Huge week for commitments.
Signees or commitments? We need them signed*. Feel like most of the commitments have signed though.
We’ve only had one “commitment” that didn’t get signed so far. I would view that as a one-off scenario vs a continual worry.

I've not read of our peers having this much success in the spring round?

What percentage is due to our staff crushing it vs. others being in a better position with the talent coming back?

I'd like to think more of the former!

Yes, filling 25 roster spots from the annexation of Boone (mass portal entry week) does matter. Hopefully, they are slots filled with talent, toughness and character.

OK. In addition to the multiple HS offers we extended today and that I've been working on all afternoon I now have updated and added the transfer and JUCO commits. Sorry for the delay but it's taken me over an hour just to get Rondarius Porter correctly updated. And Mbake was signed to WKU on 4/15 then asked for his release in the last two days. He's updated as well. Here they are for now.

My guess is in first round of portal our staff was still incomplete and DLo was hiring coaches and recruiting. Now for spring portal we have coaches near full strength and everyone is rolling so results show it.

An interesting journey to get here. Dismissed at Arkansas, a year at JUCO, signs with WKU two weeks ago, and is now here.
