The week before signing day I always get nostalgic about previous classes. Then I wonder what the players in those classes did. This week I'm going to take you on a trip down memory lane with previous signing classes.
Today's remembery (I know it's not a word, but I like it) is with the 2014 class. I know it has only been one year, but you may be surprised at the contributions this class has already made.
3 THINGS ABOUT THE CHART
- The chart below lists the players who signed in the 2014 class in order of their 247.com composite ranking.
- The player with the highest ranking is first, lowest is last.
- The position, height and weight listed are from 2014 on 247.com.
