Next year’s recruiting class should be better.
That’s not to say there’s anything necessarily wrong with the list of 20 football recruits released on Wednesday by Butch Davis. It’s just that Davis, hired as FIU’s coach on Nov. 15, had to scramble to put this group together.
“Our assistant coaches did a fantastic job,” Davis said. “We had three weeks in December and three weeks in January to go out and build relationships that sometimes take a year or more.
“I’m very pleased with this class.”
Of the 20 recruits, 11 are on defense, but Davis said it was important that every area was covered.
