Looks like we signed 13 today.

Matt Terrell, Former UVA linebacker, looks to be on board. he left UVA at the same time Landon Word did.

Houston says will compete for a starting Job at the KAT position.

At least 5 of the signees were in camp this past year according to HCMH comments.

That’s great for two reasons - it means the staff had a good chance to really evaluate them in depth, and it says our camps are helping feed the pipeline.

Terrell played in every game as a true freshman at UVA. He will be a great addition. Looks like a strong class overall. Also a couple of 2 star corners and a 2 star tackle as well.

Im sure some transfers will pop up in the coming months too. Hopefully we can get another DL as a transfer.

If Terrell is as advertised, he can come in and take Ankrahs Reps. Darrious Carter and Terell on the edges, Rondell and ? on the interior.

We are going to be really good again next year.

As asked in the 2018 FB Recruiting thread up above...

...one noticeable absence from our signee listing is Rakeem Davis, ATH, Charlottesville HS (Rashard's younger brother).

He was a long-standing JMU commit. Did we back off or did he? Is he waiting to sign tomorrow or Friday? Odd.

Amelio Moran had some big-time offers from Mizzou and UCF.

Believe all his other offers were FBS.
Nice get on a top 757 guy ODU offered too.

Is there a video yet? We need to hire Zach back.

Word had gotten more playing time, as I recall. Also, reports at the time said that Word and Terrell were roommates at UVa.

A thousand pardons. I misred. He played in 9 games as a true freshman. Glad to see everyone is keeping their eye out for fake news.

Anyone know what happened to Rakeem davis?

Madia said he expects Davis to sign in February but Houston couldn’t comment on players that hadn’t signed. Hopefully he isn’t waiting for other offers.

If he's shopping around, then the Dukes should be and likely are shopping around as well. That's an "if" because I don't know what the case might be. Not necessarily Rakeem of course, but some guys need test scores to get up for admissions. Others may just simply have a change of heart. It seems very odd though to wait if he's determined to be a Duke because everything has pointed towards that over the course of 2017.

was great to see a few of these guys with strong academics...one sports a 4.0 - nice!
houston has an incentive for a 960+ score on whatever that scale is... right at the top of the contract.

I know he has an offer from UVA.

Gross.

If that's your reaction to UVA, I would hate to see your reaction if he has an offer from Richmond.

I know Ravenel had a UVA offer. Hadn't heard that Davis picked one up too.
