Very good start, and begins to address our LB gap and probably our starting Jack for next season.

i really hope to see jayme Simmons, the Juco DT Collins and some JUCO OL starters sign today.

I think we are all hoping for some pleasant surprises, also. How about a nice four star offensive tackle or WR no one had connected with UAB calling coach after seeing the game last night and saying he was in? That would be sweet. We can dream, right?

Will Rykard 2* center Coluquitt Co Ga. 4 year starter

Where are the WR? The roster is absolutely depleted at that position headed into next year.

Keondre Swoopes 3* corner from Hartselle

Alex Wright 3* LB from Elba. Had offers from Duke, Vandy, Louisville and Virginia

Looking good! Go blazers!

FWIW. Last year we were 8th and the year before that we were 9th.

Well, signing Jayme would be the cherry on top of our bowl of ice cream. May your rumor prove to be true. Clark did tweet 100% for that weekend. Early returns suggest he meant they all committed.

Also hearing that Rashard Revels has signed!

Wow. If both Simmons and Revels also sign today this may already be our best signing class ever wrt recruiting rankings.

Now we need some defensive tackles and WRs.
