And here come the LOIs!

[lou v]

The first announcement wasn't even a signee: an official welcome to early enrollees....



The Wildcat with the fastest Send button: OL Sam Gerak, who will play center or guard...

 

[lou v]

No. 2 is another son of Ohio, kicker Charlie Kuhbander...

 

[lou v]

LB Chee Anyanwu was the last commit of the class and comes from the same high school as smooth-hipped WR Steven Reese...

 

[lou v]

The next Wildcat is Ethan Wiederkehr, a Long Island tackle whose father played in the NFL...

 

[lou v]

QB Andrew Marty put up some big numbers in Ohio last season...

 

[lou v]

WR Kyric McGowan is one of those Venric Mark-type speedsters the Cats could line up anywhere -- and he's bigger, too...

 

[lou v]

Well, it's been 22 minutes and six of the 17 new Wildcats (not counting the two early enrollees) are already in.

Curious, do kids actually still fax these in or has the technology changed?

The send them in now electronically.

JR Pace's nickname is a familiar one: The Franchise...

 

[lou v]

LB Blake Gallagher was the first commit last December, so he's waited almost 14 months to sign...

 

[lou v]

Only one Wildcat left in the Eastern time zone: LB Peter McIntyre. Maybe he slept in a little bit...

 

[lou v]

Here are NU's signing day videos for each of the Cats who have signed so far...

[lou v]

And there's the last new Wildcat from the Eastern time zone, LB Peter McIntyre...

 

[lou v]

 

[lou v]

That's it for the Eastern time zone. Next up is the Central, which kicks off in three minutes.

 

[lou v]

First up in the Central time zone is the 2016 Illinois state long jump champion...

 

[lou v]

 

[lou v]

The first Texan is in the fold, safety Bryce Jackson...

 

[lou v]

Big OL Rashawn Slater is the next Wildcat to make it official...

 

[lou v]

Not even a pitch from Harbaugh could sway DE Trevor Kent from becoming a Wildcat...

 

[lou v]

Catching up on the videos...

Lou, is Bryce Jackson slated for Safety or CB? I thought they would be trying him at CB.

He's a guy that could play either, but they offered him as a safety and that's probably where he'll start.

 

[lou v]

And here he is, the man that registered a sack in the prestigious US Army All-American Bowl, DE Earnest Brown...

 

[lou v]

 

[lou v]

Only two kids from the Central time zone left: Austin Hiller and Jace James.

 

[lou v]

The third and last safety of the class, Austin Hiller from Texas state champion Austin Lake Travis...

The send them in now electronically.

After the great technology apocalypse of 2035 (The Internet will become self aware after advances in AI propagate, causing millions of wired dishwashers and refrigerators to attack their owners. SkyNet is defeated only when we unplug everything), they will arrive by carrier pigeon.

Jace James comes from the same high school as a fella you might have heard of: Justin Jackson.

So that's it for a while. The Eastern and Central time zones are present and accounted for. The lone remaining commit is Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco WR Berkeley Holman, who is the lone class member in the Pacific time zone. He can't send his in until 9 a.m. Central.

Is this the first year in some time that there were no late decommits?

(Wolma happened just after he committed IIRC)

Who decommitted last year?

Who decommitted last year?

I don't remember. That's why I asked. Maybe no one.

 

[corbi296]

I can't think of anyone from last year.

I like that they include the actual signature on these. I don't know why, but I find it interesting to see and compare the different signatures!

Here's one we didn't expect: a grad transfer specialist from Western Illinois...
