Carter Wood is saying he will be here come December. Another OT, should be a sophomore since he redshirted in 2016 another Miss. Gulf Coast product.

Like this TE/P/HL we've offered too

I've been looking for an updated list of kids who are UAB commits. I know I'm looking over it in an obvious place. Can anyone point me in that direction?

Bold names JuCo guys

Just doing the math here roughly, we had 14 or 15 Seniors on Senior day and maybe a couple of Juniors who won't return and we possibly were a few scholarships below 85 so we may have around 5 more signees than the 14 listed above.

Anyone else see this differently?

I thought HCBC said in an interview that we would sign a full class or nearly full class

Heard we sign a full 25, then give 4-6 walkons scholarships too.

Maybe. I'm not exactly sure how many juniors won't return & exactly how many below scholarship we currently are.

Clark said on one of the radio interviews linked on here that there were several players with remaining eligibility that will graduate and move on. He said they would basically sign a full class.

You would think with how often we made visits and how long we’ve been recruiting him we would’ve landed him by now. Clearly what it looks like is that we are Goodens fallback plan. Taking an unofficial visit to Memphis this weekend.

I feel you bro, but I'm still holding out hope.

Still got other interesting prospects on the board, like both 3* freshmen RB's. If both commit I'm bringing them in along with Tinch. Could have the best backfield we've seen since White,Burks,Elliott, and Chaney.

Washington chose WVU over us. I think if we had a stadium, we land him. Don’t sweat it though we’ve been kicking WVUs butt the last two years for Juco dbs and they’re all coming back next year. Had been wondering why Rakeem Boyd had not any offers while in juco. Picked one up today from Colorado. It’s possible he could have been late on grades(maybe not), and that’s why we had never offered considering the 3-4 backs we are currently after.

If that is the case, quite a few more will have to leave. I wonder how many JRS we have graduating in the next few weeks?
