Tom Fornelli (@TomFornelli) joins me to review the 2013 recruiting class, which was finalized last week on National Signing Day. We aren't here to rank classes or tell you how many stars will come from the many stars in the scouting process, but instead hope to put recruiting in perspective and identify some of our favorite prospects for college football's future.
