Commitment List Updated

[PhatOrange]

Parsons has been removed

19 in the fold; 18 if Smallwood is out.

Sales would be plus 1.

With the status of Phil Thomas and Dorian Graham it looks like there might be room for upwards of 24 commits this offseason. Hopefully if anyone else leaves they move soon. I’m sure we’ll know more in a couple of weeks; as grades come out and kids transfer mid-term.

[LeMoyneCuse]

Did I miss something with that LeRoy Owens kid from Florida? The LB from the really unsuccessful program? Is he not coming?

 

[Rocco]

Smallwood is in.

 

[GoSU96]

Smallwood is in.

Why do you think that?

 

[Rocco]

Why do you think that?

He straightened his academics out. Will be here.

 

[chakka3421]

Seems like DM likes taller players or is that my imagination?

So who are we still trying to get?

 

[Ozcuse]

With the seemingly worse and worse situation that's brewing at PSU is there any effort by our staff to flip any of their recruits who may be on the fence? Anyone in particular that we may have a shot at going after?

 

[GoSU96]

He straightened his academics out. Will be here.

I don't think so, we'll see.

 

[Rocco]

I don't think so, we'll see.

LeRoy Owens was my mistake. I'll have to update.

 

[CuseLegacy]

The loss of Adam Harris opens up another scholarship. Could be up to 6 available right now.

 

[PhatOrange]

updated LeRoy Owen's info

No.

 

[Noexcuse]

Maybe they won't fill them all and will save a couple for next year. I can't imagine they have 6 silents right now.

I'm not sure there's ever really a situation in college football that a program "saves" a scholarship (just given how much attrition there is naturally and how inexact projections are on these kids anyway -- derrell smith anyone?). But I would pretty much guarantee that this staff is not saving any schollies at this point. If there is a kid that could conceivably help and there is an opening, I'd have to imagine an offer will be extended.
