Riley First To Sign

[Charlie NT 73]

Forest Rucker, MGS reports his LOI is in!

Big WR, 6-5, listed at 195lbs. Outstanding!

[Guest GrayEagleOne]

As of 11:25 six left to go....but they are big ones. Troy Franklin, Alaonzo Horton, Royce Hill, Darien Williams, Justin Edwards, and Gabe Hollivel. This is especially agonizing when we know that Franklin and Hill took visits recently and Hollivel was the last commitment.

My bad! It's Hollivay; not Hollivel. If he'll sign I'll promise to remember his name.

Justin Edwards now signed 5 to go.

Troy Franklin's dad has been on the board here, quite a bit this morning. I wouldn't think he'd be on here, if Troy was going to sign elsewhere.
