First this happened
Dec 26 2004

and this was result for class of 2005
Geaux 247 Class of 2005

Only one LB Darry Beckwith not Kendell.
We need to find another Beckwith this year.

I think this year's 2017 class is a better #6 or #7 class compared to 2005 with all the speculation of who we will finish up with after change in coaching staff.

Yep. That was a rough class. Perilloux 'saved' it, but as you know he didnt work out

Yes, no experienced players or Seniors for average season in 2008 and a few losses that we had to get used to for a couple of years.

If you're talking career production, yes.
But I meant in terms of perception on National Signing Day that year. RJF wasnt seen as the homerun recruit Perrilloux was

yeah we only recruited 13 b/c that roster was ABSOLUTELY stacked

it's not like we could have recruited 25 and only got 13

this was also in another era before greyshirting was big and oversigning loopholes were abused (like they are today)
