RE: 2017 Football Early Signing Day Thread
Dear steve,
Thanks for the information on Turan. As a Juco I couldn't find him anywhere I looked.

RE: 2017 Football Early Signing Day Thread
Big story for me is the number of JUCOs. We are scooping up JUCOs more than I would have expected.
Surprised by the number of DL and LB from the JUCO ranks. I perfectly understand the JUCO WR and TEs.
We have depth at the DB positions, so fortifying the already strong DL + augmenting LB = very strong defense in 2018.
We still have Gadie and Whitmer outstanding from the known verbals.

I agree.
The big thing, for me, is to fill graduation holes:
1) WR/TE - yes. Big hole. Two JUCOs so far with Whitmer still expected.
2). LB - we graduated a few and replaced them with JUCOs.
3). Less critical but we added depth on the DL which will face graduation losses after 2018 season.
As E'Tough noted, QB is the big question mark TBD.

RE: 2017 Football Early Signing Day Thread
The EMUFB account will usually tweet out something like: "Presenting the class of 2017-18." with all names of signers listed. So once we see that tweet, we'll know the coaches have told the media relations team 'we are done.'
No such tweet yet, so there are probable signers still out there. Meaning the coaches do not think we've lost the last two commits.

But I agree with '79 and Steve. This is Creighton's best class thus far. Good job filling holes.

and it never happens before noon. It is typical for a late signee or two to occur in the afternoon.

247 currently ranks our class 5th best in the MAC, and that's without the un-announced commits that signed today.

It appears that EMU is seriously loaded at DE. Add the 2 new JUCOs plus a HS kid to what they already have. Wow!

WMU is getting rave reviews (self review) for their class.

Meh. Fleck did the same and they dropped off big time with Lester at the helm. If Creighton can keep EMU in the Top 5 going forward we'll be able to compete with anybody.
MAC is mostly about finding the 2/3 star kids and then providing the proper coaching and development.

RE: 2017 Football Early Signing Day Thread
EMU FB has released a signing press release with 16 names.
http://emueagles.com/news/2017/12/20/emu...eriod.aspx
Three names are missing:
5. Logan Giordano, WR, Hollywood, FL (07/24).
6. Charles Gadie, ATH/CB/WR Douglasville, GA (08/01).
14. Jacob Whitmer, TE, Chaffey College, CA (12/7) *
Don't know if this really means we are done for this 72 hour period?
Certainly have the opportunity to sign more in Feb assuming scholarships are available.

Yeah, there sometimes might be reason for not signing immediately, but he does seem solid.
I'm really worried about Whitmer. Don't know if he is supposed to be a December grad or what and if so, he should be signing NOW.

RE: 2017 Football Early Signing Day Thread
BTW, the big story line from the CC video: 8 or 9 of the recruits, both JUCOs and frosh, will be coming in next month.
Most early arrives of the CC tenure.

Worst case, still have Odukoya, and Kemp coming back healthy should continue to develop into a pretty good player.

That is big. From the looks of them, every single one of these Juco's will likely see the field next year, and most will find themselves in the 2 deep.
Hearing anything at all about Grissom or Mackey?

A few questions
Anyone who was a verbal ended up not signing?
Is EMU having a recruiting social type event?
Did CC ever say how many spots they have open and if they plan on signing more guys in Feb?
