Astro, maybe you can clear something up for me ... when you say offer, does that mean that that particular school wanted to provide said player with a full ride scholarship? Because even though Rutgers is dog crap, if they wanted to give Jumper a full ride to play in the Big Ten and he chose us, that's absolutely remarkable. Same with App. I'm impressed we can keep beating them out with how impressive they've been in FBS so far.

great question…I'm on vacation so I had time to kinda research and plan for today. Here's what I'm doing, I check Rivals, 247 Sports, then I've gone through each players twitter feed and hand counted they're tweeted offers by each school. These are full-ride offers — schools now make a big deal out of the offer - actually design a DM tweet. So I'm confident in what's listed. And we should be excited — this is a helluva class.

Congrats Jack Barton — welcome to the family.

What are the numbers on Barton? Dude looks tiny for a DL.

That's awesome. Thanks for your hard work. If I'm Jumper, I guess the decision might have come down to do I want to be on a team that will win 2-3 games tops in one of the best leagues in the country and may or may not see the field, or go somewhere close to home where I can compete to play right away and also compete for conference titles and play in the playoffs. Plus an elite education. Not everyone would choose the later over the former, but some do. And for that I'm very thankful.

6-4 235… check out his film Bootie - he does have the frame to get bigger — another BIG pickup.

Better pic of Jack Barton…

We've learned not to put much stock in star ratings — but I do think offers are a way to evaluate - still, a player like Devin Wynn slips through. We have to remember Furman was Wynn's offer FBS offer.

Jumper, McCormick, and Barton had 59 offers. And most of the others had 9 or more each.

Congrats Devonté Jones — welcome to the family.

Looks like we have everyone in for this class.

The only name I think that is a scholarship offer, commit, and didn’t sign today was Slay.

He’s been “in the family” since 1978.

Uncle HKB60 was an All SoCon OLman and part of 4 SoCon Championship Teams.

Coach said two commitments asked if they could sign in Feb and were granted permission. Three commitments did not sign today: Slay, Kimmelman, and the DB from Alabama. The latter only committed this week so not surprising.

Awesome work Astro. Do you have any info on the last guy to sign Dominic Roberto?
