So we are waiting on Parker and McGill from Maryland and McGill???

Is that about it???

Steve to recap Wilkes the WR, McGill DB/WR and Parker DB and Wade RB/DB out of Toledo these are guys I would expect to sign based on long term verbals, Wade worries me as he had 5 MAC offers. Also who knows is the staff getting more "surprises" good and bad and having to adjust? Happens every year guys expect P5 schools to honor their offer and get left out in the cold. Do we have some undecided that we pocket some scholies for? Its a real chess game.

Smith, a big DT from FL is in.

Just say Greg post that the number is 24 don't know if that includes preferred walk ons or not. If not we have a ways to go. I'm at 16 in the scholie base but also don't know how many of the early signees count towards the 2016 class so we could be close to being done.

This list as of 11:00 has 19 names listed. So if Steiner is right that the total will be 24, five more expected...

don't we have a signing day special for EMU at 2pm on ESPN3? Are we going to be done by then?

By the way very pleased so far a very solid class

Seems like our recruiting is like the Iowa caucuses: Can't be wrapped up before the news hour... (2:00 p.m. per this announcement).

Aaron Parker, Brandewine, MD to Rhode Island.

I was getting bad vibes when hour after hour no word...

Kind of a shame for me, because I'm friends with a family of a (former) AAU basketball teammate of his... (those kids change AAU teams as they get 'recruited' by better AAU programs. Yes, those good AAU basketball players are getting recruited by other AAU teams in the 8th grade. ).

Now I wonder about McGill who is also a S and also from suburban Maryland and no word on him, yet.

Glad to see Wilkes in. If Steve is right there would be 2 more after Wade and McGill.

Well Wilkes and Colon are good friends if we got Colon it would be quite the coup.

This day has become nearly universally despised by sports writers, and for all the right reasons.

Not sure if I'm having bad vibes about McGill.

Found his Tweeter and he follows the recruiting coordinator/safeties coach for Norfolk State...

I think things were happening with us and DBs...

I believe Wade is going to Trine U (formerly Tri-State U. in Indiana).

I think the head coach at Norfolk is Howard Figgens our old RB coach.

Wow 5 MAC offers and this. Well if Parker, Wade and McGill are out it makes it very interesting to see what happens.
