What is National Signing Day going to look like for us?

[Michael D Huff AIA]

NSD is becoming more and more publicized every year.  What will it look like for us this year?  Do we know our class so far or is there a surprise "get" or two that will make our class jump up a few spots from the #21 that Rivals has us at right now.

I ask this question because I don't necessarily follow recruiting due to the decommitting and "opening up of recruiting" that goes on during the process every year.  I don't get excited when a kid "commits" because that can go away next week.  I get excited when they are on campus.  Hard to open up your recruiting when you are wearing the uniform.

Thoughts?

Some idiots rinse and repeat every year and have left a carnage of hypertensive posters and discarded handles that can stretch on for miles...

Yes nothing brings out the nuts like a loss, Coaching hire and Recruiting.

Amen.

In my OP I was hoping for a more condensed version of an entire thread.  That's OK though, this has been entertaining so far.

CBB will stand at a podium, and show us video of recruits that have signed. There will be a bunch of media and boosters there. They will ask questions. CBB will give answers only on the ones that have returned signed letters of intent. There will be a few woo pig sooiiees. and then it will all be posted on multiple media sites to watch over and over again. If there are any scholarships not used, then he will tell us what he is thinking without naming anyone.

That is what signing day will look like for us. Other than that, somebody would be lying to you if they say who all will fill the remaining slots, unless someone else announces before signing day.

LOL +1

We will sign the highest rated OT since Brey Cook. I think everything else will be pretty tied up by then.

I also think we'll hold a schollie for Dominique Reed in case he qualifies. If he doesn't, I think a walk-on will get it. I'm pulling for Kevin Richardson.

I hope it has balloons and dry erase boards like when Hootie was here. LOL

Well I think it will be the typical news coverage of several kids signing their NLI at various schools followed by short clips of either coaches/or kids expressing how excited they are about their commitments. I would expect this to be followed either later that day or perhaps the next with CBB reviewing the list of the kids to our newest class, discussing their merits, and perhaps giving some further insight into why we recruited them. Pretty much the same every year actually.

Its all hype until they hit the field.

[Seebs]

First week of August - see who made their grades and kept up their grades.  Many classes ahead of the Hogs will have commits not make it to the first week of August. Some like the sizzle, I like the steak.

With social media the ink never dries, the excuses and praises never end and the "if's, but's and woulda, coulda, shoulda's" will forever be wet, sloppy and at the front.

But you are correct sir, it does suck that a mans' word is not his word until the ink is dry.

Mike Tyson?    j/k  .... but close enough.

There's a great recruiting forum with most everything you seek.

But Hogville is the A1.

It's that important.

The biggest recruit left on our board is Toby Weathersby; a high 4-star OT who decommitted from Texas after the Texas Bowl.  He was down to Arkansas, LSU and Ole Miss, but most experts think it's Arkansas.  He's supposed to announce on NSD.

There don't appear to be any surprises on NSD, but you never know with recruiting.

Overall, we have a great class and it's strong from top to bottom.  The players of this class seem to have outstanding character, as well.  It probably won't be our highest ranked class in modern times, but it has the potential to be the best.

This thread is missing the famous SLEEPER recruit that I know someone on here knows exactly who it is but cannot muster the name due to swearing he wouldn't tell.  I mean some years we have 2 or 3 of these can't miss, high star, recruits that will be known on NSD.  We absolutely must have this recruit because the next really huge thread after this will be spring ball when we are showing hardly any of our play book on O or D so as not to tip off the competition.  Equally as important, If BA has a terrible Spring game, it will be because BB and Enos would only call plays that were near impossible to execute with the players around Brandon and the defense being played at that exact time and its all done that way so the competition won't be able to get a handle on just how good we really are, especially at the QB position.  These threads keep us all in suspense for the next several months and assist us in getting through the dogs days of summer.

Well, thinking back, our defense was much improved and most didn't realize it.

[PorkSoda]

your answer, so far, is here

Well, it will be early February, so probably a little cloudy, around 40 degrees or so.  Probably just a light jacket unless the wind blows.

LOL . . . that was a great, somebody needs to re-post that picture. It is hilarious. Had a recruit's name misspelled also if I remember correctly.

Knowing Ole Miss, the recruit probably misspelled it.
