A few guys to keep an eye on based on their twitter activity.

Dana Steele - pinned FU offer on twitter page, don’t see any others of note
TJ McElmurray - a lot of SoCon offers, Kennesaw St was most recent offer. Would be a big get. Not sure we have a WR like him on the roster right now (6'4-5")
Eriq George - Been quiet since his visit, but might be good he hasn’t posted about any other visits
Eric Weaver - VMI, tons of offers. No idea where this is going or when he’ll commit. Would be a nice addition though
Tyron Herring - Dartmouth, see above
Jacob Hefner - Long snapper, FU only offer of note I see
Ayir Asante - Holy Cross, tons of offers, no clue on when he’ll commit

Astro and others may have more to post. Will have more thoughts once we see who actually signs.

Wolfpacker… thanks for starting this thread.

This class on paper is really interesting. There are some highly recruited players. Some players appear under the radar. This is an uneducated address—I think Furman's past several years recruiting classes' success has allowed Furman to take a few players that appear under the radar. Digging deeper, you can see on film why Furman has offered.

One player not to sleep on… just made first-team Washington Post All-Met at WR.

GoFu, should be happy with this player, he's a 4:45 guy:

Listed offers from Stetson, Army, Columbia, and Butler.

I think we've gotten guys from Tampa Catholic previously. He's a guy that would occasionally show up when you looked at the coaches "likes" on twitter but his page never mentioned Furman as far as I could tell from the search feature.

Going to be a lot of linemen in this class!

Holbrook looks the the kind of WR that terrorized us this year. Tall and strong and can high point the ball.
