Time to relax and have a bit of perspective. This year's class was never great at any time during the recruiting season.  What did we need? A future QB - we have next year covered and four to challenge after that. We need to replace receivers and we picked up some very promising speed merchants that never could have been recruited by the former staff. GMD has been working on them for four years.
 
The D is in good shape with all the red shirts and then JUCOs and returning starters and got better in this class.
[LIST=1]
[*]Wayne Williams was the best recruit in the entire class. 
[*]Fortunately, we have enough running backs for the moment and it will be a priority next year. If we had to lose someone, RB will hurt least this year. We throw half the time and I would rather have a RB that can block as well as run. Look at Broyld who has more talent than anyone we lost and he doesn't play because he can't get the assignments right. He almost got Ryan killed in the Pinstripe. 
[*]We got some speed and definite improvement in WR. For my money that is more important at the moment than RB.  
[*]IMO ZA was no shoe in to start next year or for that matter ever. Everybody got exercised because ZA was named to the Elite 11. But for that he was a two star from Texas (later elevated to 3). We have no idea if he is better than the other kids and certainly was going to have a challenge to beat out Charlie next year.

We will be fine and next year this day will be a lot more interesting.
Go Orange!
