Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 5592228, member: 40"] Right on. I'll also add that despite the solid class, Russell was the icing on the cake. We have other quality WRs lined up in the class -- the world wouldn't have ended if Russell had decommitted. But from a perception standpoint, it was nice for Fran to be able to hang onto the 5-star. First of many Fran eventually lands, hopefully. If we'd lost him, it would have just created fan anxiety over every highly rated recruit who would give a verbal committment here for the rest of time. Instead, it turns out we CAN have nice things. [/QUOTE]
