UBinMD Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Here are the early signees per Twitter at of 9am EST: 1. Nolan Gorczyca - OL/6'6"/275 - NEBRASKA 2. Carson Williams - TE/6'5"/230 - IOWA 3. Rowan McGwin - OL/6'6"/280 - NEW YORK 4. DeMarco Cuffey - CB/6'0"/180 - FLORIDA 5. Mike Washington - RB/6'2"/205 - NEW YORK 6. Floyd Dozier - DT/6'2"/285 - FLORIDA 7. Jaillen Howze - LB/6'1"/220 - MICHIGAN 8. Quillen Howze - CB/6'0"/180 - MICHIGAN 9. Al-Jay Henderson - RB-LB/6'0"/195 - NEW JERSEY 10. Anton Ricumstrict - DE/6'5"/225 - MICHIGAN 11. Janik Ogunlade - OL/6'5"/275 - MARYLAND 12. Ali Fisher - WR/6'1"/190 - MICHIGAN 13. Brian Plummer - QB/6'4"/205 - MARYLAND 14. Matthew Pajuste - OL/6'4"/280 - PENNSYLVANIA 15. Rowan McGwin - OL/6'6"/280 - NEW YORK 16. Christopher King - DE/6'3"/235 - NEW JERSEY 17. Jibrahn Claude - S/6'0"/185 - GEORGIA We lost Artez Hooker - WR to FIU. Maybe he wanted to stay closer to home or was concerned coming to a run-first offense. We are very heavy on OL, which is great to keep that train moving, very large individuals too, hopefully they have the skills to go with it. A few nice offensive pieces and some backed D help, which would be welcome. A few new pass rushers too. Overall, a solid group so far. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And another set of twins on the Howze brothers, let's hope for more great things from these two! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveub1 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 No signing day press conference or anything? I remember back in Turner Gill & Jeff Quinn’s days.. they used to have a press conference with highlights of the recruits etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also in the Gill - Quinn era the only signing day was in February. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UB05 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I’m surprised people aren’t talking about this signing class more. It’s without question the best in our history, and by a lot. Here’s to hoping Leipold sticks around because if he does we’ll be outrecruiting the entire MAC soon. The couple WRs going elsewhere isn’t all that surprising considering we throw 7 times per game lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verandaman Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I like this class a lot. I am a big fan of OL recruits (no pun intended). The game is hinged on the quality of the guys in the trenches. If we can get these tall kids to add about 20-30 good pounds each, we will be in fantastic shape moving forward. The balance of this class is also very impressive. Nicely done UB! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In years past, if we got 1 or 2 3-stars that was huge. Now are getting everyone as 3's with a a single 2-star in there. Terrific balance and great coverage in high school football power states. Well done LL and Co.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeyG Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 2 star is 3 star on Rivals. All relative. Our WR signee looks good. Too bad we lost the TE and 2WR commits. Still have time to add to class in February Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
