Disappointed we’ve only got 3 juco guys, given how much time they spent out there.

It is the early signing period not the final signing period.

I think we'll see a couple more today. Maybe even the two big fish -- Starling Thomas and Emmit Gooden.
12-20-2017, 03:43 PM
What is the holdup with Emmitt? Seems like he may hold out for a much bigger offer
12-20-2017, 03:54 PM
Two more (both JUCOs)
Kendall Parham - WR, 5'10, 180lbs (former USA commit)
Austin Watkins -WR, 6'3, 200lbs

A lot of variables.
Emmit didn't qualify academically for the SEC. He has said Arkansas is his top choice. Also, Emmit LOVES to be recruited. He verbally committed us prior to the UTEP game on his unofficial visit but word is he has given his commitment to multiple places.
A source I have at Memphis said he straight up told them he was coming on a visit to meet with Norvell last weekend. He never came.
With all that being said likely no one other than our staff knows what he's going to do.

He went live on Periscope last night and it was bizarre to say the least....

Are we expecting any more to sign today or tomorrow or are we done until February? Based on who we have signed and committed, anyone have insight on what our needs for the last 7 would be?

Maybe a surprise or two. Gooden is waiting until February and we're pretty much out of it.

Bingo. Classic case. I know for fact he verbally committed to four different schools since decommitting from Arkansas.

Could two or three commits actually be blueshirts?

We need secondary guys stat.
