Remember that in 2012 we were waiting for Garnett, Murphy, and Peat to all announce on NSD.  Hard to beat that for signing day drama.

Agreed.  Shaw's ability to recruit and the future of the program was in doubt, not just by us fans, but also recruits themselves.  That was probably the reason for those top prospects not making final decisions.  It's an easier decision nowadays so I don't think we go to the wire nearly as often anymore.

This year, however, does provide plenty of drama with the urgent need for DL (Johnson and Wade-Pery) and LB (Warner).
