i imagine football recruiting has gotten significantly more difficult with the covid year exemption and the portal rule changes.i see we have eleven committments so far,but how many will we lose from our current roster?very difficult to predict.once we get through the last of the covid extra year athletes it will ease a bit.but do you hold open a few spots for incoming transfers,or to replace unanticapated transfers out?
guess you just do the best you can.
Some schools are going to be in for some hurt related to this. Wofford is going to be in a complete rebuild. Under Hendrix Furman's been very strategic when it comes to recruiting. The coaches have to based on the cost of a scholarship offer at Furman.

My guess is Furman signs 15-16 and some PWOs.

It is complicated for us (the fans) to know who is returning, but I'm willing to bet our coaching staff has a pretty good idea of who they have to replace.

This weekend appears to be a big official visit weekend.
Lewis and Vaughn just made an in-home visit with George yesterday.
George would be a BIG pickup.

It would appear a number of our committed players plus a lot of those we have offers to are coming to campus this weekend for official visits.

I suppose it is positive that at this point in the calendar these guys are coming to Greenville and not using one of these limited weekends somewhere else.

In a just world, they would be coming to watch FU beat Richmond in a Quarterfinal game and then wish the Paladins good luck in their semifinals rematch the following week in Birmingham.

It is not a just world. :(

It isn't, but with signing day around the corner, it's better they are at Furman than elsewhere.
