We signed 18 players (B.J. Emmons, Dacoda Weaver, & Deon Woods cleared after the official announcement), 1 graduate transfer (Junior Diaz), and 2 previous transfers (Chris Robison & Jovon Durante) were put on scholarships.

The issue we faced was the maximum of 85 players under scholarship during a given year. Because we have so many players returning next year, our recruiting class for 2018 was going to be small regardless.

However, if a player graduates high school early and/or a JUCO enrolls in the spring next year, they can count towards the 2018 class. After next year, we'll have a lot of players graduate.

So look for us to possibly sign 30~ players in 2019 (Kyle Davis will also be put on scholarship).

Got it. I had saw just 14 on 247 site and I see there wasn't many SRs / GSs on your roster.

Looks like you guys used those limited scholarships wisely this year. Signed some good rated players.
