And counting defections is like being almost pregnant ** -- marcbvtgm 01/24/2016 11:58AM Not counting the defections. Their class is still better than half the ACC. -- chuckd4vt 01/24/2016 10:59PM Where has it taken off too? Rivals doesn't have them in top 50. -- HOO86 01/23/2016 5:09PM They have a small class. Guru types are suggesting they'll recruit well. -- chuckd4vt 01/23/2016 9:45PM I'm familiar with London and Beatty. No worries. 7 losses a year. -- HOO86 01/24/2016 11:06AM Beatty and London are great recruiters, especially round here. -- chuckd4vt 01/24/2016 10:57PM Again. They will lose at least 7 games per year. ** -- HOO86 01/25/2016 09:42AM Those guys are assistants.
