Signing day surprises?
Alot has been made about the few number of recruits that the bucks are still on in as signing day approaches.
ANy chance that there are some hidden gems out there that we aren't aware of, that the coaching staff might be working on?
If I remember correctly in 2002 both Nate Salley, and Brandon Mitchell signed at the end, and weren't known to be on the radar screen in January.

I don't know brother but I'm with you here. I don't have a lot of faith this year until bad news gets to be old news for this team. Lets all keep our fingers crossed though. |

Not at this late in the game. I am too lazy to look it up, but I am sure Brandon Mitchell and Nate Salley were well committed by january and on the radar screen before that. So no, no new good surprises for us on signing day. If the last few years trend has shown us anything, be prepared to be disappointed. |

Curtis Terry is about the only guy I can remember that came in almost completely out of the blue at the end. This stuff is so magnified and overanalyzed now, that there's almost no way anything like that could happen, really.

i don't know if this belongs in a seperate thread or not, but it is relevent to the subject. does anyone know if coaches send LOIs to players that have committed to a different school? for example, let's say that rico mccoy was truly torn between tennesse and tosu, do the coaches still fax him a LOI, possibly hoping for a last minute change of heart? now i know they couldn't always use this tatic, if the coaches knew they had an already full class, but i could see it happening in this class, with our number of available scholarships remaining. i wouldn't see the harm in it, there's nothing to lose.

Given that we've only had a handful of kids in for official visits the last 6 WEEKS, and only have 4 on the radar with offers, I dont think we see any suprises. I quite frankly will be suprised if we add any more players to this class.

I just hope we don't have any unforeseen disappointments (Worthington, etc.)...

A pleaseant surprise: We don't lose anyone already committed and someone left on the board comes here.
