If the presented stats are accurate, we signed only 3 of 24 who are less than 6' tall. If they have decent speed, many can play more than one position and on both "sides" of the ball.

Incidentally, 13 of the 24 are instate signees.

I read that afterward in the other thread where McGee gives a quick synopsis of each player & he mentions that as well as what I said

I hope we don't run too late. As we were readying to leave here, a phone call from my wife's long time friend who now resides with her sons in Fairbanks, Alaska rang in. We shall see how long we are delayed.

Cell phone ?

Well w/ 23 signees so far can we still sign the 2 more that are allowed or are we done? Can someone ask McGee that question at the social (stuck at work) if we will or are the 2 held for walkons from this past year who maybe earned a scholly?

He said there could be more

HCGM still knows how to work a room

Bruscoe does not count against this years total.

Briscoe and Scott both should count towards last year. I think we can bring in up to four more if I'm not mistaking.

What about Reaves or Scott? Is Reaves getting a scholarship or will he be a walk-on starting out?

The biggest guy on our list.

This whole recruiting process is a joke.

A 2 star TE who runs a 5.02 in the 40 was our biggest guy?

You should step away from the ledge; you'd be a much happier person.

The biggest guy size-wise.

Sounds like a good class, hate I missed the event, but had to work late.

We signed as many players from the within the state as both UA and AU combined. Glad to hear that. I always want more in state kids.

I like that too.

I liked what I saw last night. I think the defense was definitely improved with the size and speed we added.

Offensively we shored up WR and got a center. We have a ton of speed.
