We have had them in the past get 2-3 stars then. Just curious as how someone who gets a three star rating and has no offers slips through till now in the recruiting cycle. Particularly if you are in a fairly good size town like Panama City

The guy's stats are outstanding, and obviously our coaches like him. If his awareness is as good as advertised, he would be a great fit in our system. That said, I can't find anything that legitimizes scouttrout.com. They gave another linebacker, Jimmy Bates, a 4-Star rating, and the kid has no recruiting profiles on 247, ESPN, or Rivals. If the stars match up on Terry's, he would be a 5-Star. None of the other All-Americans on the site have recruiting profiles either. I would stay away from this site. That said, I trust our coaching staff and hopefully he becomes a major contributor for us.

Again, I wouldn't put too much credibility in recruiting profiles. I've seen how the process works (it's not a science).
I'll get Byers added to 247Sports.

Quick question. Are the guys listed as signed on 247 actually signed? Saw on twitter where one of those listed as signed will sign on Wednesday. Hope everybody that supposedly signed actually did so, and we have no one back out and decide not to...

So is he the one the coaches are talking about or is there someone else that just hasn't publicly announced it yet?

With all this inside info, you should maybe get more involved in managing Troy’s 247 page. I would be a subscriber and willing to pay for it (and I am probably not the only one)...besides nowadays with recruits using Twitter actively, willingly sharing info, etc...it’s so much easier to identify and contact them and then produce exclusive content.

Thought I noticed another player on Twitter last week announcing "signing" with Troy ... but can't find it now. Coach Bam was tagged. He was a tall/long DE type. Maybe a PWO?

Per the numbers, we finished 2nd behind Louisiana in the recruiting rankings. Our overall quality of players was the best in the belt (82.14), but the cajuns signed 28, where we only signed 22. Those six extra players allowed them to edge us by 1 point. Regardless, this is the best class in Troy history (likely Louisiana's as well). 247sports.com/Season/2019-Football/CompositeTeamRankings/?Conference=SBC
