Glad to see all of the JUCO signings today. Looks like we have been able to address a lot of our needs...

I know that this is perilously close to "wait till next year!", but I can't help but think that things will get better.

Green and Gold glasses or feeling that McGee is better than he's shown and we're simply due a little good luck? I don't know.

I just know I'll be there.

I'm really hoping McGee can get this thing turned around. I know the players want it too. We just gotta keep grinding this thing out. Gotta believe we can do it!!!

Third years the charm!
He should be much better this year.

Mostly from AL.com

i can see only 4 juco who sign with UAB so far

rivals lists 7 signees

http://uab.rivals.com/default.asp

That list looks accurate.

Corey Clements, the OL, is a juco that will sign either in January or February.

I thought I saw where safety Vantavious Williams had committed or was going to sign

A few will sign in a month or so including Corey Clements & possibly Williams.

The more, the merrier...Just hope that the new DC & staff can forge a potential "Steel Shield" with this bunch for 2014.

Let's figure this thing out.
Kansas CB Ron Davis
Iowa St Saf D Moore
W.V. CB K Richardson
UTEP DT A Villarreal
NT LB A Smith

UAB We've offered
OL D Crawford
DE J Jones
DB M Cole
Saf J Moore

I would bet Jones ,but I could be wrong and former UAB QB Josh Greer signed with North Texas.

Drew told me that he believes that the Vantavious Williams, Jeremy Reaves, and Northeastern Oklahoma reports are false.

Did Brewer Hicklen sign with us ? He never is listed here or on Drew's list.

Drew only found him as a baseball commit.

Seniors will not sign until February at the earliest.

He does appear to retweet a lot of UAB baseball stuff though.

A hefty infusion of more mature talent could be a great help in the leadership dept. I'm beginning to get excited again about the 2014 season, regardless of our past results. I'm really looking forward to the NSD get together in the G&G Room on the evening of 2/5/14 and then spring practice.

At the collegiate level, every season's team is virtually a new team due to great changes in the mix of personnel as seniors leave and new guys are brought in. AU's turn around (2012 to 2013) is just the latest example of what can be possible year to year.
