With NSD in a few weeks how are your recruiting classes shaping up? Coming into the off season I was expecting Tech to sign anywhere between 14-18 but Skip has indicated they are looking to sign 20-22. Currently we have 16 commits so I am interested in who the final 4 may be. Tech appears to be (can hardly tell with 18 year olds) in final 2-3 schools for 2-3 guys that have some fairly significant offers. We have commits from some local players that we traditionally have lost to schools like ARK or TCU so I am hopeful we will close on some of these more highly rated recruits.

Limbo for WKU. We have had around ten kids decommit and the new staff is out hard trying to replace the losses

Big news for Charlotte is us trying to hold on to Florida's Mr. Football now that he is getting Cartel 5 offers:

Overall our class is shaping up pretty well.

Just got a verbal this week on a solid DL from Texas who had a PAC-12 offer in hand (Colorado) and enough interest from them that I'd call it a bit of a steal. Finally some good news!
Just got our new DC named this week and I'm sure he's a already big help on the home stretch.

We just had a 3-star RB from Florida flip his commit from Syracuse to UTSA. We're in line for our highest ranked recruiting class to date.

UTSAs recruiting is validating that you guys will become a strong contender in the west very soon.

FAU was apparently trying to steal our lead recruiter, but it didn't work/wasn't true.

In other news, FIU is putting together a solid class. Of the 20 known commitments so far, 18/20 are from either Miami-Dade or Broward counties. I love how Coach Davis is staying local and benefitting from South FL talent. FIU is also among the leading schools for two 4-star recruits, Latavious Brini (DB) and Kevaughn Dingle (WR). I think chances are they won't land those two, but it's cool to have guys of that caliber take official visits. I hope I'm wrong and Butch lands them!

Do I understand correctly from the football recruiting thread on The Parliament that Bailiff is also able to dangle a vacation in Australia (for the 2017 Stanford game) to recruits who sign with Rice on NSD?

I would think that perk would be worth something.

Not worried about it. Doc will be fine.
