As of nearly noon, Furman has not apparently issued a press release. I guess that means they still may be waiting on more NLIs.

I believe that might be it for today… I know there is at least one PWO commitment.
Congrats coaches on a heck of a recruiting class.

Just another day to appreciate our social media folks and their approach to direct, clear messaging.
Some of our conference mates are just flat trying too hard on social. Like, what's the thought process here - see how many tiny letters we can fit on a tweet?
To each their own, I guess.

Hope this turns out to be a great class !! Weird year for SURE. Not sure how that worked with recruiting (for any and all schools).
one side note - I noticed that Wofford was also recruiting a few of the same kids from Texas. I always saw their recruits as either local or from Kentucky/Ohio (Ayers connection). Not sure where their Conklin is from but I admit that caught me off guard to see us competing w Woffd on the Texas guys...
EDIT: Conklin is from Wyoming and played in the Dakota region in the frigid north.. wonder if all the SoCon teams are expanding their footprint with too much saturation here ??

Looks like a pretty good class. Why can’t we get a QB? Our only QB recruit had only 2 other offers and they were not very good ones. Was he even recruited as a QB? We are one departure away(injury, academics, transfer)from having a slew of walk ons competing for the starting job. 
If you're a school like Furman or Wofford - Texas is fertile ground. In Dallas, lots of high-academic private schools play very competitive football. Myion Hicks a great athlete plus high academics - note the IVY and Patriot schools also offering. The other thing is at the FCS level there are no Wofford's or Furman's you have SMU, TCU, Baylor, RICE at the FBS level. One other add-on I bet Furman is the only FCS school not based in Texas that has a coach assigned as the Texas recruiting coordinator. - Pete Lusk.gofurman wrote: ↑Wed Dec 16, 2020 1:51 pmHope this turns out to be a great class !!

come on… you've said this before in the past with other players, be careful.apaladin wrote: ↑Wed Dec 16, 2020 1:58 pmLooks like a pretty good class. Why can’t we get a QB?

Jace Wilson is a QB and was recruited as a QB.
Jace committed very early to Furman. His dad transferred to Mayde Creek late in the off-season to be a coach on new staff, transitioning from a running team to a spread option. In what is considered the Texas high school district.
Jace is considered undersized at 5-11, and he appears to use that to play with a chip on his shoulder.
He's our man.
That’s what I suspected Astrodin. TX must have a rich deposit of football playing smart kids. I substitute teach all over Aiken Co. and I just don’t see many football players even attempting AP classes. The smart kids here don’t care about playing football. Their demographic likes to watch football. Apparently that hasn’t happened yet in Texas.
