Just to let everybody know I'm going to be putting updates on LOI's and other news in this thread tomorrow as long as my internet doesn't go bye-bye. Been having some issues since the wind blew down a pole a last week. I'm sure 78' will be also. I'm going to be working those other players who are not on the commit list and keeping an eye the news sites to see if any surprises come up. Please join in if you see or hear something that hasn't been posted yet. Can't wait to see how many we get today :!: :!: :!:

We got us another RB. I knew there was a reason I was looking at his twitter account these past few days. It was called hopefull thinking. Now if Norwood doesn't flip then tomorrow will be an even better day. :D

Might as well get the ball rolling. We already know he signed and he's in school but since this is about signing day DB Anthony Covington (5-11, 185) of Mallard Creek High School in Charlotte signed his LOI (nearly two months ago but it still counts). ;)

Twitter is overloaded. I guess I'm not the only one with 20 tabs open :D

Can't believe all the fake messages coming in with #AppState tags. Oh no...we have no national appeal to an FBS conference. :roll:

Decided to split them up since editing doesn't show a new post. And these are just the scholarship players since their letter is what counts. As soon as they are in I will start digging to get the walk-ons listed.

Still waiting on two important commits. Vinson and Norwood. Brown and Pinckney both should be in around 9. Vinson has App pics all over his twitter including his signing day gear. Norwood...best I can say is he's not listed on the UTC site as signing.

I was typing when it came in so here it is.

LB George Vinson (6-0, 205) of Damascus High School in Damascus, Md. LOI received. Glad to see this one. Thought he was gone for a while. Now we just need to see Norwood.

Looks like only two we're still waiting on are : Pickney and Norwood. Man this is nice and neat. It was good to get the big surprise last night. T. Upshaw looks very good on tape. Lots of long runs, stops and goes in traffic and then runs away from everybody. Physical too. Again have to give Very Big Props to Mr. firemoose and AppGrad78 gentlemen please take a well deserved bow! For taking us through the most informed recruiting season EVER You two were AWESOME!!!!!!
