Every coach claims to have a great national signing day. Nick Saban actually does - every year.

By lunchtime on Wednesday, the Alabama coach had most of his latest highly-rated recruiting class locked up.

"He's the best at (recruiting) in the country," said Tom Lemming of CBS Sports Network.

New Ohio State coach Urban Meyer showed that a year away from coaching didn't hurt his ability to recruit. Meyer's class was a consensus top-five, loaded with defensive linemen.

Florida followed a mediocre season with a promising signing day - despite having Southern Cal pluck a couple of blue-chippers from Gator country.

Missouri didn't need to leave the state to make the biggest grab on signing day, getting a letter of intent from the nation's most celebrated prospect, receiver Dorial Green-Beckham from Springfield.

With NCAA sanctions kicking in at Southern Cal, coach Lane Kiffin had 10 fewer scholarships to hand out this year. The Trojans made a couple of big scores in Florida on signing day, getting defensive end Leonard Williams from Daytona Beach, Fla., and receiver Nelson Algholor from Tampa.

Maybe the most surprising signing day flip-flop came from receiver Deontay Greenberry from Fresno, Calif., who backed off of a long-standing commitment to Notre Dame and signed with Houston.

Coach Mack Brown and the Longhorns swooped in late to pick up linebacker Torshiro Davis (Shreveport, La.), who had committed to LSU. For the second straight year, Texas signed one of the most highly regarded running backs in the country, landing Johnathan Gray from Aledo, Texas.

Quarterback Jameis Winston from Hueytown, Ala., said in an interview on ESPNU: "I'm a 'Nole."

But he also said he won't sign with Florida State until at least Friday. Stanford has at least caught his attention.
