How many players can we sign this year?

Hopefully all of them. And it would be nice to have a couple surprise highly rated players too.

Very small senior class, only 13 graduating seniors. That's a starting point.

I meant how many in number can we sign this year? I see we have about 14 commits. Really concerns me that there does not seem to be any emphasis on recruiting ILBs? I think this position has been our biggest void in talent for the last 3 years and we don’t seem to even recruit the position aggressively. If you can’t stop the run consistently, you will never be have a good Defense.

I don’t get it...you’d think it would be an easy sell to a kid, with the chance at significant early playing time. Still bummed we missed out on Derrick Barnes two years ago. He flipped and went to Purdue right before signing day. He’s 6’1 240...played a lot as a FR and is 3rd on the team in tackles this year as a Soph. UGH!!! We could have used him big time.

There are 5 greyshirts rolling in from last years class as well. Barrow, Ragin, etc. I think we sign about 18 and the 5 from last year for 23. There has already been some attrition to underclassmen

Go Rockets !!!

Sorry misunderstood your question.
Now I have question. Are we no longer trying to scout the Pittsburgh area? WMU just had a CB commit today. Gives them 19 commits for this class. They are still at the top of the MAC. Followed by Miami and Toledo.

Great to hear about Ragin. He was our second most highly touted recruit, behind C Bradley. Had tons of offers.

According to 247, Jalynn Williams was #1 in the Signing Class. Ragin was about #8.
Players like Dumont, Cooper, Bolden, etc.were ranked ahead of Ragin.

From what I saw from Bolden he looks to slow and not athletic enough to play at D1 level. Hoping Ragin is ready to go. We are going to need him.

Noticed Washington State got a commit from ILB Jamir Thomas from Massillon.

Wonder why he wants to go someplace where the sun don’t shine? All it does is rain there

Not in Pullman. Fairly dry there in eastern WA.

Thomas was a runner-up for Mr Football in Ohio

Go Rockets!!!!

He asked someone what he should do about his letter of intent and they said....
