[Coach J]

This kid is good and he should have a tremendous impact.

 

[Exit 4]

Okay- so we have the four known players. Now wait to see if we get Cam Ross and Rian Haigler next.

And for surprises...

 

[Exit 4]

20 signees means we will have some open slots for tranfers and late signees. Let’s remember we picked up Kevin Mensah well after signing day two years ago.

 

[Exit 4]

And if we have 20 signees then I think we have one surprise name to expect. Could it be Gourdine? Overton? A grad transfer surprise like Art Thompson? Or someone like Matt Drayton that visited the program back in the fall and seemingly hasnt been involved with other programs since.

Art Thompkins was with the first group of signees. So it looks like we have 2 to go, hopefully Rian Haigler and Kenny Logan. Then maybe we grab a grad transfer or late signee in the Spring.

How many players are we expecting to sing LOIs today?

 

[Coach J]

Say it ain't so - looks like Logan might be going to KU and Les Miles. I will caution that it is not official yet.

 

[Coach J]

Brett Seither to Georgia. Ouch!

 

[Coach J]

Dal'Mont Gourdine is deciding between us and Tulane today at 2:30 ET. Rumors say Tulane leads but I have no idea who our other 2 could be if he isn't one of them so...

 

[Coach J]

3-star TE Micaiah Overton has signed. He chose Liberty over Arizona State, UCONN, UAB and others. Bummer!

Matt Drayton is one of the 2 see above.

We've had our fair share of big-time receivers. This one has all the makings of being another for the Kats. From Mansfield Legacy HS, welcome Ife Adeyi!! #EatEmUpKats

 

[Coach J]

DE target Steven Linton will announce at 10:30 a.m., per his coach.
