Historically when we've missed out on HS recruits and signing day is over we'd magically add 1-3 JUCO's to the open spots post signing day.  That's not a new thing.  You do that so you don't permanently mess up your class mix.

I'm not talking about J'onre Reed who was signed before the traditional signing day.  I'm talking about the motley crew of JUCO signees post signing day that came out of nowhere with little to no interest from other legit programs.  You add guys like that because you either were A) Planning on filling the slots with HS kids and whiffed or B) planning on filling the spots with portal kids and whiffed.  And neither you or I know what the mix was there.  But I know for a fact we whiffed on at least 2 HS kids that decommitted and I suspect there were more that we just flat out lost out on that weren't verballed here.

So back to my original point, yes, the way we finished out the HS class was abysmal.  It was already a weak class and we lost our 2 most heavily recruited prospects right before signing day.
