The current roster has 20 players from VA (5 from Lynchburg, Front Royal, Forest, Chesterfield, 2 from Woodbridge, Stafford, Arlington, Roanoke, King George, Woodberry Forest, Va. Beach, Appomattox, Mechanicsville, Purcellville, Salem). The Feb. and Dec. 2019 signing classes add another 5 (2 from Lynchburg, 1 from Richmond, 1 from Danville and 1 from Va Beach). Here is the current roster: http://www.liberty.edu/flames/index.cfm ... 9&teamID=9 Now, I'm not sure if last year's graduating seniors have been removed from this roster list, but I assume so since we are now into 2019.

I believe they have because Buckshot is listed as a senior not a junior.

I believe they have because they are not there.

Four more of the top 2020 athletes in Virginia added to the offer list.

Cameron Hunter is not registered with Rivals, but is the #10 recruit in Virginia on ESPN.

Great early commitment beating out 2 P5 offers !!! I am telling you ( once again ) LU can be doing this coast to coast when we commit to being a P5 Equivalent. The appeal is real

Are you just a novelty account? Just change your username to P5orBust.

How about I change it to CoulterMcCraceken - Ann Coulter - doggedly supporting 1 issue - but knowledgeable about it - and as annoying as McCraken - superfan to those who disagree but can’t come up with a reasonable argument against... .

Perfect!

Updated. Only three offers to update. Lots of commitments. Still 12 uncommitted guys with LU offers.

Jimmy christ is uva. Aj webb jmu (crazy) amd lamareon james unc.

Too many good players from the state, leave and sign with non-Virginia schools. This has happened more and more in past few years.

Here's the thing BC, if you look at the list in the OP, only three of the schools up there that these guys are committing to are not major players among the P5 schools (TCU, UNC, and Wake Forest). For the most part, they are signing with established major P5 programs where they have a chance at a) significant playing time b) significant exposure to pro scouts. If you look at the major players, LSU is in the SEC, UVa just saw Juan Thornhill get drafted on day 2 I believe, Penn State is Penn State (and James Franklin is doing some great work up there) and Virginia Tech will continue to rake in bigtime recruits unless they start to really fall off under Coach Fuente and the last of the Beamer kids moves on. There's a lot more to it than you may realize
