2012 National Signing Day thread

[SlappyCajun]

Morgan and Celistan are greyshirts I think...do they still sign an LOI?

Don't know. The NLI binds the institution to give them financial aid for the upcoming academic year. I lot of greyshirts sign. However, it seems to me from a University liability standpoint that if you and the kid have agreed to greyshirt you don't have him sign.

However, when they sign the NLI it precludes other schools from recruiting them. So incentives both ways.

[bigearl]

what about Javonte Watson- thought he was a mid year signee?

[cajunhawk]

Would Jevante Watson have to sign an LOI? He was a greyshirt last year.

[bigearl]

also - a lot of freshman played last year - who do we expect to pay big dividends this coming year from this class?

[seehard]

Jevante has been with the team. I doubt he has to sign a LOI.

[anhil8tor]

so I'm guessing no surprises?

[seehard]

As far as freshman contributors, I'm not sure. But we've got some solid JUCO guys that will be huge if they stay out of trouble. i.e. Tig and Fields

[CAJUN_LXA685]

Dang N. Dakota!?! Cold this morning?

[cajunhawk]

Christen Hill is in. 3 left I think.
