When new Florida Atlantic coach Lane Kiffin announces his latest recruiting class on Wednesday during National Signing Day, it will be a collection molded over the past month since he was hired, complete with defections from and additions to the previous staff's group. It will likely be among the best in Conference USA.
But for Kiffin, the class will look a bit different than what he's accustomed to. The four- and five-star recruits regularly hauled in at his past jobs at Alabama, USC and Tennessee will be absent, replaced by an army of three-star prospects.
