Yeah, football recruiting is almost pointless to pay attention to until like January but even if the disappointing occurs, there are still some really good things about this news:

1. You get a kid who has a ton of options to jump on board early. Adds a bunch of legitimacy to the message Dino and co. are putting out there.

2. You land a good lineman. I have to figure that this offense is going to be an easy sell to skill position guys. I also feel like skill position guys are easier to find in the 2- and 3-star range. You aren't going to find many Julio Joneses in that area, but guys like Erv Phillips can do damage and you can find them outside the top 300 or whatever. So finding good lineman and good QBs is key and we seem to have found some.

3. Recruiting appears to be a strength ... period. We've had a ton of recruiting obstacles since the P era that probably are unfair to lay at the feet of the coaches. But this is a staff that seems resourceful (see all the transfers), personable and absolutely intent on changing the profile of the kids we're signing.

One recruit who hasn't even signed doesn't cure all ills, but you have to be excited about the direction of this program right now.
