Anyone’s guess with these young men and their thought process. Let’s have some fun here and take a guess at how many juco transfers and high school prospects sign early with our Lions on Wednesday? I am going with 5 juco transfers sign early and will be there for spring practice. I also think we see a shocking amount of high school players sign early, going with 7 early high school prospects. What are you hearing/thinking on early signing day? Exciting!

The Brandon Lee article just talks about track and field and cross country... |

The running back from Pearl River juco that committed looks good. Ron Thompson. The big TE also is impressive. Hope we pull Pillians...maybe Lopez can convince him to come here?

Expect 4 early juco signees....most we can have in the spring. We have a shot a couple of other juco oline guys that may be January guys. Expect a decent group of high school signees. Tomorrow should be fun....great day for football program.
Roar Lions!

Where are you guys getting updates on our commitments or targets? I've poked around the web but can't seem to find much. To be fair I don't follow recruiting much. Too stressful to worry what an 18 year old will decide to do  |

I was searching around and found that about APSU. I think most of this stuff goes on via Twitter and I'm not on there.

For some reason I had simply been waiting on the UNA Twitter account, but I haven't seen anything from them. So I did some searching and found tweets confirming the following guys have signed... - LB Brandon Pierre, 6'0" 225, Northwest (MS) Community College - RB Jaxton Carson, 5'9" 204, Northwest (MS) Community College (Carson was a 2-star recruit out of Phenix City who originally committed to Kennesaw State) - OT Russ Green, 6'3" 270, Jasper HS (AL) - S Creed Parker, 6'2" 202, Hewitt-Trussville HS - DE Tyler Antkowiak, 6'5" 227, Hewitt-Trussville HS - T/DE Kenny Rawls, 6'4" 225, Battle Ground Academy HS (TN) - ATH Parker Driggers, 6'0" 175, Brantley HS (AL) Adding to this list as I find them. |

Interesting. Willis said they are taking a bit of the North Dakota State approach by signing kids that have height, but may need to put on some weight.

Ethan McMullan was a great get...very athletic And natural size. Thompson at running back is the homerun threat we have missed since Thompson.

McCallum will likely have an immediate impact on our oline. Thompson will add splash plays that have been missing in the run game. Parker at safety has great size, could be a very impactful player early. Hopefully we can redshirt some of those guys. We are still in it for some other juco oline guys....guess they are holding for that elusive FBS offer? I also noticed Rinke from Athens did not sign with Southern Miss. today? I hope we still have a shot at him, could be a nice addition here. I hope we land a couple of defensive tackles soon...need some players there soon.
