Since no one else has started one, I guess I will. :)

Is there a live stream this year like usual? I can't find anything on UK Athletics.

In fact, it seems any form of media coverage of signing day is lacking at the program level.

Looks like all of the 15 current commits are signed but Shamar Porter. So I guess we're just waiting on him and any potential surprise early signees.

Any rumblings on Bell or Gilbert?

I know this is true across the board, but it seems like there is a distinct lack of suspense this year around NSD. Any rumors of who else we can add to this class?

A distinct lack of suspense and apparently a distinct lack of interest. I've never seen a signing day so poorly covered by media. UK Athletics used to make an event out of it, running a multi-hour live stream with interviews, film breakdowns, etc. This year? Zip, zilch, nada. I am terribly disappointed that this year's signing day seems to be an afterthought.

I’m in no position to call anyone out, but even on this board there’s a distinct lack of excitement.

Looks like the only suspense is waiting for Porter to sign. That, and maybe an unforeseen surprise of flipping someone else’s commit.

I saw a tweet elsewhere that Trey Cornist has signed with Tulane. Not sure if we were recruiting him that hard leading up to today or not.....

Im very disappointed in the coverage this year, too. This is the biggest football day of the year for me and gets me fired up for the next season. Wonder what happened that they didn't have the signing day special this year

It was no longer expected after we got Davis to transfer in. This is the RB I really wanted. Thought and hoped it would be Cornist and Wilcox for the future. Neither signing now is a big disappointment for me, but the staff had priorities for this coming year that needed to be addressed first and foremost.

Still might have a shot at Wilcox I guess.

I'm happy with the freshman we have signing, but personally I'm more pumped for the transfers we have coming in. Those guys will have the big impact on how good we are next year.

Imo lack of excitement is a good thing. Our guys were solid and really no need for worry. Sure beats the alternative

Bell = unsigned
Gilbert = unsigned
Spencer = unsigned
Harkless = signed with Purdue
Cokes = unsigned
