Right now in 2014 we have 11 verbal commitments. I thought it would be interesting to see where we are as compared to last year. At this time (Aug 15) of last year we had 8 commitments. This year we have 12. Last season we offered 4 walk-ons scholarships which probably cut into our total number. We will graduate a bigger senior class this coming year so it would seem we may have a few more to give depending on how many walk-ons we put on scholarship.

Good comparison. It also points out the value in holding onto some ships for later on, because there will be some good catches available then.

A couple of corrections: We have 12 verbal commitments (you say 11 in the first sentence), and I think it's Avery Fortenberry--I know that Aaron has completed his playing career at North Texas.

Thank you for that correction. I agree with you that leaving spots open makes sense.

Also, Chumley is on there but Jackson and Graham aren't. And Wallace is on there, so you can likely include OL Sam Rice as a commit at this point for this year's class

Yeah I had pulled them off after they grayshirted and left Chumley on so it isn't a 100% accurate list -- just trying to point out in general where we are in terms of traditional commits versus last season.

      Morris signals it is over

      You know it’s not just the Portal and NIL. I have never seen the traffic on gmg so anemic and I’ve been coming here since the 1990’s. Now, not to say the Portal and NIL haven’t had a huge negative impact but when you add the turmoil and uncertainty with what’s happening in our nation and around the world it’s forcing many to adjust their priorities. With that being said, maybe, just maybe people will turn out in masses on Saturdays if for no other reason than to just seek some kind of normalcy, an attempt to try and convince oneself that all is ok, nothing’s changed…..see the band is playing, the fans are cheering as the players take the field.

      Unfortunately this comment by the head coach at UNT is going to appear defeatist and will do nothing to motivate students, fans or players. Wish it had been some other school’s head coach. Awful publicity for UNT.

      Morris didn't say anything that most of us haven't already said or felt. Quite frankly, what he said has been true for a lot longer than many of us want to admit. Our lack of commitment to athletics (whether you want to blame it on administration, students, alumni, or realistically all of the above) has set us back and has been an issue for years. It still hasn't changed, and it's going to continue to come back to bite us for years to come. There has to be a clear divide at some point, even though I would argue there's been a fuzzy divide for a long time. It's just a matter of time at this point that it becomes crystal clear. We are not going to be in the top tier of that divide. Our stakeholders (I use this broadly and there are clear exceptions) have made that choice over however many years now. It's just going to finally come to a head.

      If the basis for this is simply "not Power conference", then sure. The scholarship allotments suggest difference is level of play, though. I know NIL has negated a lot of that at the current P5/G5 level, but I would think that once you get past a certain point, outside the bubble of the P4, the impact of NIL could be watered down and you will still see scholarship limits play into the level of competition in front of you.

      Softball Tournament Bracket

      After UAB swept us in the regular season, then proceeded to win more games we needed them to lose, and lose games we needed them to win, it's nice for ECU to put an end to their season. Hopefully we can win our fourth straight against the Pirates tomorrow.
