Spring Signing Day: February 3rd.

[UNTLifer]

So, we are just under two weeks away from signing day and it has been reported that we have about 7 scholarships to give.  Any predictions on how those seven are used, positions targeted, HS/JUCO/Tranfers and last minute surprises?

we don't get any back for all the guys leaving?

I believe the same rules are in place with the exception being the Seniors who return do not count against the 85 limit

Here's a question - With many JUCOs playing in the Spring, if we sign a JUCO should he be "encouraged" to Opt out of any games?

Jackson and Hutchings are already here. No games have been played since fall signing day so my guess is we won’t pursue any JUCOs until after their season.

Unless we sign a really good high school player who saw his offers dry up, I don’t expect anything on February 3rd. Maybe transfers but at that point it’s too late in the semester for us to enroll anyone for spring practice. Signing days don’t really have any significance to D1 transfers and that’s mainly where we will be looking.

Wasn't sure if PB might reach out to his contacts and grab a couple of JC players.
Speaking of PB - Is the hire "official"? I guess that's why we're not hearing other coaches being added?

He might. I’m just not expecting movement until after or during their season. Maybe there is someone he really wants and we get them signed up and opted out before their season starts.
