Guys
No specifics yet, but I am told a few commitments will be in May/June just as they were last year. We are on pace with where we were from a calendar standpoint...although others around us jumped out much earlier this year. Lets just hope their early evaluations are just too early...heck these kids have not even played their senior year....and there was little time to evaluate junior year film! There are some highly rated kids that we do not agree with...just as there will be some we rate high that others do not agree with.
We are having more academic struggles again. Many of the players that had interest in us did not have the grades...including a few local superstars. I have also been told by a good source that we used up some favors with the Hill with last years class and can only take ONE borderline recruit. Hence...we have had to look further away again. This is not by choice, but by looking at what is out there this year.
We would love to get the full 25...maybe even a couple more...depending on the talent level. We only have 75 on scholarship right now...and we graduate 17 scholarship seniors.
Things do look good with Steven Sylvester despite pressure coming from AL, FSU, SC, NC, etc. They also look good for Keith Wells even though SC, NC, and LOU have swooped in. A few schools have backed off them as they think GT is a lock...we will see. We also look very good with Nick McRae who also has an NCState offer (I left him out by accident in my original post).
