    Just read an article on kicker we signed Kyle Ferrie out of Harding academy, Arkansas. Article is from scorebooklive. He hit a 65 yarder last year, soccer player. He looks like he is a special talent.

    I'm being told the bears have cooled on him, which is great news for us. The kid is a difference maker i'm told.

    I'll just go ahead and tell everybody, he's their late grab/flip target for this year. They're starting to try to make that move.
    I don't know how it will go, but they're back after him. Bama is hanging around too.

    Anyone got any recruiting "facts" they can share right now or even rumors? Genespage only shows 3 of our remaining targets "warm" to us.

    I’ll be somewhat surprised if that works

    Numbers are getting tight. We're being a little picky with most spots.

    I don't exactly understand "numbers are getting tight" when we only have 15 commits and so many teams ahead of our 38 or so ranking have filled or almost filled their classes. Are there a lot of very good uncommitted players still available? If so, Genespage certainly doesn't know who we are "targeting" and how many are "warm" toward us. Do we have any hope of a top 25 class? Thanks.

    I think this years results will determine what happens with the remainder of our class. I just have a feeling if we do well and look good doing it we could attract a couple more guys to move us up but at the end of the day we will most likely finish towards the bottom of the conference which is pretty normal

    It is what it is. My guess is that we are going to hold spots for the portal, and if covid seniors want to come back. We still are limited by the 85 limit.

    Covid seniors still count against the 85?

    We are full at QB, RB, and LB. We have 3 OLs committed and are looking for one more from HS. We are looking for one more HS DB. We still need at least 2 more HS DLs as well as one from the portal. We are also looking for one more DB and OL from the portal. After that, it comes down to what's available.

    This is very concerning. At your count, this would give us 22 commits, (HS & Portal), and then what's available. Many programs have about filled their classes. Just how many good players are uncommitted? Is NIL hurting us a lot? We are currently ranked 39 on 24/7 and with my non-coach background, I could count only 6 or so teams ahead of us that we should pass if we match or exceed our average player ranking of 87.25 which is where we are now. Hope we are strong on some players we fans don't know about and "what's available" are some diamonds in the rough we turn into very good players.

    We'll finish with a class that's ranked about the same as it is every year.

    This. You can just about set your watch by it. I will say though Leach, is making sure our roster stays more balanced than past coaches.

    Genes Page article (members only) says we are interested in flipping Gabriel Moore (edge), Troy commit (unrated) from Louisville. Anyone seen him play or have info?
