The class is heavy on ... Skill players. Surprisingly, considering June Jones is taking over, the Mustangs brought in a ton of running back prospects.

The player who'll someday be a really big deal ... QB Bo Mitchell
The player you might care about this year ... TE Taylor Thompson

What it all means to the real world of college football ...

Wow, that could be the worst analysis of the recruiting class EVER. Those guys are all slots, not RBs and the TEs are moved to DE.

I like the part where he says the two best targets may be the tight ends and then list 3 players.

I can't believe that I am correcting somebody else's typing........

in his defense, he does say in the same sentence, that the running back prospects (meaning they were RBs in HS) will be moved immediately to receiver. ALSO says that the TEs will be moved to either receiver or DE.
Ok this is getting ridiculous...I agree with Dutch on THIS ONE POST by him totally
