JayD said he wasn't sure if one of our guards was still committed. Wondering if that is Carroll. Thought we were expecting Redfearn to sign. Nervous on Carroll right now.

Redfearn said he was signing today.. the question is carroll?

Wow, looks like Sa'afi has bulked up and is moving to the DLine.

The site of 2 6’3 QBs is beautiful. Once Mason is gone in 2 years it will be curious to see who steps up after him.

This has me more excited about Martin than his height:

• Quarterback MVP at the Houston Next Level Athlete Showcase.

Bean's athleticism is what I love about him.  These two are a level above what we have signed in the past.

Right. Process of elimination points that way.

Carroll twitter as of last night still had UNT commit, and was filled with him retweeting UNT stuff as well. I think the questionable OG was the OG, Brown, from Conroe

JayD said this a few nights ago. Now that we have two of those three, I'm holding my breath until we see Carroll sign or JayD says he expects him to sign.

Ogunmakin supposed to sign at 11, Redfearn is supposed to sign sometime today, so that would just leave Carroll unsigned. A nice little 16 person class so far.

If we don't sign any more WRs in this class (which, I assume we will) I'll still be happy with this guy.  Hoping for big things out of Mr. Ogunmakin.

Update. 

Redfern signs at 3:30

Waiting to hear from wr we tried to flip last few days. He hasn't signed with committed team yet either. Doubt he signs with us today. But hopefully will postpone signing until February at least

Who would that be? Any other surprises we should be expecting?

Glad both QBs signed.. UH QB Commit Amie just flipped from UH to Syracuse today

[NT96]

Anyone have a list of Blue Shirts that joined the team in the Fall and count towards this class?

Also, are there any potential Gray Shirts Coming in next semester?

BAM!! Love the move. Should have some quiks based off past positions!

[GMG_Dallas]

With most of our commits being signed, any players left out there that are either committed but not yet signed or just uncommitted we should expect to see the staff pursue?

[TreeFiddy]

I must have been looking at the 2016 roster for Mt. Sac because it showed Sa'afi as a freshman and it also showed him as an LB and 235lbs.  Someone posted a link to the 2017-2018 roster ans Sa'afi was listed as a sophomore and showed him as a DE at 260lbs.  Looks like he was probably being recruited as DL all along.

[Hunter Green]

So how many ships are there left for February?

[MeanGreenTexan]

So I guess since the AD has released this official statement from coach Littrell, that we can deduce we're done signing for today?

If so, I'm not sure what's keeping Carroll from signing, but I hope he still makes it.    Gotta ask the obvious question: grades?

I think 4-5 scholarships left

Think the Early Signing for Football, helps try to level the field somewhat by allowing the G5's to lock up recruits before the P5 vultures come in last second to try and pick off. Yes the P5's will still get their 5* players at least now G5's can lock up players and relax.

Yes I believe this equally helps and hurts schools like North Texas. Like last year they could have possibly landed a few kids that flipped last minute. But I also see alot of kids Greg white and Nick Smith caliber that UNT benefitted from waiting and offers drying up. Going off the board today by settling and going ahead and signing

Agreed. Him and Greg White will be terrorizing corners for years

Merry Christmas, Mean Green fans!

GO MEAN GREEN!

I hope so.   I hope White can step right in for Smiley after being in the system for a year.
Would be nice to see Ogunmakin step in for Quinton Jackson, but he may redshirt.

But I'm assuming both of those guys are outside guys, and I don't really see either one beating out Guyton/Bussey for their starting jobs next year.
