How many do we sign tomorrow? I am going with 13. This class will be unlucky for our competition. Unlucky?

Welcome Woods and Jones to North Alabama. Couple of fast playmakers at receiver. Looking forward to watching them light up the conference.

Landed a transfer DE from Temple. Really excited to see the two Powell teammates sign. Qb had recently been offered by Georgia State and Central Arkansas...glad we kept them in the class.

Looking like it will be a very small class... Maybe total 15 including February and after... With this extra year of eligibility, not a big senior class (3 players coming back, waiting on decision from others), and COVID times constraining money (scholarships), it will be good to keep the committed high school players and sprinkle in some transfers.
The big and most important class to building the program will be the class after the 2022 season (first year off transition, lots of graduates).

This class will be very important. Hopefully we can redshirt most freshman and then they can help during the first year out of transition. Exciting times, we definitely went after receivers in this class.

Looks like UNA is done for the day at 7 signees from them posting on Roarlions.com. No Oline (I think we are ok for now) and No secondary (Hoping KJ and Creighton comes back).

Like I was expecting, we will have a few seniors come back because of the covid season.
Will Evan's will return at LB
Cowens Jr will also be back.
Was told a few more will as well, but no names as of yet.

Remember this is likely about half our recruiting class. We will sign more high school kids in February that are holding onto hope for the FBS offer. The good news for us is that most FBS wrap up their class today other than Auburn who is working to get a coach. We get a taste today and than finish again in couple of months.

Welcome grad transfer Nick Haynes from Ole Miss. Should instantly help improve our tight end room.

The two from Arkansas look strong at Qb and at Rb. Right now we have two receivers coming in at 6’4 and also a speedster from Gadsden. We seem to identify talent at the skill positions on offense. Hoping to hear about couple of offensive lineman in next days to bolster future of the line. Defense we have the “Freak” committed from Florida. An exciting prospect with great size at linebacker. We could use a couple ends, tackle, outside backer and safeties. Class is shaping up. Early signing day should be fun in just two weeks. Early Christmas for Lions fans? Ho Ho Ho I hope so. Roar Lions Who is the freak?

I think he’s referring to Trent Richardson’s cousin from here in Pensacola. www.pnj.com/story/sports/2020/11/20/taylor-richardson-had-major-scare-but-overcame-escambias-leader/6336605002/
