For comparison - when did our verbals come in last season?

[Harry]

Right now in 2014 we have 11 verbal commitments. I thought it would be interesting to see where we are as compared to last year. At this time (Aug 15) of last year we had 8 commitments. This year we have 12. Last season we offered 4 walk-ons scholarships which probably cut into our total number. We will graduate a bigger senior class this coming year so it would seem we may have a few more to give depending on how many walk-ons we put on scholarship.

Good comparison. It also points out the value in holding onto some ships for later on, because there will be some good catches available then.

A couple of corrections: We have 12 verbal commitments (you say 11 in the first sentence), and I think it's Avery Fortenberry--I know that Aaron has completed his playing career at North Texas.

Thank you for that correction. I agree with you that leaving spots open makes sense.

Also, Chumley is on there but Jackson and Graham aren't. And Wallace is on there, so you can likely include OL Sam Rice as a commit at this point for this year's class

Yeah I had pulled them off after they grayshirted and left Chumley on so it isn't a 100% accurate list -- just trying to point out in general where we are in terms of traditional commits versus last season.
