It's Signing Day!!!

NWA, are you & Hot Rod going to the dinner tonight?

Hope no one gives me the cold shoulder for my nepotism joke.

Encouraging to hear that, the recruiting guru started to get excited talking about Charlotte :).

I’m sure THAT’S why they’d give you the cold shoulder Kenny.

So according to 247 App is #1 in Sun Belt recruiting

Not sure what that says for either the Belt or App?

But we’re dead last in C-USA recruiting

And conference mate ODU is #5 recruiting Go5 member behind Boise St!

I have said worse things about them and they are all still nice to me. I have actually been told that they say they are glad that people like me say things because it helps them see where they need to improve. Of course I still attend events and give them money - which means I am still a customer and listening to your customers is a wise thing to do. I also give credit where it is due. The point being there is nothing wrong with demanding excellence if you still support the school. I won’t apologize for calling them out on things when I think we are not doing what we can or should. Some of the shit we do or don’t do is just plain stupid.

As for tonight. I am not going. HotRod was going but said earlier today he wasn’t sure if he would make it.

Looks like there based a lot on “volume” to me. Also, shows us with only 1 - 3-star and App with 5. Other sites show us with 3 and App with 1.

As of yesterday, that exact same list had us with 4 three star recruits, not 1, and ranked 11th overall, with all classes signed. And they still show us with those same guys, all still ranked 3 stars. Someone likely purposefully tweaked the #s in the summary.

Edit - yep - the link is still active - though they had apparently bumped us down to 12th: http://247sports.com/Season/2014-Football/CompositeTeamRankings?Conference=C-USA

That is the link from our team profile page. Still shows us with 4 thre stars. These sites are a mess and even this one seems biased.

he is also d-1’s first deaf punter (I think I read that right).

I hate to use the term “disappointed” …but I thought we would do more to address our needs along the DL…we signed one DT…whiffed on Zeek Rodney…and were not able to sign anyone else…I am still completely befuddled by Jemal Averette…a 3-Star prospect with offers from Charlotte, Iowa, and Toledo with interest from many others…He signed with Indiana University-Pennsylvania…a DII school—go figure—I don’t know if grades were an issue or what with him…

I know the staff has a plan…but just sayin’

Really? That’s pretty cool, you would think the paper write something on that… or have they?

Only if he’d have signed with crapple hole.

Double-E and 49er1, shame on both of you.

Why would they do a write-up like that when they can tell the city we cannot afford lights (even though we really can)?

It sounded like Lambert was about to tell his story at the press conference but was interrupted by a reporter.

I caught that but took it more as he stopped himself bc it wasn’t relevant. Without knowing anything about the situation I know some would rather be credited for the gifts they have and not make it about challenges. Just my thoughts tho.

clt cannot wait to hear more about this punter.

He also played QB and DE for his HS team. Lambert said he was good athlete at the presser.
