Says that today is the culmination of multiple years of work, some of which were put in before he even got here.
Says their own internal rankings are a lot more important than anyone else's (Duh) and they're looking for "NFL Players".
Calls the class "Well balanced across the board ... we went out to sign a football team, and we think we did that."
Says they hit everywhere were they wanted to be, and noted they were "inside out", with the majority of players coming from in-state.
They wanted to find "winners", that that's a talent that they can learn before they get here. Signed a bunch of multi-sport players.
Says this class can lay a "phenomenal foundation" for where they want the program to go.

Says they had Brady Hart rated very high the whole process.
Notes that Tiger Riden has been "extremely productive" and has won back-to-back state championships at DeSoto.
Calls Jamarion Morrow a very versatile player that has played just about everywhere, and he's still playing for a state title.
Kelshaun Johnson is an "elite" wide receiver who runs the 100 meters and plays basketball. He "brings elite speed and elite twitch."
TK Norman has "elite twitch...what stood out was his ability to put his foot in the ground and create separation." Notes his long jump bests, showing his explosiveness.
Jerome Myles will not be in for the spring, but is a player that has tremendous explosiveness who can stretch the field.
Says Kiotti Armstrong will play at 265 as a true tight end, and he can create mismatches in the passing.
Says getting OL was a goal of theirs, that it was a really strong class in-state.
Marcus Garcia projects as a tackle. Says they felt like there was growth potential and could add another 30 pounds. (He's at 285). He's a discus national champion.
Nelson McGuire is a "road grader inside", says that he can help "move people."
Josh Moses was "the easiest kid I recruited", that he was committed and stayed committed. Never wavered.
Jonte Newman projects as a tackle, but he has the most versatility across the line.
Lamont Rogers was someone they wanted for a long time (duh), notes he plays hoops and is a goalie in soccer.
Tyler Thomas is a 6-4, 330-pound interior lineman who is a people mover.

on defense:
Marco Jones is defined as an edge. Notes how amazingly productive he is, and he's also going to play baseball for coach Earley. "he's just an elite football player."
Landon Rink is an "explosive and powerful kid".
DJ Sanders is "an extremely explosive athlete", was sought-after even after he committed and always felt like he was an Aggie.
Chace Sims is a guy they always felt like was an elite player. "We were very excited when we got him...we think he's a phenomenal player."
Noah Mikhail is a "two-way standout...a really athletic linebacker who can go sideline-to-sideline."
Kelvion Riggins was the first commit to Elko. "He has already become a great Aggie...he has tremendous twitch, speed and athleticism."
Says the story is "speed across the board" in the secondary.
Jamar Beal-Goines is playing for a state title. Ran a 10.43 100. "He can fly and he'll be an elite cover guy."
Adonyss Currie "Length and speed in the secondary."
Rashad Johnson has "The prototypical safety body." Likes that he's a two-way player, because that helps with your ball skills.
Deyjhon Pettaway has the most Aggie ties of anyone (Daymion Sanford's his brother, David Hicks, DJ's dad, is his coach), "Probably has the most versatility" and they project him at nickel (told you.)
Cobey Sellers is another "multi-sport, multi-position player...we think he'll be an elite corner for us."
