Official Ragin Cajun Football Early Signing Day Thread for 2018

I hope so. Highlights look good but highlights always do. Stats tell a different story. With that said he is one of the best JC QBs still on the board.

Definitely has potential but at this point he is not a program changer.

Clutch, keep in mind he has 3 years of eligibility to play. So he's only seen one year of development as a starter. He's still have much to learn and we have the coach to teach him the game. Kirby Smith thinks enough of him to try and get him back on campus after Fields announced he was leaving Georgia. That tells me he has the intangibles to get the job done and more tools to work with than anyone in our program today. We will see how he responds this spring to the competition.

So Brown, Scott and Sam are the three academics. They are expected to enroll in the summer and will be grey-shirts.

A question from a dumb poster T, do they sign now, later? If they sign later, I'd imagine they won't be counted as part of this class, right?

[BeauCajun]

He tweeted he would be last night.

So T, let me see if I have this correct. 20 signees today with Spencer then 5 blue shirts from earlier. That'll give us the 25.

Right, Blueshirts allow FBS programs to accumulate depth while not affecting their annual numbers. Like grayshirt recruits, blueshirts are counted toward the next season’s scholarship total. There is one distinct difference, however. Unlike grayshirts, a blueshirt is able to enroll and participate in team events in the fall. This allows programs to get the best of both worlds: FBS schools can delay a scholarship for the following year, allowing them to over-sign beyond the 25-scholarship limit, and get the use of a prospect immediately rather than waiting until the following spring.

Correct.

I should have said Blueshirts.

They are not signing with this class, will enroll in the summer and count towards next years class.
