The new guys should be enrolled by now so can you share any updates? Thanks in advance
We finally have everyone all set and good to go, so we are announcing 16 names tomorrow (Wednesday) throughout the mid morning and mid afternoon (depends how fast I can get everything scheduled) and then we will have a media deal with Coach G at 4:15 pm, and we will post that soon afterwards.
UNMSID
Thank you - looking forward to it
So, with these 16 new guys + the 11 signed earlier it appears that we pretty much have made up for all who matriculated or transferred out. Some here were lamenting only inking 11 earlier but so far it seems it is going just as DG said. Of course, only time will tell if these are the “right” guys to get the needed Ws but at least as to ”numbers” we are where we need to be.
Names popping up on Twitter 2 #lobofootball. At work, no time to list them. Couple of names we haven't heard before.
thanks jdw - too bad for me not on twitter but waiting for the golobos update with baited breath
@doublealum they are also getting announced on the UNM Lobo Football Instagram and Facebook pages.
thanks - i know i'm "not with it" but i don't do any of those - my problem but will appreciate the golobos and the later in the day posting of the announcement. again thanks@doublealum they are also getting announced on the UNM Lobo Football Instagram and Facebook pages.
oh i see that i can see them on twitter without having to have an account - i'm on it and stoked - thanks SID and jdw! Go Lobos!
So far everyone being announced are RBs, WRs, TE and QBs. No O-Line or defensive players i've seen.
one guy is listed as TE/DE - time will tell but some good size in general and some decent speed it seems.So far everyone being announced are RBs, WRs, TE and QBs. No O-Line or defensive players i've seen.
@lobomarv46 There was a pattern ... QBs, offense ... then the last offensive guy (who is in three minutes, is from a school so we transition to the same school but the defensive guys ... then it's all defense after that).
I sat at my kitchen table this morning from 7:30 to about 9:30 am unloading the dishwasher and scheduling all of the posts on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Yes I had fun and it's pretty exciting to add all these pieces.
Coach G said at his original December signing day presser there was a plan in place and we would have a much bigger announcement of transfers and mid-years which was why that December announcement was only 11. We will have a few more names next week for the February signing day too.
WOW, I mean they always look good on twitter and time will tell how and if they produce. But it looks like Danny and his team had quite the hunting expedition. Finally have men playing against men. One of those WR's looks like he's pushing 35 in his pic.
Looks like a lot of balance in terms of positions on D - DBs, LBs, and a couple of D-linemen. On O I think all skill position players no O-linemen - hope maybe some in Feb. late signing period although we did get a couple in the early signing period. Overall, very good size, looks exciting and am anticipating the coaches' breakdowns on golobos.com this afternoon. Thanks to SID and jdw for pointing me in the right direction to watch these come in.
also, 23 of them are already in school. That's excellent.
Also, Frank? On Devon, Sagaro. Nit-picky, but someone's sure to call you out on it. 🙂

@jdw He's from Saguaro ... that's how it's spelled ... at least everywhere and on his questionnaire.
so a 17th?
@unmsid Sorry, edited my original. On your twitter pic of the release, it's seguaro, which is what I was pointing out.
Dorian Lewis maybe the 17th?
I saw the "Pew, Pew, Pew" thought we recruited Michael Peake
We stole enough dudes from TCU, how about one from Oklahoma!

bryson washington - db transfer from Okla. 4* our of high school (i think at least the 2nd one)
What changed ? Could we have been getting guys like this the whole time and chose the HS route, are we taking chances on kids ? Seems like a shift for sure. Collective hitting on all cylinders ?
I think that last year woke a lot of people up to the possibilities of the Portal. Now, all of these are second- and third-string for the most part, but that's the purpose of the Portal. Three from TCU and one from OU is eye opening though.
Have to win some games next year, though. Replacing most of the offense and a bit of the D will make it interesting.
8 WRs, 6 DBs, 4 QBs, 3 LBs, 2 OL, 2 TE, 2 DL and 2 RBs....Hit the skill positions hard, hopefully see some linemen signed in February. I would say that we might pass the ball a little next year!!! Dorian Lewis was the 18th player announced and signed!
3 from TCU, 1 from OU, 1 from Washington State, 7 from JuCo ranks, 1 Alabama State, 2 UAB, 1 Temple, 1 Louisiana Monroe, 1 App State
looks like we'll lead the league in Washington's, for sure.bryson washington - db transfer from Okla. 4* our of high school (i think at least the 2nd one)
