2025 Signing Class

[FU Hoopla]

Was a little surprised to see us go with 5 Freshmen instead of maybe taking 1 or 2 senior DII transfers in the offseason next spring...

Coach Richey must really like these 5 young men, looking forward to seeing their careers unfold at FU for as long as we can keep them!

Perhaps he's thinking that 1 or 2 players on current roster could opt to the portal in offseason, which would still leave the ability to take a transfer.

Was just thinking that with the new legislation men’s scholarship limit went to 15 so possibly 2 more? Men’s was 13 vs. 15 for women. Updated: the 15 limit is for next season 25-26 and you can now offer partials too so looks like we will have room for a couple of transfers if need be.

Oh dang I had not caught that news....
Very interesting.............

Will we still be allowed to carry the 3 walk-on next season?
(To go with the new 15 scholarship limit)

I don't like the idea of 15 scholarship players - just means the larger schools will have more elite players, with lower tier schools probably having to pick up more D2 level players. Given that most schools won't play more than 10 in a season, this will only lead to more transfers down the road.

The DII guys we have found have been pretty good so far…

Interesting to see not many other SoCon schools have decided to pick-up players right now...

Maybe we are just a hot/desirable product now and they are not
