Countdown to Early Signing Period: FINAL DAY
- Thread starter Buffnik
- Start date
If MM's presser is at 3pm today, I assume they aren't expecting anyone else today...
I wouldn't make that assumption. I think it's more about wanting to give the local news outlets an opportunity to get things edited so that we're on the 5pm news. (Heck, I think NBC local does its first nightly news broadcast at 4pm.)
I hope to be wrong!
What could possibly be airing on the P12N instead of a signing day show? Not that I'd be watching, because I'm at work and all, but...
They're re-airing college basketball games. South Dakota at UCLA is on right now. Princeton at USC to follow. Then we'll have a couple episodes of The Drive replaying football games from this season in the condenses 60 minute format. This is embarrassing. Should be airing all the coaching pressers and doing a whole Mel Kiper type studio thing today.
But hey! 100% ownership!

The ownership is great and so was the idea. The execution needs improvement.
Looks to me like they maybe left a few interns there to cue the next recorded sporting event (other than a live men's or women's bball game per day) and everyone else left for the holidays. They aren't even doing their normal live "Nightly Sports Report" show.

Except for the BIGN and SECN
Completely ridiculous.
Pretty good info here. Davion Taylor's story is pretty incredible. Didn't play HS football because of religious beliefs and couldn't compete on Friday night. Ran track and then walked on at a JUCO with a dream that he could earn a college football scholarship (despite having like a 3.8 GPA). Pretty amazing journey.

Btw, LOVE early signing day. Cu Coaching staff did a nice job, a few gems in the class. More so they had these guys anchored down and ready to sign today and closed on them. I thought their strategy over past few weeks for in home visits were well paced. Breath of fresh air vs waiting another few months for desperate teams to throw their hat in the ring and muddle everything up by 2nd week of Feb.
Now we can land Allen and hone in on another few players by feb signing day.

He seems over the moon happy about Antwine. 6'3" 300 lb freshman who is a state champ power lifter - ready to compete for a job from day one. Loved the comment by Eliot that he saw a couple of Antwine's workouts when visiting him and was pretty blown away with the way this kid trains.
Dammit Nik, you're making me drink the kool-aid again.

That's not kool-aid. Antwine is a great recruit by any measure.
Yep. I'll take one of the Top 5 prospects from OK every year and not worry about it.

That is a MAJOR flip
Eliot has quietly done a nice job in this early cycle. Strong defensive recruitment is the big reason why we brought him here and he has delivered IMO.
Do Sami and Roddick re-sign letters today? Are they all set to join for the spring?
They signed last year, so it's only a matter of them signing their enrollment paperwork and showing up for classes in January.
Link below for the site people will want to be checking to see that players are enrolled for classes in January (today's JUCOs, Robinson - who is enrolling early, Sami, Roddick, Falo and the 2 question mark returnees with Umu and Julmisse).

ESPNU has been covering signing day since this morning. .
Don't expect us to be a running team next year based on what Adams said in this interview.
