I think we are still waiting on Fredrick Logan, Max Eubanks, and maybe Jalin Edwards. Based on the list I've been keeping.

We had 15 commits and Furman has announced 12 signed so it looks like we are done for the day...

Per his twitter, Jalin Edwards committed to UNA. Yes , the picture looks like he's coming to FU but if you watch it, the diamond F disappears and "committed" UNA appears.

Do we have a prediction on which school will be the 1st school to which he transfers from tUNA?

Wow, the difference in scholarship value between the 2 schools is over $200k.

what positions do these guys play?

Also, I don't keep up with this stuff - i am about the older guys and injuries... LOL. How long until they have to sign somewhere? Until February sometime?

Two defensive backs and DL/OLB.

He and pretty much every other player is doing right by them. If he thinks he will fit better at UNA the more power to him.

The "cool" place to go would be indisputably Furman. Furman provides an incredible education, has a beautiful campus, good facilities, is becoming a perennial top 10 fcs football power, top 10 fcs defense, top in 10 fcs in sacks, top 10 in the fcs in interceptions, etc.

If defensive players look at all of that and decide Furman is not for them, it probably REALLY was not for them and given all of the above I have no dought the coaching staff can find players that are a good fit and REALLY want to be here.

Furman would of been the easy choice. The fact that he made a hard choice and decided on a 3-8 UNA team says something.

[gofurman]

do all guys have until February to sign? Or am I way off ?

in other words could the two unsigned guys wait until February?

All this portal and early signing and etc etc I haven't kept up... but I know if a guy turned an ankle lol

The early signing period is from Dec 20 — 22.
The regular signing period is from Feb 7 – April 1.

I have no idea what happened with the Edwards situation. I do know things can get messy when all the paperwork gets shuffled on signing day.

Concerning the size of the class, I'm not too worried about that; under CCH, Furman doesn't just throw an offer out there to get a body. Our coaches have to be pretty darn sure that a student/athlete offered is a fit academically as well as what the program needs.

On paper, this is an impressive class. I also like that it's a heavy offensive class. Three linemen, a quarterback, a running back, a tight end, and two wideouts. I also don't mean to devalue the defense signees - lots to be excited about there too.

Astrodin, thanks for the information!

I do hate thee as the one kid out at the last minute. That can leave you without time to find a good a replacement

^^^ We have no idea who is on the recruiting board… I sure our coaches have a plan.

I think it's also worth remembering that Hendrix's staff has really hit on a lot of their recruiting. So, it's a quality question, not a quantity question.

When you go back through Hendrix's recruiting class, one thing that jumps off the page is just how many recruits ended up playing a lot of football for Furman.

They get guys in, they develop them, and those guys form the core of the team.

I'll use the 2019 class as an example.

The 2019 was one of Hendrix's first classes at Furman and which made up a lot of the bulk of this team's experienced core. I believe the signing of players in December 2018 was only the second year of the "early signing period"

The 2019 class signed 9 players in December. Of that group, 7 ended up being key players for Furman (Barton, Johanning, Jumper, McCormick, Miller, Roberto, Toomey)

The 2019 class added another 7 in February, of which 4 ended up being long time players (Ryan, Chizik, Brinson, Anderson).

Of the 40 or so guys finishing their career at Furman in 2023, they largely started as a group of 16 players in 2019. 11 of those guys ended up playing a ton of football for us.

Also, some of Furman's best players have been guys that only had scholarship offers from Furman.
