Signing day 2016 has come and gone, with Florida State taking home the nation’s No. 1 class and No. 1 overall prospect Rashan Gary signing with Michigan.

Here is a look at what it all means:

More sleepovers, more trees climbed

Jim Harbaugh has made news virtually every day of his Michigan tenure and that went to 11 when he hit the road for in-home visits. Harbaugh scheduled “sleepovers” with prospects -- he showed up just after midnight to begin his visit, climbed a tree in a recruit’s yard and went to class with a prospect. While fans of other programs and some media derided Harbaugh's antics, the answer to the question “Did it work?” was delivered with an emphatic “Yes” on signing day. Kicker Quinn Nordin, who made news with the sleepover, athlete David Long, whose family owns the tree in question, and Devin Asiasi, who attends Concord (California) De La Salle, where Harbaugh attended class, all signed with Michigan. Recruiting fans can put away any hope of Harbaugh slowing down -- or other coaches not following suit -- as the Wolverine’s No. 6 class proves that Harbaugh’s tactics work.

It’s a Crimson Tide world

After four straight No. 1 recruiting classes, you’d think Alabama fans would be disappointed with Florida State grabbing the top spot. But all Wednesday did was prove the Tide’s recruiting is as strong as ever. Alabama landed 16 ESPN 300 prospects and showed once again that as long as Nick Saban is in Tuscaloosa, it should be the early favorite every year for the top recruiting class.

Texas still has some work to do at home

Texas had a huge day, as the Longhorns jumped 22 spots and landed in the top 10 of the class rankings. That was made possible in large part by a strong finish in the state, as four of the Lone Star State’s top 20 prospects announced commitments to Texas. Still, Texas hasn’t signed the top in-state prospect since the 2013 class and signed just two of the top-10 in-state recruits this year. There are so many talented programs recruiting the area that it’s tough to fault the Longhorns too much for not cleaning up in state, but Texas signed the same number of top-10 Texas recruits as both Baylor and Ole Miss. It will be interesting to see if the Longhorns need to show improvement on the field this year in order to further get recruits to buy into the vision again next signing day.

USC's national pull continues

After USC made the transition from Steve Sarkisian to Clay Helton, the consensus was that recruiting would suffer, simply because Sarkisian was so strong in that area and Helton was unproven there as a head coach. And while the Trojans finished just outside the top 10 at No. 11 despite a five-spot jump in the rankings, Helton needed just these 24 hours to prove that he could recruit and close a class. The Trojans flipped Boise State, Florida State and Oregon prospects, took ESPN 300 offensive lineman E.J. Price out of Georgia and won a heated recruiting battle with Michigan for defensive end Connor Murphy. There is plenty of work to be done on the field this year against arguably the toughest schedule in the nation, but Helton put a lot of cardinal and gold worries to bed with the way USC closed.

No rest in the SEC

When you see video of coaches celebrating wildly after landing a recruit, that isn’t staged emotion pouring out, especially with some of the bigger recruiting battles down south. There were a few commitments that sent recruiting rooms into a tizzy today, as Mississippi State landed ESPN 300 defensive end Jeffery Simmons, and Ole Miss picked No. 1 safety Deontay Anderson. With so many talented prospects in the Southeast giving the SEC half of the nation’s top 10 recruiting classes, coaches know they need to reel in top prospects to keep them away from a rival.

Flips are alive and well

While today didn’t seem to be nearly as hectic as previous years, there were a few flips that proved, once again, that no coach will ever go into signing day feeling fully comfortable with every one of his commitments. ESPN 300 wide receiver Tyrie Cleveland made the move from Houston to Florida, which was a nice rebound for the Gators after losing ESPN 300 defensive tackle Shavar Manuel to Florida State. Texas grabbed ESPN 300 linebacker Erick Fowler from LSU, while USC snatched ESPN 300 safety Jamel Cook from Florida State.
