Assuming Blueshirts would be Jermaine Brown, Jarius Thomas, Matt Quinn, Shaakir Smith.
Robinson flipped to Kansas, Merritt signed with FAU, Elder With Charlotte.
Clearly looks like we missed out on better talent than we signed in December because we didn’t have spots left.
Just my opinion.

How was the Signing Day Social? Any new or interesting info?
RE: Signing day thread - Ranger1386c - 02-06-2019 10:15 PM
Richmon Singletary from Elba (team mate of Alex Wright) signed with UAB today as a scholarship player, according to the Dothan Eagle. Looks like a 6 foot 180 lb safety/RB. Had never heard his name associated w UAB before today.
RE: Signing day thread - UAB Band Dad - 02-06-2019 10:33 PM
Coach said that we had several guys in the bag that he could not talk about since they were not signed/had issues. Mentioned that a couple of guys were going to have to start in JUCO.
Names on tonight's recruit handout:
Abrams, Conner, Fair, Lucero, McDonald, Damien Miller (but not his brother), Penn, Revels, Rykard, Simmons, Larry Smith, Swoopes, Trehern, Wells, Wright.

Missing Grossman and Jordan Smith I think.

RE: Signing day thread - Ranger1386c - 02-07-2019 09:02 AM
So, is it just me, or was yesterday the most unusual signing day experience ever for UAB football fans?
I realize the process is not yet complete for several players and they probably cant talk about blueshirts.
The brief video clips from the signing day event contain little information. Did they talk about the signees?
Im still not clear on who all signed a scholarship and who is a blue-shirt and which are PWOs. Did we get the tight end out of GA? How about the RB from Pensacola? The JUCO DE? Any transfers? Has the university released any info yet, as is usually the case in signing day?
Thanks.

I suspect the new early signing period was where we made the most progress.
In doing so, the later signing period may have been used to fill needs here & there.
But yes, it was quite different than what you would expect.

This makes the most sense, and I think many of us figured that was what was happening about mid afternoon yesterday. Clark is always prepared, so I'm not concerned at all, it was just a really odd day.

Had never heard his name associated w UAB before today.I'm from Elba and got a PM last night (Wednesday) from Ricky Mularz, the sports editor for The Elba Clipper indicating Richmon was headed to UAB. That makes two former Elba Tigers on this year's roster!

i cannot find a place where i can see the signing from yesterday
can someone help me tks
RE: Signing day thread - the_blazerman - 02-07-2019 11:24 AM
Well, it's not on UAB's site & it certainly as hell isn't on al.commie's site from what I can find.
RE: Signing day thread - frenchbeef - 02-07-2019 12:07 PM
An interesting note from last night - no discussion of Jordan Smith. He wasn’t listed as a December signee on the sheet they handed out. I wonder if something happened with him academically or if he has already left the team? I was very excited about him at the jack LB position.

And Grossman
RE: Signing day thread - BAMANBLAZERFAN - 02-07-2019 03:06 PM
After this year's signing period is completed, what will be UAB's class standing line up for this time next year? EX: How many rising seniors will be exiting the program after next season?
RE: Signing day thread - the_blazerman - 02-07-2019 03:22 PM
I counted 22 juniors and/or redshirt juniors on the roster.
Some may have left after the season due to graduation.
We may have a graduate transfer or two come in. Just throwing the possibility out there, no knowledge of such happening though.
Would leave a decent number of seniors leaving after next season.

RE: Signing day thread - the_blazerman - 02-07-2019 06:58 PM
Clark may have a couple that he is holding out for late late signees as well.

Were you at the signing event? If so, did Clark talk about any signees beyond those who signed in Decembers early period?
