Well, I just listened to his presser again, and he only mentioned 22 names. Hopefully, AJ Grant was the one he didn't mention to get to the 23 he said were signee at the beginning of his presentation. And the guy I missed was in fact, Quarterman...thanks....
From the Orlando Sentinel list, he didn't mention Chad Edwards (DL); didn't mention Milhomme Jean-Charles (was on commitment list) (DE/OL); didn't mention Cory Lattimore (LB) (on commitment list also); didn't mention AJ Grant...and didn't mention returning starter at Center, Brad Serini either....
Of course, he didn't mention Booker T.'s Franklin Brown, nor the two other BTW commitments that will be on academic scholarship. Neither did he mention the two Cypress Bay kids we had a link from Browards's Miami Herald.....
I guess, we will reconcile these "loopholes" soon enough...

Did we miss on someone that FIU was really after? It seams to me that we got TY and JJ which were ones that were on the fence. Anyone else on the fence we did not get?

We should have picked up Jamarcus Allen, who went to Western Kentucky after originally being committed to South Florida. All in all this is the best class we've ever had

have to agree with that statement hardwood very good class reading throughout the day picking up several state championship players from diferent levels and states along w/ solid kids this is great news. very glad to hear it. on a side note i just finished reading some of the comments some UM fans were leaving are down right insulting. seriously they upset me some times cause most of them dont even go to Um or have attended UM so who are they to try to talk to acutally students or alum. just gettin out some frustration

A tremendous class--congratulations to the coaching staff. We made a running at cornerback Jerome Swinton, but he chose West Virginia over FIU today.

All in all this is the best class we've ever had I was thinking along the same lines.....or maybe Demarrio Sims...But, the only two names that were committed, yet did not..or have not...signed are Milhomme Jean Charles, and Cory Lattimore...

We are in a dog fight with North Texas and the upper echelon of the Sun Belt as far as number of recruits is concerned. We are definitely heading in the right direction. Is it September yet? GO PANTHERS!!!
