Boals just posted this on twitter: https://twitter.com/JeffBoals/status/1117453668176027649

Sounds like we got two of them to commit? Definitely a good sign.

Coach Thornton’s tweet confirms 2 “fine young men join the bobcat family”

https://twitter.com/lamarthornton__/status/11174530804030...


He also tweeted this Marvin Price about a “commitment coming tonight” out an hour later... but given the big 10 and big 12 offers, I’d be (pleasantly) surprised it was to come to Athens.

I'm guessing that Charlie Daniels wasn't one of the recruits on campus this weekend, as he reportedly committed to Stephen F Austin on Friday:

Is it possible that Marvin Price was the fourth recruit on campus?

Im confused about who the 5 recruits are from last weekend that Coach Thornton keeps tweeting about and if McDay is among them. He says 4 of the 5 committed. We only know 2 so far so we still have some more good news to follow. Hope we get all 5 whoever they are.

Safford responded to Roderick’s tweet l. Makes me think he’s announcing his plan to join soon

My guess is the 4 mentioned are McDay, Roderick, Price & Safford. That is a great group of 4, adds to Springs & McMurray giving us 6 in the same class. I'd think we will look to add transfers with at least some of the remaining scholarships in the name of class balance. Although the thought of 9 or so players all in the same class sounds oddly intriguing.

Arkley recently started following twins Miles & Michael Brown on Twitter (right between following Price & Safford). I wonder if they may have visited too? They are 6'-2" guards from Northstar Christian Academy in NY in Class C (think that's small school). Miles scores a TON of points and I think is the D1 Prospect. He had an offer Stony Brook.

I like how one is announcing per day. Gives each player a chance to have their own day. Coach Thornton said 4 committed, so unless one is McDay, we have today and tomorrow to be excited. Plus, it shows that these guys have a true sense of team by waiting and giving their soon to be teammates the spotlight.

Good stuff.

Was thinking the same thing about one announcement per day. Smart strategy by all involved. Is it November yet?

Not gonna lie, that was the first thing I thought of. But I have to believe these guys are better than the LaFerla twins. For starters, they aren't 5'8. I think the Olsen twins dunked on the LaFerla twins.

Thornton mentioned 4/5 were signing. Assuming the 2nd twin isn't counted as he's a PFWO:

Roderick
Price
McDay
Brown

What becomes confusing is that McDay was a prior signing.. does this mean we have one more guy in the works? If so, hoping it's Safford or Meeks.

Both guys have been linked to OU via Twitter. I know some don't put much stock into social media... but it's 2019, you should. I wonder when those 2 will announce. As far as I can see, Safford is only interested in OU and Wofford. Meeks has only really posted about OU. If I had to pick, I'd take Meeks as we need a center, although both would be nice.

Great job coach, this recruiting class has me ready for the season to start!

Regardless of when it happens, we still have 3 open scholarships so we still have a ways to go to fill out the roster. This is one of the most talked about offseasons in a long time.

In the Caravan talk Boals mentioned 4 more recruits coming this week, all big. He said something like "They are guys I have to look up at."
