This has got to be the longest wait ever for finding out a verbals name.

Some early recruits in the early Solich years they kept secret for the entire season, and we never did learn who they were until signing day. Names like Curt Meyers, Jeff King, and Vince Carlotta come to mind. We really don't "need to know", but its nice. I think it also helps later recruiting that others can look and say "Wow, that's a great group. With those guys, we can win some games."
