RE: stAte receives 5 verbal commitments this weekend.
Got another commitment today. That's 19 total for the year. Officially, we have only 19 open scholarships next year, but I expect we'll get a few more commitments to account for attrition.

We aren't done. These coaches will never stop recruiting until they get the best players that are willing to play at stAte. I'm not saying they will pull any offers from the ones already committed, but I don't think they will turn down anyone if they are better than what we got.

your statement sounds like your heading towards pulling offers....now that would be something, sun belt schools pulling offers for better players.

The ASU coaches have made it clear they will not lie to any recruit so if they have an offer they have an offer. One commit also made it known that they told him if he did not commit some one else wanted his spot.
I expect both statements are true.
You can do both when you win.

I don't see us pulling a lot of offers. There will be some that end up flipping and some kids on the roster leave of their own accord by the end of the year.

Just added another. 3 star RB Jamal Jones out of Memphis. This is ridiculous. We apparently move January up to July.

Not really shocking. This staff is probably the best in G5 when it comes to recruiting. Look for a lot of these players stock to rise considerably during their senior year.

It wouldn't suprise me if we get more than 25 commits. I just hope we don't have to pull offers.

A little early for that kind of talk. Nobody they have singed has played a down. I am very optimistic.

This Staff has promised they will not lie to a single recruit about an offer. If they commit to an offer, they keep that offer
What they have promised though is that they would help any player who is down on the depth chart and wishes to transfer, find another school. My guess is that the attrition of our own roster will set it up. Not to mention its not easy to keep 20 signed July recruits.
20 July recruits for a Sun Belt School is absolutely incredible though. Most SBC Schools would be thrilled with 10-12 heading into January.

Per 247 this young man tried to commit to Louisville (Petrino)in early May but they would not accept his commitment.......another "uncommitable" offer if sources are accurate.
Glad this kid found an early home....hoping Louisville goes 0 for 2014.

Its expected we will either crack, or be just outside the Top 40 on 247 once they update all of our commitments. That would put us 40 spots ahead of 2nd ranked USA league wise. It would also rank us 2nd in the entire G5 behind Cincy.

RE: stAte receives 5 verbal commitments this weekend.
ASU is just now beginning to update their official roster. Couple of surprises, but not sure where they are in their update. I'm sure there will be some further changes when all the players arrive.
Other than the QB position, this staff has been very tight lipped about what they have been thinking since spring ball.
I have 3 of the newcomers, that no one here is talking about here, among their top 10 players. Think only 1 is a question mark at this time. May have to set out this year.
