In looking at the numbers, it appears there may be a few guys who 247 lists as commits who will not be a part of the class. There are 11 spots left of the 25, and we still have 14 guys listed there that are yet to sign. Unless we are grayshirting a few, there will be some defections today. Just a little bit of a heads up so nobody is too surprised later.

The good news? 7 of our top 8 commits have already signed on the dotted line, including all of the top 6.

With Little's signature, we have now signed all of our top 11 commits. Loeffler and staff have done a tremendous job of keeping this class together.

Guys who it appears are still in (according to their social media activity) who haven’t signed yet:

Jeremiah Banks-Wall
Jalen Grant
Fortune Woods
Torrance Farmer
Alex Wollschlaeger
Bryce Boyer

So one of JB Brown, Jay Burns, Adrian Wilson, and JaJuan Boyd is probably in, and the rest are likely out, almost certainly due to a numbers crunch. Too bad we can't take more than 25 - would really help to accelerate our rebuild.

The group they've assembled thus far looks mighty impressive. Kudos to the staff for their hard work. Hard to not be excited about the future of Falcon football.

As someone mentioned before, BG backed off on some of the guys and offered new ones. Always happens. Recruiting is so crazy!

[jpfalcon09]

I was told that MSU backed off Gazarek in the last few weeks which sealed the deal for him to come to BG.

Hawkins committed back in July, 247 never listed him.
