It's Signing Day!!!

[quote=“2012ALUMNI49er, post:79, topic:28515”]It’s legit. Per his twitter:

T.L. Ford ‏@TL_Cville5 22h

Switched my commitment to UNC Charlotte today, and it’s what makes me happy. Looking forward to making my dreams come true! #49ERS

BOOM.

I wouldn’t be surpised to see one of our ATH commits even move to OLB.
Louisville’s sack leader this season was a 6’3" 210 “Athlete” that was recruited as a QB and moved to DE.
We seem to be stockpiling speed.

great get… love it

Press Release from yesterday on the signings of the 3 JUCOs, Manley, and Barden.

http://www.charlotte49ers.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=23200&ATCLID=209372252

All 5 are enrolled in Spring classes.

By my count now, we have 26 guys coming in (20 HS, 3 JUCO, 3 Transfer). 19 HS if Butcher has decommitted.

Any word on who isn’t returning next season other than our graduating players? From reading other team boards, it seems pretty common for most teams to lose 5 to 10 guys in the off season for different reasons.

For those that haven’t read the release it does clear up that Manley will sit out next season due to being a FBS transfer. I know there was some confusion at one point.

This was news to me, from article:

“In other roster news, Lambert announced that LB Micah Bryan, who was dismissed from the team to attend to family issues during the season, did not return to school.”

That was news to me as well.

Is he the baseball player? I hate to hear about his family.

[quote=“2012ALUMNI49er, post:78, topic:28515”]Wow. Rivals has TL Ford, the WR from Catersville HS that was committed to K-State, as a new commit. Another one of Barden’s targets joining him? Is it legit? If it is thats another huge get!

Also noticed that they have Tristan Butcher as uncommitted now…[/quote]

I think TL is the first commit we have gotten that turned down an offer from a team that won a BCS game(UCF) the year before…HUGEEEEE GETTTTTTT!!!

I talked to Manley last night and he said there was a way for him to play immediately, some sort of paper work is what he was telling me. I guess we will see what happens. He also introduced me to a few of the JUCO transfers, they were all very nice and pleasant to talk to.

Where would he go? He has zero offers from decent football teams. Only other thing I could see is that he applies to go to school at Navy, gets in, then walks on. If he wants to serve our country I have tons of respect his decision. Less so if he decommits to go to Missouri St.

Anyone know who the commitment was that Coach Poe tweeted about today?

Ha, I wondered that myself. And that perhaps the fish was just really #committed to his hook? :stuck_out_tongue:

Tyler Fain commits… big catch indeed.
