P Jay Bramblett Alabama 6'2" 175 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/30/18

Haven't we established by now that he should be an ATH?

 

[DONTH8]

Haven't we established by now that he should be an ATH?

And a 5 star

Quinn Carroll is signing tomorrow. I'm sure most of the guys without listed times are including Olmstead who has a signing ceremony on Friday but I bet it's just that, ceremonial.

But boy won't it be interesting to follow Turner tomorrow and what if no news comes out, that turns into Th or Fri or... NSD.

Obviously if he's that torn he could choose to just wait it out but it sounds like it's happening tomorrow, actually tonight, one way or another.

 

[ResLife Hero]

Are we expecting Foskey or Tuner's decisions to come out before the all star games? I thought both were going to try to keep their choice under wraps.

 

[Sea Turtle]

Thanks my man. Appreciate your posts!

Yea I totally agree. I think the last two years, BK has had a signing day press conference around 2-4PM, but I don't remember the exact time. I know that he usually announces almost every single commitment so I think the guys usually wake up before school and do it, but then they have those ceremonial things in the following days. I'm not too nervous about the class and I think everyone will sign, but I am super intrigued about Isaiah Foskey and Asa Turner and what will happen to them! I know Foskey has mentioned that he'd like to sign late so we'll see what happens with their recruitments.

Sounds like confidence is pretty high at 247 that Foskey signs, send in his LOI to ND. ND doesn't report it publicly and he goes on to announce with his team and school on NSD.

if that's what he does, hope ND doesn't screw it up and leak it like with what's his name...

That is great news. Really want the entire class to be done early so staff can begin focusing on their future teammates ('20 and '21) and the playoff.

 

[NDdomer2]

You mean cuz it isn't already leaked right

 

[Irish YJ]

You mean cuz it isn't already leaked right

chit chat is one thing... but didn't they actually print his name in the presser notes they handed out to the media lol

oops

 

[Luckylucci]

It was Eddie Vanderdoes and yes, they botched that one pretty good.
