The Arkansas State Red Wolves ended with a bit of a disappointing recruiting  class even while gaining 5 signing day commits that were on the fence about the Red Wolves. The biggest get on the final day and possibly the biggest get of the entire recruiting class was 3-star Orange, Texas defensive back Colin Janice. The biggest disappointment of the class was the loss of 5 recruits who did not sign with the Red Wolves. Tre Allen, Devon Jones, and Marquez Lanton all did not sign with FBS schools at all while 2-star defensive end Justyn Eddins flipped to UTSA and 3-star wide receiver Shaun Rupert flipped to Missouri.

The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns were the big winners in the final month of recruiting with the top rated recruiting class of the Sun Belt as well as one of the top 10 Non-AQ recruiting classes. The only big loss of the class was 3-star defensive back Xavier Woods flipping to in-state rival Louisiana Tech at the last minute. The Ragin' Cajuns signed six 3-star recruits and are bringing in a very talented class that could vault them to the top of the Sun Belt for years to come.

Widely considered to be one of the poorest recruiting classes of and FBS team, the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks pulled in 15 NLI with none ranking any higher than 2-stars. The Warhawks pulled in only 5 in-state recruits while pulling in players from 5 different states. Expect some recruits to outplay their ranking and make this class better than previously seen.

The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers signed the biggest non-service academy class in the nation with 32 signees after a smaller recruiting class in 2012. WKU ended up with three 3-star signees led by offensive lineman prospect Joe Fennell and offensive lineman Donald Rocker, cousin of current Hilltopper Gavin Rocker. The Hilltoppers got players in many different positions of need including players better suited for Bobby Petrino's system. The biggest losses were 3-star defensive lineman Marcus Adams and 3-star wide receiver Jalen Edwards who have not signed with a FBS team. The Hilltoppers also lost 2-star defensive end Ismael Aurismond to rival MTSU.

Another Sun Belt team with a huge signing day, the Troy Trojans inked 8 signing day commits that were on the fence for a total of 23 NLI. The Trojans pulled in 11 in-state signees and recruits from a total of 7 states. Troy got three 3-star commits led by Arie Anderson at defensive tackle, Sam Lebbie at linebacker and Tim Longmire at running back. The Trojans brought in much needed depth on the offensive and defensive line and should be much better on the trenches this fall. The only loss was 2-star tight end Wyndell Archie who did not sign with an FBS team.

In similar manner to many of the Sun Belt teams, the South Alabama Jaguars had a big day on signing day with 11 players on the fence that turned to South Alabama on signing day. The Jaguars pulled in three 3-star signees in running back Kaleb Blanchard, wide recriver Dejon Funderburk and defensive tackle Jerome McClain. South Alabama struggled in-state only pulling in 4 of their 21 NLI from Alabama while stealing 6 signees from the state of Mississippi.

Building momentum for a move to the Sun Belt, the Texas State Bobcats used their location to pull in a very impressive recruiting class for the 2013 season. The Bobcats inked  seven 3-star recruits and leaned hard on the JUCO route with 10 NLI's coming from JUCO players. 13 of the Bobcat's 22 commits came from in-state with a surprising 7 players coming from the state of California. The only loss for the Bobcats was 2-star tight end Tristan Henderson flipping to UAB at the last minute. Expect to see a young but much improved Texas State team on the field in 2013.

Heading into their first season at a FBS team (albeit transitional), the Georgia State Panthers inked 16 recruits to NLI on Wednesday. The Panthers got a good one in 3-star Stone Mountain, Georgia product Kight Dallas who picked Georgia State over offers from the SEC, ACC, Big 10, and Pac-12. The biggest question for the Panthers is a group of five players (River Bryant, Oshay Carter, BJ Clay, Keremy Fulcher, and Calvain Holmes) who are still committed but did not sign NLI. The Panthers signed 13 of their 16 recruits from in-state. The biggest loss was 2-star athlete Deonte Davie who flipped to Wake Forest for his NLI.
