Coach did a great job keeping this class together. Looking forward to plugging in some transfers

Just curious, were most of these already committed from Taggart or are some a result of Herman?

I believe all but one or two are from the original class of commits.
Wallace Unamba was an add on from Herman’s group.
Rick may be able to give more on this.

Just comparing the AAC teams for 2023, we currently rank 6th on 24/7 and 7th on Rivals!

We would be 4th if UCF, UH and UC were not listed under the AAC anymore. We are 2nd in CUSA. Not sure why FAU is still listed under C-USA.

Four were after Taggart left…so 25% of the ESD class is technically Herman's.

• Church
• McClendon
• Unamba
• Richardson

IMHO, arguably the top guy (Church), one who is Top 5 (McClendon), and then two guys who are slight projects but have solid upside.

Unamba will need conditioning and Richardson just needs some next level coaching. He has bulked up A LOT since HS. That's the extra benefit from both McClendon and Richardson - they each went to Military academy.

And McClendon has FBS experience already at MTSU under Stockstill where he was definitely a loss for them.

I think because the move doesn’t become official until July. We still have spring/summer sports that will compete in the Toy Car Conference before we make the move up

Never gets old…

The way I look at it: they all signed with Tom Herman. So it’s his class and his signees. He could have dropped them and they could have went elsewhere.

FAU has added a Prokick Punter to the 2023 Class:

Nicholas Salmon Commits

Lighter than normal day tomorrow for national Signing Day, and put some notes in the donor's forum.

We'll have the normal content here in this thread.

Richard will be also on site for the luncheon with a write up afterwards - inside of which we'll hear from former TON Staffer now 247 goat Andrew Ivins with some of his thoughts on the class.

Go Owls 🦉

Just how big is this signing?

From a step forward in program merit perspective, H-U-G-E.
