Seems like a good start-Would much rather have us take guys with no other offers in March vs. December.
Both look pretty quick for their size... can't wait to see what happens after a summer and fall at training table and in the weight room
Blake looks like he uses good leverage... staying low... I liked seeing him take on a double-team and clearly deciding to simply occupy them until the back made a move... shook them and then made the play
Faaeanuu looks strong... but also seems to block 'high'. Will benefit greatly from some good technique coaching
I'm not remotely an expert in lineman, but I spent a lot of time around them. Bloato-Ball still lives.
Thanks for making this a sticky. I'll try to update it with the additions and inevitable deletions.
3rd commit is FB Marshall LB Kenny Seymour (6-2, 225). He has 120 tackles as a sophomore at Clear Falls, and 140 tackles as a junior at Marshall (one of the best 5A programs in the state). I've seen one service that lists him as a top-10 LB in the state.

Really good player. May be tough to hold onto him if the big boys come calling.
Another LB commit today, Aidan Siano out of Prosper HS. Looks like a nice pickup as well. Also ranked in the top 10 linebackers in the state by at least one service.
These first four recruits look really good on film. Hope they create momentum for other commitments.

Hebiesen from Elw's list committed over the weekend - commit #5. 6-4, 225 TE.
Wonder if there will be any significant repercussions...
Guys who were 'projects' with an extra year to develop at g5 vs guys who were 'early entry's' who will move on 'as scheduled' anyway from p5?
Of course, with the new ease to transfer... I'm guessing we'll see some of those projects take that extra year to 'graduate' and then replace those guys at p5 as well.
Not intending to hijack... just wondering if it gives us a shot with guys who might not have previously considered g5
DJ Arkansas commits to Rice!

Good pickup.
It appears that many of his best offers were of the commitable variety which is nice to see...
Not like the guy The Roost was hyping up as "Rice beating LSU" for...

To those of us who don't know all the ins and outs, what's an uncommitable offer?
