In the spirit of this sick class, and celebrating what’s to come in a month, what were the happiest moments of all time on this board?

Of this year? Has to be around spring time when we were getting elite kid after elite kid to commit back to back it seemed
 
Getting Lingard and subsequently Avantae. Those kids...man...They're both really, really special talents. True 5 Stars for sure

I’m going to go outside of this year. I wasn’t on this board at the time, actually this board didn’t even exist IIRC, or at least Pete was giving updates on CI.

But getting Deon Bush and Tracy Howard was electrifying. The build up was incredible and for the vast majority of the year the thinking was we MIGHT get Deon if we were lucky. Howard was a white whale, getting him was mythical.

Obviously they ended up being one offs and not indicative of Golden’s future success. But at the time it was an incredible moment.

When I found out Frank Gore was getting in, I was about as happy as a football fan could be.

Coley was a big one especially because of his ESPN announcement.

I have to admit, I was thrilled getting Lingard's committment. No way we get a kid like that in the past - 5 star kid from central-ish florida? Huge pickup for a variety of reasons.

I also remember DJW's committment back on grassy. That was HUUGE.
 
In recent memory, 2012 stands out. Duke cooked the FL State Playoffs and got his 5th star. We landed Bush and McCord at the All-American game. Then Tracy Howard came out of nowhere with the "why not in my hometown?" and it was nuts. Probably the best 4 week run we've had in the last 5-6 years.

DJ Williams and it's not even close. He was the biggest recruit in the nation with John Madden procliaming (incorrectly) the he could go straight from high school to the NFL if he wanted to. In fact, I seem to recall that he waited until after NSD, which garnered even more anticipation. The fact that Miami was able to pull the #1 recruit in the country from the west coast was indicative of the fact that we were on top of the college football world at that time.

Thinking back to those days, if CIS had existed at that time, multiple members would have died of heart attacks over DJ's recruitment. The myth of DJ's dog still lives on to this day in Grassy/CIS lore. Hopefully we get to experience similar successes here in the near future.

I was there the day he committed at Family Day! Earl Moore and a tight end also committed that day. I remember talking crap to Duke Johnson about racing him and Herb Waters. I thought Amari Cooper would commit that day too but dude didn't even want to talk to other people.
