Freeman had slipped between the cracks. I understand perhaps one more from Florida may also have yet to be discussed on FlameFans.

Pretty small signing class so far compared to the previous Rocco classes

Bear in mind that you've also got to factor the spring enrollees into this class. That takes the number up a bit.

That would bring the number to 15.

Will the presser this afternoon be aired live or do we have to wait until the video is uploaded afterwards?

So the spring enrollees, even if they're freshmen, don't have to do this letter?

Correct.

[Rooster Cogburn]

OK I'm bored and yet edgy for the next wave. Hurry Up!

[SuperJon]

There's not another wave. That's it for today. Press conference at four will include the highlights of all of these guys plus the mid-year guys.

[Rooster Cogburn]

OK. Sly's Florida hint threw me off I guess. Fine class though!

[olldflame]

Just from a quick check, the only verbals that haven't signed are Pat Mays and Khalil Mack.

[Rooster Cogburn]

Following Wimberly, great.

[Rooster Cogburn]

So, I guess Pat Mays went somewhere else too?

[flameshaw]

Any news on Beecher expected today?

[Hold My Own]

You can book that one, regardless if you hear it today or not

[olldflame]

Pat Mays did everything but speak in tongues when he gave his verbal he was so excited about coming to LU. Could be just a technical holdup.

[TDDance234]

Mays got some late love from some SEC schools. I'd be shocked if he didn't get an offer from one of them.

I just went to the lists of every school listed on his Rivals profile (Auburn, Alabama, Georgia, S. Carolina, Middle Tenn.) and I didn't see him!

[Sly Fox]

His HS coach registered on the board the other day but hasn't posted.

this forum says that Florida, Alabama, and Georgia were all coming to Pat's Practices.

[Rooster Cogburn]

That was before he verbaled with us
