I can't access scout at work, but it was a pretty steady diet of commits leading up to signing day, including several early on IIRC. He flipped a few kids from other teams-- Noah Spence, Armani Reeves, Tommy Schutt...actually, he poached those guys from the pedtards, which makes it even more awesome. He also flipped a DL from MSU who has since transferred, and got Bri'onte Dunn back from the verge of a scUM commitment. His recruiting tear was one of the recruiting stories of the 2012 stretch run.Signing day hasn't happened yet, so at this point we don't know.
Of the 12 commits Urb picked up after he was hired, how many were instant vs how many were signing day announcements? and how many were commits of other teams? Just curious.
Maybe The Harbrau™ can go on a similar run, but the buzz isn't there at the moment. I will say, he'd be smart to bank some scholarships instead of going the Hoke route and loading up on a bunch of putzes just to fill the class. I think some of that dead weight from his 2011 class played a big role in your horrific run the past couple of years.
