Is the early signing period

[tired]

just that, a period of days? It's not just one day? Who do we expect to sign?

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

December 20th thru 22nd. We should sign 15 plus which will be most of our commitments. Sounds like everyone except Lovett, Fudge, Patterson, & Watson out of the current commitments will sign early.

 

[Turd Ferguson.sixpack]

Patterson is going JuCo anyway, so really only 3 "real" commitments won't sign tomorrow.

 

[57stratdawg]

If tomorrow we sign Guidry, Whop, Murphy and Heath. That’s some pretty serious firepower.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

Although they are not receivers, I would add Mayden, Dolla Bill, & Cumedy, Carvin to your list. This should be our highest quality signing class that I can remember.

 

[coach66]

Yep, it's a very solid group.

Lovett is commit just for Flipmas purposes.... Ole Miss is setting up for a big Flipmas Celebration....

 

[57stratdawg]

Yeah. No doubt. Considering the coaching change, this class is damn solid.

You may be correct but doesn't sound like he will be signing early one way or the other. If we pull in Carvin and Jason with what we have already that's a very good haul with or without Lovett. Would love to hang on to him though.

I have zero inside knowledge, but history tells me a couple less than we want will sign tomorrow.

Exactly. We should all mentally prepare for signing half of what we expect. If kids have any bit of doubt at all other schools will talk them into waiting to sign in Feb.

There could certainly be 1 or 2 but most kids that are committed are going to sign. They will want to nail down their scholarship and be done with it. For the most part the only committed ones that won't sign tomorrow will be guys that aren't really committed or maybe the school wants them to wait. I can tell you that if a guy is committed but won't sign it will be a red flag to most coaches to start planning on a having a replacement ready. Now guys that haven't committed anywhere, that's a different story.

Is he looking for a handout?

For us, it looks like we are asking Furdge to hold off. And then we have Watson, Lovett, and Mcdowell to sweat out. Lovett is probably going to be a battle. I'm guessing AU told Watson to wait. And McDowell is going to take some visits. If we don't sign Carvin tomorrow and we lose McDowell then we are going to have to scramble. Regardless, we still need another OT and we have to find a legit corner prospect.

I read an article somewhere that a couple of our top prospects weren't planning on signing early because they wanted to sign at a big school signing day celebration with their teammates. Seems like a few won't sign tomorrow but no need to panic.

Nope, that was Mayden, but he changed his mind. We should have 15 commits sign tomorrow. Then hopefully Carvin and Whop giving us 17 total signees. That will leave us room for 3-5 signees to target between Dec. 20th and Feb 7th. Lovett, Watson, and McDowell will be 3 of those targets. Looking like Ryan Winkel from Memphis will be another target. Then hopefully we can identify a commitment from AU/LSU/UA that they didn't allow to sign with them.

 

[Villagedawg]

Some will sign today

since it's the last day of school before Christmas in some places. But the letters will get faxed tomorrow.

First I've heard of McDowell not signing. We only signed one HS OL last year that got in so even if things were to go well tomorrow we would only be signing 3 OL (Johnson, McDowell and Carvin). Certainly don't need to miss on any of those. Would be even a much bigger deal losing out on Cole Smith if we were to lose McDowell since they are both projected as Centers.

Yep, he's most likely not signing. Just had his state championship game last weekend so he hasn't been able to take any official visits. That's the spin, but if UGA came in with an offer, he would be gone.

No, we pulled his team mate's offer... Ole Miss will offer a packaged deal.

Marcus Murphy signed today, for this reason I assume. Check the twitters.

 

[BearcatBully]

Check out his Twitter pic of his signing. INTERLOCKING MSU!!!

 

[Joe Schmedlap]

Package deals made possible by losing fewer scholarships than the number of proven level 1 violation infractions. Still SMH over that one.
