This could only be summed up as FAIL.
Monken better get a new recruiting coordinator and he better get an education on how recruiting is done these days. Getting good players to commit that don't sign is a waste of time and effort. Losing 1,2,3, even 4 is understandable. To lose this many in the end is just failure. I respect the hard work they put in and I know nobody feels the hurt worse than the coaches, but this has got to change. I am fully aware of the influence of 1-23, but that can't be the lone reason for this disaster.

not sure who this is:

quality response.....whoever he is, we need people that can be coached and want to be here!

The Stanford model is a perfect case study when it comes to recruiting.

google it.....it's a benchmark that all schools should follow.....

yep...ain't happy about that last minute flip...got faith in Monk getting it done regardless

Now i wish the damn website for USM would hurry up and confirm all these twitter ones... someone not doing their job?

Disappointing day to say the least.

Rivals said we came in at #81 overall...

TJ Werre ‏@TJ_WJTV 1m

According to Rivals, Southern Miss ties with Memphis at #81.


could have been worse with our last two years.

They may not be official yet, stink... you can't put them up unless they've actually handed in their LOI. That's why it took so long for Foster's to go up. But I'd like SOMEONE from USM to confirm somewhere that they're trying to get these last few slots filled.

Patrick Magee ‏@Patrick_Magee 5m

Southern Miss coach Todd Monken on recruiting class: "There were a ton of surprises - some good, some bad."

I'm thinking Cochran and Northern were "bad" surprises

not sure what the "good" surprises are yet... (Roach, maybe?)

That DT from Texas probably. Other than that, no good surprises at all. Mostly disappointments today.

different issues....e.g., the hattiesburg american has learned the hard way

I have faith that our administration learned one thing today....adapt or die...it crosses many boundaries that have to be protected

Cory Gunkel ‏@CoryGunkel 1m

And last but not least, WR Mike Thomas has officially signed with Southern Miss.

....lost an O lineman...no details other than he didn't play last year....guess that's a positive...

Jason Munz ‏@munzly 1h

Southern Miss HC Todd Monken tells me offensive lineman James Davis (Murrah) has been dismissed from the team.

disclaimer: fyi only...didn't want to start another thread....

If he didn't play last year on THAT offensive line, can't be that big of a loss.

I'm with shifty.. if you weren't good enough to play on the line with how crappy we were... I'm thinking there was no hope for you at all.

at face value, don't disagree with either of you....hence, the fyi comment
