Well, duh. There is a limit to how many the NCAA will let us sign. That's just going to take time. We've never had a recruiting class of this quality. Enjoy it instead of griping about something we have no control over. Coach is adding depth as fast as he can.

Ding! I have followed recruiting for years, and this is by far the best group of players UAB has ever assembled, and it isn't close. We will add several more this weekend.......a lot of official visits Dec. 11-13!

Where can I find the visitor list?

I asked Drew about it. He said he was working on a list and should have something later in the week.

Normally it isn't know til about Thursday or so even if it were made public.

Currently, just behind Iowa (a minute away from being in the CFP) and Texas (recruiting budget larger than the GDP of many developing countries), and ahead of the likes of Okie State, Mi$$take, and Va Tech. These rankings are meaningless, especially this early, but that's still incredible.

UAB has over 600 days of "silly season" left before the football program's "meat and potatoes" are served. Recruiting and facility news is most of what we have to tide us over the 2016 year - with a side order of spring practice thrown in.

I guarantee you those recruiting rankings are not meaningless when coaches hit the recruiting trail late in the process. There are recruits retweeting that info; their teammates see it and want to be a part of "something special." The fact our program was killed and we restarted it & now have a recruiting class in the 40s is huge for recruiting because it tells kids we're serious.
