I know I’m just an old nearly 67 year old BUT my how National Signing Day in February, once the biggest day for College football fans, has become DEAD! Nothing today. The good OL days of going to the signing day event and having the HC go over the signees while having a few beers and goodies! Priceless! Slowly killing my love for the sport with this free agency and paying these kids more than I make while asking me to give more and more.
Those signing day parties used to be good times.
College football is not aging well.
TV is gonna squeeze every last ounce of charm out of this sport.
I thought we had a player or two that would sign today.
they have already. It’s now worse than pro sports.
I was monitoring two. 1) Xavier Ford. He signed with Minnesota.
2) Deuce Weston. This one had a lot of smoke prior to the shakeup in the DB room. But definitely a guy to monitor.
you really think a 12 team playoff is worse than the BCS era when only 8-12 teams, in the entire nation, had a legitimate shot at being ranked #1 or #2 at the end of the season?
That era was horrible…98% of College Football had zero chance at winning the National Championship the day the preseason polls came out.
Even in the 4 team playoff era…UCF won EVERY SINGLE GAME and still didn’t get a chance to win the National Championship!!
These days are the glory days where you actually have to win it ON THE FIELD and not in the AP poll!
Yep very quiet.
I liked it when there was still some suspense and got a breakdown from the staff. Now it is more about transfers.
We were so appreciative to Pearland HS for really making it special and a big deal. PHS had 12 players sign that year. 4 D1, 8 D2
The receiver from College Park looks like an absolute steal.
Pretty sure he’s maybe a PWO? Think thats what they call it. Preferred Walk On.
His offers were from non D1 Schools when i looked prior… Texas Weslayan, etc, can’t remember the others
He’s wants to come to UH , so bring it.
What’s his name?

Edit: Blinn, SFA were some other offers.
All the best to the young man. Make the best of it.
His size and stats sure seem excellent.
Not sure why he didn’t have any other FBS offers.
Wait, is he coming to UH THIS Fall, as in Fall 2025?
I only see Lamar and SFA offers at the I-FCS level.
Ryon it’s not deep Sir. Yes, he will be here for June enrollment I’m sure n be part of 2025 squad if all goes well for him.
So what we have our signing day in December now instead of February
I just watched his highlight reel on hudl. Hard to imagine he didn’t have any other offers.
Could be a hidden gem!
Also an excellent blocker from the WR position, from what I can tell.

Here’s another PWO signing from today. Def on small size for LB.
He stated on earlier date that he received PWO from UH. Welcome aboard.
