Signing day special on BTN tomorrow, but not until late (4:30?). When do the announcements start coming down?

Signing day special on BTN tomorrow, but not until late (4:30?). When do the announcements start coming down?

 

Seems like most do it around 11-1. I covered a couple of kids signing for football the last couple years (one to UT Martin and one to Tennessee) and one was a 8:30 and one close to noon.

 

I seem to remember most doing it close to lunchtime, though.

Some of our commits have signing ceremonies starting as early as 8am EST. The big ones occur around 10-1 or 2-5, depending upon the high school.

That's kinda what I was thinking.

And Greg Reid commits to FSU. I can hardly wait to see what happens over the next 24 hours.

 

It should be a fun day for fellow Nole fans.

 

HO-LEE CRAP.

 

From what I've heard today, it's highly likely that FSU ends up taking Gary Brown (a 5* DL) from UF, and there's a better than average chance we pull Andre Debose from UF as well. And, despite his stance that it wouldn't be tomorrow, Orson Charles is rumored to be headed to FSU as well.

 

I've also heard a rumor of another player who will be a shocker (of the good kind) flipping over to FSU, but I can't get a name from my people.

 

I've also heard that Tennessee is going to have a MAMMOTH day tomorrow, and that LSU is going to lose out on the Randle sweepstakes (and the two aren't related). It also sounds like UF is going to have a day where someone pees in their cornflakes - and I couldn't be happier!

Will this make IMB or RedFlash happy?

 

IMB.

 

Which makes me even happier.

I hope you're right. I'll believe it when he signs though.

stuy, i read that quote from you and i knew that you couldn't be talking about alabama, but i didn't want to even get my hopes up in the slightest.

 

if it happens i'll probably fly out to florida and kiss you

You're more than welcome to fly to Florida since I'm in Chicago.

 

But don't come near me, and don't even think of kissing me.

[stuy119]

Yikes. I slept through some ugly text messages last night.

 

Charles eliminates FSU, Debose to UF, and Brown's mom might not let the FSU LOI even see the table at the signing.

 

Ugh.

For the Domers out there:

 

I'm hearing that it's going to be a last-minute decision for Jawanza Starling between ND and USC. He likes ND better, but feels more comfortable at USC (if that makes sense).

From the sound of it stuy, OL Aubrey Phillips will sign with FSU. He's been committed with UT since June.

 

Tennessee's also already picked up signings from JaQuori Schofield, Arthur Jeffrey and Nyshier Oliver. Two linemen (one OL and one DL) in that trio is nice.

 

I've heard reports that we've lost David Oku (Auburn) and Marlon Brown (Ohio State or UGA), though.

Already done. FSU received the LOI around 30 min. ago.

Last minute? Last minute for him was over 2 hours ago. Kids that can't make up their minds at this point concern me.

The process at Lincoln is one of complete secrecy. I went to school there, and you couldn't get a peep out of any of the players or coaches if you had their mothers at gunpoint.

 

And I wouldn't worry about Jawanza. He's a pretty smart kid from all accounts.

I've been hearing all morning that despite being committed to UT, he was going to sign with Auburn. Then he faxed his LOI to FSU. :-))

[Derwood]

I think we can all agree that the most important signing of the day has been Mike Golic's son inking with Notre Dame

I heard from someone that he's been a silent for the past week to FSU, but there was some last-minute consideration of AU.

[stuy119]

I'm shocked that Alshon Jeffrey switched from Southern Cal to South Carolina.

 

I've heard some things about USCw's class falling apart (relatively) at the last minute, but that shocker wasn't even part of the equation.

Shocked the world.

I'm not sure what your point is. He could have faxed his LOI almost 2 and half hours ago. Does he have a press conference scheduled for today or something?

He seems extremely indecisive.

Yes. All the Lincoln kids have a signing ceremony at noon. The coaches want max exposure for everyone, and don't want any one player to outshine the rest up to the point of signing.

I hadn't seen that anywhere. I kept hearing he was just undecided.

IMB, Rivals.com just mentioned that Randle might not sign today.

 

What a strange day to not have #1 or #2 sign on NSD.

[Derwood]

it's hard for me to get too excited today since there really isn't any big time prospect with PSU on their short list. Feels like they're kinda getting who we know they're getting.

8:28 a.m. Five-star DT picks Florida

 

Five-star defensive tackle Gary Brown signed with Florida despite rumors he would consider Florida State.

 

Brown was one of the first prospects to commit to the Gators in this class. The Quincy (Fla.) West Gadsden is the No. 23 prospect in the class and the fifth-ranked recruit in the Sunshine State.
