Signing day
The first day of the early signing period is today, and it appears we're done for the day. By my count, we signed 12. Here they are in the order they came in:
DE Razah Townsend
OL Luke Zanotti
WR Tony Martin
DB Lorenzo Williams Jr.
RB CJ Hester
DL Sid Kaba
DL Dalton Gustwiller
TE Brennan Wooten
TE Jack Parker
DB Angelo Stockstill
WR Joshua Franklin
WR Logan Lester
MIA are Joseph Jean-Louis, Anthony Leadford, Delano Townsend. I fear we may lose Jean-Louis as he got an Iowa State offer late in the cycle.
I assume we will be bringing a LOT more players aboard between now and the next signing day in February. We must have at least 30 open scholarship spots right now and that number could rise.
That being said, I think we signed some good players today. I'm particularly excited about CJ Hester, Sid Kaba, Joshua Franklin, Logan Lester, Brennan Wooten, Dalton Gustwiller.

RE: Signing day
Are incoming freshman classes still capped at 25 scholarship players?

Yes, I believe so.

RE: Signing day
No Brennan Storer sighting at Vanderbilt. Wonder what happened or it's just a timing thing.

He goes to a massive high school in Texas. I am sure they are putting on a signing show for him and the rest of his team.

From a Vandy message board, sounds unclear there as well.
-class/
Then there's QB Brennan Storer of Dallas, a late "commitment" who has not signed yet, who would make 22. Vandy can't announce them until they have signed. Maybe someone else knows the deal there (greyshirt, PWO?).

RE: Signing day
Taylor seems really nervous. PJ owned the room day 1. Lester was too comfortable day 1. This guy idk yet. Of course Saban and Belichick aren’t great with a camera either

Thought that as well. He’s got a nervous tick going on for sure. He’s a stark difference than TL

I have read comments about him from louisville and ND fans that said he's very twitchy around the cameras but with the players and on the field he's a completely comfortable and in control. We shall see... His former players apparently really liked him.... so....
I thought his speech to his players that was caught on camera was darn spot on. Also that interview was at the end of a grueling week of travel for him ... he visited every one of the commits in person flying all over the country... after just up-rooting his family to get started with a move to Kalamazoo... That could leave a person a bit disconnected in an interview....

Taylor seems really nervous.
I interpreted his presence as wanting to get out in the field and work with his players rather than talking about it. Best of luck coach and Merry Christmas to you your family and to all of Bronco nation.
