The class now has 23 people in it. I think the last 3 that I know of that are waiting to announce are:
Mique Juarez
Keaton Bills
Jaylen Morgan

I think the new staff did great to not lose any guys due to the coaching change and landed a few that flipped from their previous commits. Rivals has the class ranked 49 so far.

Scout has us at #53 but Rivals currently has us at #92! They are only showing 9 signed! Most everyone else is showing at least 17 signed although Virginia Tech is also showing a low 8 signed for a #90 class. Something's wrong with their site! Anyone else seeing this?

I looked earlier and they had us at #48 with a bunch of signings--but then the site went down for a bit--I wonder if they crashed and had to restore so things aren't up to date or something. It now says 9 signed--but our class has 23. Maybe they are restoring the info...
