Early Commits

An interesting, if not somewhat obvious, column in the Birmingham News today discusses the high numbers of early commits this year.

That puts the SEC champs at 10 commitments, which puts them behind Alabama (12), Ole Miss (16) and SEC leader Mississippi State (18).

I'm going out on a limb here, but it's nice to see State leading in something.

Of course the end of the column sums up the number counting nicely.

"If we're full by Sept. 1 and we didn't get the right kids to win a national championship," Ross said, "we didn't do the right thing in recruiting."

I'm not going to even think about national titles and simply hope that Croom has been able to corral a group capable of moving up from that number 68 preseason ranking.
