we land Kalambayi, but we offered at least 5 others in the '13 class.  hopefully we get better traction in '14.

I understand the sentiment, but given the fact that we recruit nationally and these guys (especially the players who combine excellent academics and athleticism) have offers from tons of top programs, including strong academic institutions, near home and family, 20% success is not bad.  And, of course, maybe some of those we offered never made it past admissions.

We'll keep having success on the field as long as we keep finding and developing guys the so-called experts miss, like Trent Murphy, a low-3 star on many boards, who was arguably our best LB this year.
