"So much for no big news. Isaiah Forte just signed with Northeast Mississippi."
Maybe they found a way for him to qualify. So it goes.
It's a JuCo, so maybe we'll still get him in a year or two.

Ok, I like 90% of the photoshopping someone in the Athletic Department accomplished. But one of those guys now looks like he is straight out of The Hobbit.

It is a good thing to remember that players can barely qualify or barely not qualify. Forte may be the latter and do well with his opportunity to grow and then come to UAB later and much stronger.

RE: National Signing Day
Signing day starts at @TheGardFootball where @danyton_4 signs with UAB and @McKaneAtkins19 officially signs with West Alabama. Congrats to both!
--Any word on this kid? Didn't see that he signed any where else. We just waiting on paperwork or did he not qualify?

Maybe a blueshirt.... Coach said we could sign 6 to 9 more over the summer.

RE: National Signing Day
Expected blue shirt recruits (meaning they have not and will not take an official visit and will not be on scholarship until the first day of Fall semester):
Tyrus Butler 6’3” 290 DT from Hutchinson CC
-Held offers from Michigan and Mississippi State as a high school recruit but failed to qualify
-Enrolled at Copiah-Lincoln CC in January 2016 but later transferred to Hutchinson
-Recorded 12 tackles in 8 games this past season for Hutchinson CC
Wilson Beaverstock 6’0 190 K from St. Paul HS in Mobile, AL
-Offer List (2): Army & UAB
Kyle Greenwell 6’1” 185 P from Independence HS in Thompson’s Station, TN
-Offer List (1): UAB
Werlean Pollock 6’2” 190 ATH from Marianna, FL
-Offer List (7): FAMU, Georgia Southern, Marshall, South Dakota, UAB, & UCF, & Wake Forest
Gerrit Prince 6’5” 230 WR from Butler CC
-Offer List (2): Eastern Michigan & UAB
Drew Rogers 6’0 220 LB from Locust Fork HS
-Offer List (1): UAB
Danyton Thomas 6'0 180 CB from Beauregard HS in Opelika, AL
-Offer List (3): Austin Peay, Eastern Kentucky, & UAB
Isaiah Forte will go the JUCO route unless he increases his ACT score. If he does increase his ACT score, he will be a Blazer (this is according to him).
As a reminder, the blue shirt names above will count towards the 2019 recruiting class. If they enroll, they will be able to practice and play in 2018. I would imagine the majority of them (if not all of them) would redshirt 2018 and be redshirt freshman in 2019.

I haven’t seen or heard anything about him. Assuming he goes the JUCO route but I don’t know for sure.

I haven’t seen anything on social media about them signing, either. Doesn’t mean they haven’t or won’t.

RE: National Signing Day
At what point in time can we (for practical purposes) put a wrap on recruiting for this year?
Will we get a final signee list before spring practice?

They signed a few last year about a week before fall camp opened. I would expect that type of thing could happen again.
