Btw you have to wonder if freeze was referencing humes when he said he had to twll a couple kids they werent fits in his press conference.
Don't think so on those 2 scholarships. If they were committed anyways no reason to. Those will hopefully be utilized as we approach February.

So what happened with Humes? He seemed to be one of our better recruits.

Without counting Aaron Levins, Durrel Johnson, Chase Mitchell, Marcus Haskins, Louis Taylor, Anthony Butler, and the expected signings of Lofton and Hobbs we sit at #101 on 247. I'm happy to throw 247 in the trash. Unless you're inside the top 50 or so they do not give you or your recruits the attention for an accurate ranking. Additionally I believe Willis should show for this class the same that Tim Glass is.

18 Officially Signed.
Waiting on Biggins and Daniels confirmation to put us at 20.
Hobbs and Lofton are expected which will put us at 22, with only 19 being scholarship I believe.

Technically, with Biggins(3 star), Aakil Washington(3 star) and soon to be Jaivian Lofton(3 star) it moves us from 100th to 95th in the rankings. The problem with 247 is two-fold: 1. (Like you said above) they do a horrible job of updating non-P5 teams(rivals does a much better job of this). 2. 247's database for juco's lacks severely! (No Marcus Haskins, No Durrell Johnson, No Trevor Hobbs, etc.)

Also, at this point we are ranked 83rd in Rivals(without Deon Biggins being listed) and we will move up once they add the points from Biggins, Coutras, Haskins and Johnson.

Rivals doesn't even have a Liberty page that I can find. They have them on the team rankings list, but no page to see what recruits they have assigned to LU.

So we signed everyone we expected to sign, except the WR Lofton, who is a JUCO on the west coast and is expected to sign? Glad there have been no disasters.

Just another perspective when looking at 247. When you look at our teams page one thing to pay attention to is the Average player ranking. This is significant because it tells us the quality of the players we are getting. Though we will finish the day ranked somewhere between 95th and 100th according to total points. There are 43 teams with a lower player average than us. This is also without Biggins, Washington & Lofton added to the list as well as Cameron Hunter being dropped from 247's list of LU commits.

The quality of players HCHF has brought in is putting us in prime position to keep the program headed in the right direction. I believe this will only get better as the years go on with him as our Head Coach.

The JUCO WR Lofton was supposed to sign at 1PM Eastern. Any word on him? Edit, never mind, it looks like you included him on the running blog.

Stacey marshall ended up at arizona. Guess he was not visiting here after all and we pivoted to hobbs who may or may not be signing.

The staff may be all wrapping up practice before announcing any others.

So, we're sitting at:
19 Scholarship Signees
3 PWOs

Awaiting:
Hobbs
Rumor QB

Will have 4-6 scholarships to hand out over the next couple of months. Hopefully will get 1-2 Grad Transfers as part of that.

Maybe hobbs wasnt all in or academics were an issue. He and humes are puzzling and maples to a small extent.

Mike james was no surprise. We had heard academics with him for several months.
