I'm further encouraged about this class by our recent success in finding and developing top-notch talent that seems, in retrospect, under-valued by the recruiting websites.  I'm thinking of two and three star players, particularly along the OL (Schwartzstein, Fleming, Yankey, who was borderline 4 star, Danser) and on the back 8 of the defense (Tarpley, Murphy, Lancaster, Brown, Browning, Reynolds).  We haven't done so well with receivers, but with OL and the D we've been outstanding.  Gives me faith that we may find a gem in, say, Oser or Bright, who might even end up challenging one of the more noteworthy class members from last year.  Hopefully we have also caught a surprise player in Eric Cotton.
