I see on twitter we're picking up guys who are pretty anonymous - no profiles on Rivals or 247, no other offers from significant schools in CUSA or above that I can tell.
We're in a 14 team league. If I said we'd finishing 6th in recruiting, would you take the over or the under?
Those recent additions are all preferred walk-on players.
...I can't find anything on Teldrick Ross, DNJ says he has 11 offers, but none of the databases show anything (247 or Rivals) of note (247 reports a ColoState offer), and his only official visit was to Coastal Carolina. I'm a big believer in evaluating guys by their offer list.....
Looks like we could hit a homerun, or strike out.
I know on the Vol board, Norwood took a visit to UT, but UT is waiting on a bunch of other DBs. It's not inconceivable that they could whiff on all their guys though and end up tossing an offer to Norwood.

Campbell, Grate, and Branch look like guys who could be high level guys for us.
One thing is for sure - all those dang JUCOs better be able to actually play football. Our JUCO hit rate is abysmal.
I am also a big believer in looking at offer lists but how can a fan truly know which offers are legit, which are contingency offers, and which have already been withdrawn? I follow BkB recruiting much more closely than FB and have a really hard time knowing what is meant by an "offer". Even respected recruiting sites have much different offer lists for players who are not in the "elite" category.
I've been hanging out on the Vol board- re:Norwood:
Brent Hubbs, the Vol guru on their rivals site - they've been kind of making final picks on the guys the Vols are in on for tomorrow - he just said that he thinks the Vols will get a safety from Georgia and that MTSU will get Norwood.
So they are going to be lining up Campbell at LB?! Have our coaches ever thought of playing some of these guys at their high school position?

I'll say this about this class.
No, it's not going to rank highly, but as Wiley said, it's going to be light on numbers. If they get Norwood and Bragg, I think that'll be it. I don't envision any surprises tomorrow, but I could be wrong.
I do have a problem with some of the player evaluations this year. Matt Martin was a JUCO All American, and should be rated much higher. Jordan Branch should be rated higher. Chance Nolan should be rated higher. Chris Stamps should be rated higher. I lobbied for all to at least get re-evaluated, but it is what it is. So yeah, this class won't rank highly, but I honestly feel it's pretty good. They're filling a lot of needs and setting up their depth chart to be a battle royale for the next few years.
As for tomorrow, it's all eyes on Bragg and Norwood. Bragg is reportedly playing his cards very close to the chest, but MT feels good about the work they've put in there. Who knows what'll happen with Norwood and UT at this point. I think that's his choice, but there are others in front of him. 247 making him a 4-star player the night before Signing Day is an absolute joke. I think he ends up with MT but we'll see. Other than that, those who are committed but hadn't signed yet are all pretty solid from what I hear. Not expecting any defections..
ok, so lets say Stock only signs 4 today... that's 15 on scholarship which leaves 10 more to offer before fall kickoff.
I'm thinking Stock signs a lot of late qualifiers this summer
I think we need to relax. We typically don't have the highest recruiting classes and you still are one of the top FB teams in CUSA. Most of our best players were not anything more than 2* recruits.
