Likewise, I've been following recruiting heavily since that first class of 2002 on Rivals. I remember being in high school and my buddy who had a computer class passed me a note that Ricardo Hurley had signed that afternoon.
I just don't ever remember our fans being as disingenuous about current state of affairs as they've been at the moment. Everyone keeps saying we're doing great at everything almost to the point of being a caricature. I don't know if it's because Clemson had such a good run or what, but I never remember it being this bad.
I remember Hurley! And I think there was a highly rated juco LB in that same class? I want to say Darrel Slay?
