NA, when posting can you let us know something if this was expected (already verbal) or unexpected
This is the guy who transferred from Dematha and then back to Dematha last season. Limited profile info. Looks like he might have gone a bit under the radar.
at DeMatha Catholic: Helped DeMatha to a 10-2 record and an unbeaten 4-0 mark in the Washington Catholic - Capital Region โฆ All-WCAC linebacker โฆ DeMatha was ranked as the no. 3 team in Maryland โฆ reached the WCAC-Capital Championship game, played at the Naval Academy โฆ attended Centreville H.S. in Clifton, Va. as a junior before transferring back to DeMatha to complete his high school career.
Yes. But I think we can keep this really simple - How about if I only comment on surprise signings? If all I post is the typical commitment tweet with a profile, etc, it means it was expected. Does that work?
Also, if you want to refresh these threads, I will be updating each playerโs info as it becomes available. May be a little more bio or ranking info each time.

Brian bates jr is a new commit
Okay I just lookedโฆ he verballed 4 days ago, though we knew about it:
I forgot to add him to the list I posted up top.
He is so new they donโt have a picture of him in a Niner uniform.

With this poster it appears that is it for signing day? I know we expected sever others.
Well I am unclear if we are going to announce signings of transfers who have already enrolled.
Per this verbiageโฆ Continue to check out this page for updates throughout Day One of the February signing period. Donโt think so
Okay, something appears to be up with our commitments โsigningโ.
The NCAA waived the max limit for signees in one class so that should not be an issue.
That leaves a total scholarship cap. I donโt have a current active roster to compare to, but I am starting to wonder if that means we have more commits than our available # of scholarships.
Which meansโฆ
Are we funding some of these transfers with NIL money and not grant in aids? Basically, HBO money?
I asked an open ended question about this on Twitter a couple hours ago and then deleted it. Iโm not sure I want to call attention to the issue.
Unless I am just completely wrong and we are about to announce 20 or so recruits late this afternoon.
Or maybe something else is delaying announcements of additional grant in aid packages.
Itโs a unique situation, regardless. Have never seen a class this large in the history of College Football.
