly rated as Summers if not more so and Nick didn't even mention him.

Let's see who still in school in a year or two and then maybe we can discuss the quality of the classes. Some of those kids that Akron and NIU got are going to have a very tough time qualifying academically.

It's kind of interesting looking at this site's past "recruiting champs." With Western's class winning in 2001, one would think that they would have been at least a contender in 2004 and would be expected to be so again. Not the case. And, with UCF winning in 2002 and 2003, it would also stand to reason that they would not have been the worst D1A program in the country last year. Also not the case.

I realize there are a lot of other factors that play into things, but this site is obviously run by a bunch of people with their heads in their collective a**es.

BG won as many games as Central, Eastern and Western combined and got out-recruited by all three of them? I think not...

That's exactly what someone would have said when they saw Urban Meyer's first class--we got outrecruited by the 2-9 Falcons? In fact, CMU followed the UM playbook with a ton of guys outside the region. Its entirely possible those teams--with energetic coaches offering immediate playing time--had better recruiting years.
