National Signing Day 2014 is now in the books, and as always, it was definitely quite the eventful first Wednesday in February.
But, just as we stress over them during the season, there has to be some sort of ranking system to see who some of the winners were and who some of the losers were.
Thankfully, the professionals over at 247 Sports have all of that covered, and here was their Top 25 class rankings when all was said and done on Wednesday:
