I do remember a few years back that many of the verbal commits were good friends, then when the coaching went to hell they all jumped ship. I think Rippy, Mohler and Givens went to Colorado together, Gabbert and Hoch to Mizzou. I know we're not in the same situation here AT ALL with Rose. I'm exstatic we have him doing what he's doing. This is going to be a small, but GREAT class. It's great to have a recruit as a recruiter, unless you're sinking.
Off topic, looking back at that class, here's a few notables we lost: Trevor Robinson, Riley Reiff, Blaine Gabbert, Bryce Givens, Jonas Gray, Dan Hoch. If we had Robinson, Reiff and Hoch on our line, things could have been a lot different on offense. That year we brought in David Grant and Brandon Thompson as h.s. O-lineman.
