Current 2018 Recruiting Standpoint

[AustinFromUNT]

Firstly, it should be noted that some kids don't have a 247 and 247 can be slow to update offer lists, but here is where each C-USA stands in regards to offers and commitments for 2018

C-USA West:

North Texas: 26 offers, 0 commits

LA Tech: 18 offers, 0 commits

Rice: 6 offers, 0 commits

Southern Miss: 68 offers, 0 commits

nUTSAck: 77 offers, 0 commits

UAB: 28 offers, 2 commits (1 4 star & 1 2 star)

UTEP: 0 offers, 0 commits

C-USA East:

Charlotte: 48 offers, 0 commits

FIU: 27 offers, 1 commit (1 3 star)

FAU: 95 offers, 3 commits (2 3 star, 1 unrated)

Marshall: 39 offers, 0 commits

MTSU: 18 offers, 0 commits

ODU: 24 offers, 0 commits

WKU: 22 offers, 0 commits

So offer # wise it appears we're towards the middle of the pack. The Florida schools of course already have a few commits. Kind of frustrating to see nUTSAck have so many more kids offered than we do.

what are your thoughts on the current state of 2018 recruiting and 2018 recruiting in general?

There's strength and security in numbers. Like Nick Saban, offer every kid there is and then it becomes a numbers game come signing day. Keep the one's you want and discard the rest.

I view offering this far in advance as a marketing move, which is great. Build relationships with the schools and have the offering's share it all on social media! The more the better! GMG

Only problem with throwing out handfuls of offers is if you start to get early commitments you have to start pulling offers on other kids and those positions.  Then if those commitments back out you could be in trouble.

UAB: 28 offers, 2 commits (1 4 star & 1 2 star)

Once that 4-star recruit figures out that UAB isn't the Crimson Tide there goes his commitment.

Update: UTSA just got a commitment from Sheldon Jones, a WR out of New Orleans. Isn't currently rated but 247 lists him as having an offer from Memphis.

[AustinFromUNT]

UTSA now up to 4 commits after they had Junior Day today.

[UNTLifer]

Hmm, okay.

UTSA wins this year, Wilson is gone. Then what?
