Another National Signing Day (NSD) is just around the corner and just like the opening ceremony at the Olympic Games every few years you never know quite what to expect. However, we can be almost certain that head games, hat games, misdirection plays, double switches and some dirty dealing and double crossing are definitely on the agenda.
The only thing that is clear is that at some designated time in the early morning hours of Wednesday, February 4, 2015 the NCAA will declare NSD open for business at college campuses all around the Nation with what basically amounts to a loud proclamation of: "Let the Games begin!"
Fax machines will begin to whir as they spring to life with what is the life blood of any college football team: A National Letter of Intent (NOI) from high school seniors and JUCO players across the Country.
Both coaches and fans alike will alternately cheer and curse as the news of who signs where comes out in rapid-fire succession as each NOI is received and formally approved by the compliance departments at each school. Spontaneous celebrations of joy will break out and a few cell phones will probably be smashed in mad desperation about the one that got away.
To follow the fast-paced action, of course you can tune into Canespace as our recruiting gurus will be on hand all day to report each official "Welcome to The U!" as it is announced.
Cloudy with a chance of pillars

Golden better not fill this class up with trash depth in the days to come. It's going to be hard enough recovering from the Golden Years without a bunch of dead weight.

Elder was a 4-Star and one of the best athletes in all TN he was expected to be productive lol... I think dj means those unknown guys Al gets after NSD to take up space

Latwan Anderson was a 5-star and "expected" to be productive, he didnt work out so well.
"Depth trash" is only known after time has passed, not because they sign late, which is what he and other dude said, not the same.

@CanesWarningFS: So, Tyree St. Louis to Miami! That's huge to keep him. Can make an immediate impact for The Canes

So 2 LBs, 1DT, and 1WR...sounds about right, huh. SMH at these clowns. I know SOFLO recruits can be pre madonnas, but good lord we got raped from other schools this year and it was easy with this staff in place.
Okay, done with the negativity today and looking forward to our new staff.

Well Thirsty, that's not the world we're living in as Canes fans at the moment. U go 6-7 and have a coach at #1 on the hot seat to be fired, you're gonna struggle to hold kids. Next coach needs talent, and this kid helps that a lot

Congrats again to all the new Canes. Coming on board in this environment is not easy, many had other opportunities but they chose The U.
Seats are opening up, so I get a chance to get better seats and once again join the "fake fans" and root for these dudes and the rest of the Canes.

Word on the street is that we are still in the running for the big DT from Chattahoochee, Bubba Muhammad. This will be a HUGE steal, if we can pull him away from Bama or the Noles.
I understand that D'No is still working the phones.
I'm liking this "it's not ova till it's ova" recruiting effort from our coaching staff.
Keep looking for those gems in the rough!!! They're out there. We just need to fudge their HS grades a little, coach 'em up, and let 'em loose on game day.
