Am I mistaken, or did this board used to have a lot more excitement about signing day? Am I overlooking a particular thread where signees are being discussed?
Anyway, why does 247Sports have Troy still at only nine commits and ranked 102 in recruiting? All the other schools seemed to be updated.

We don't have a dedicated 247 recruiting person anymore, If I'm not mistaken. We used to... I believe it was Trojan Warrior.
I'm not sure how we go about getting another person to be over the site and keep it updated.

Click on this link and TURN IT UP !!
19 AWESOME GUYS have signed, the ink has dried, and WE have been notified on Twitter AND TroyTrojans.com
An ADDITIONAL FOUR have signed, BUT want to make it public at a later date! I understand, especially seniors in high school, those who want to share this special moment with their family and peers!!! December does not provide that opportunity for some.

Well, poop! 💩 Thanks cardinalblacktrojan! Is there a YouTube channel devoted to Troy? You know, where dedicated alumni, former players or fans host a discussion about Troy football?

How locked in are these guys at this point? Is it a totally done deal or can they be wishy-washy and jump somewhere else if a more attractive situation comes along?

I think XHCNB does a good job of answering this post from the 3:50 to 5:00 minute mark of this interview from today, Cliff Notes version for ALL schools: High Schoolers locked in, transfers still figuring it out.

I never paid much attention to height/weight of the recruits until this year because I saw how disadvantaged we seemed to be on our OL in several games. For that reason I could be way off base but it seems we signed some beasts! Over 6' dudes with bulk coming in for the lines.

Josh had mentioned 4 more signees in another thread. I am assuming that is accurate but how long will be waiting to hear about them? Just odd that they are going to do their own announcement at another time. Does Josh or anyone else have more information? Like these are actual NIL signees?

I've gotten lost between all the different portal/tez/nil/signing day threads of who's who and who's considering and who's signing so I'm trying to keep my comments all in this one but I"m watching the Troy Trojan football FB page for all "official" stuff they put out.

Can’t trust 247Sports for recruiting rankings IMO. They’re now showing Troy with 19 signees and Troy is still ranked 102, the same position Troy held with only nine commits. Either Troy did poorly in recruiting (many teams ranked above Troy that Troy beat), or no one at 247Sports really took time to evaluate this class’ signees.

I don’t have faith in recruiting rankings. Uncle fester was very successful in theory. HCJS is very successful in application.

These are signed, they signed their NIL yesterday. Each one plans to have their own signing ceremony/announcement at a later date and the coaches agreed to hold their names back until then. He said "a couple" would be in February (the usual signing day) and the others "in the coming weeks." He implied one was a four-year transfer.

I guess you have more of an audience if you do it that way. Hard to believe a "leaker" would not occur before the Feb date. All in all, it is sort of like spreading out your Christmas presents over several weeks. As pointed out in the Neal Brown clip if these are NIL guys we are good to go. If the four-year transfer (fourth year?) we could lose him just due to better offer as pointed out not having signed an NIL deal. Still great information and appreciate not watching every hour to see who the new guys are going to be. This way I can practice my patience and know I still have a present or two to open!

Our group talked about this a few days ago, he did leave the program talented enough for Sumrall to come in and win immediately.

No fan of CL but he/staff recruited very well - I have to give him that - but developing talent - very BAD at it

In layman's terms how did we do? Personally I think we did very well. From what I’ve seen to what I’ve been told on Twitter, we got some DAWGS. Excited to see what we have. I think we reloaded the D and we should be running it back on that side of the ball, and on O, it’s hard to replace Tez and Rajae, but we kept DeShon, and we added some really good talent with guys like Chris Lewis who Sumrall originally recruited. I was genuinely worried about O-line based on replacing Stidham and Andrews but it seems to me that we faired very well on the line also. Personally, I feel like Coach has a knack for finding the hidden gems, and it seems like he has some great ideas cooking. He’s also REALLY attacked rival territory which is always nice to see.

How annual reminder that DWare and Osi were 0-star recruits. That's ZERO as in nobody other than TMTDM gave them a chance.

Kavosiey Smoke (Kentucky RB) has visited Troy. Would be a good get for us if we can get him.
