This has already been brought up and the "verbal" part of the statement, while still inherent, often gets forgotten in their commitments. Even with the word "verbal" included I still think that there has to be a better term for it. Like I said, the word commitment to me means dedication, yet the word commitment in the world of football recruiting means next to nothing with how often they get dropped.

And Cade Peacock has signed, that's all of the known commitments signed!

From what I can tell from maxpreps stats, 3 out of our 4 DB signees played on both sides of the ball. All of them are listed at 6'0 or taller too!

That also leaves DE Cade Peacock as our only known commitment left to sign, but he has been retweeting all of the Davis signings so as far as I know he is still on board.

ATH Chris Venable has also signed on as a DB. That's 4 DB's so far.

ATH Tyler Saikhon has signed as a DB!

We got a signee I knew nothing about.

OL Jordan Ford from Del Campo High School in Fair Oaks has signed!

Not justifying Plough's reaction, just that I understand the reaction. These guys put a lot of work into the recruiting and then to have a guy drop you a couple days before signing day must be gut wrenching. It's the name of the game, but still...

In terms of the statistics that he was throwing out, I don't know what to say. Not my area of expertise, but they should probably double check those things before posting.

OL Ari Sallus has signed!

WR Justin Kraft has signed!

I totally understand Plough's frustration though. Baker has been committed for a long time and then just bam tossed us to the curb in a matter of days. We can use the word verbal but most of these kids just use the word commitment. I just think there has to be a better word because when I am committed to something I am 100% dedicated to following through on whatever it was.

DB Jack Shippy has signed!

That being said, the world of football recruiting needs to come up with a better word than committed/commitment for athletes who declare before the sign their LOI. At least in my mind the word commitment carries a lot of weight, whereas it carries little to no weight in this area.

Oh I absolutely don't blame Baker. These athletes have to go where they think they will be the happiest and have the best chance for success. I agree that I don't necessarily understand the logic though of choosing a school that favors the run over the pass if you are a QB looking to make it at the next level. Oh well, congrats to SDSU on getting a stud.

Mozes Mooney has committed to Columbia.

Da'von Frazier has committed and signed! Eaton and Simkins have signed!

Aaaaaaaaaand Carson Baker signed a national letter of intent with SDSU... that sucks.

And I don't think Coach Plough is happy about it

WE HAVE A NEW COMMITMENT!!!

ATH Chris Venable has committed to UC Davis. Played WR and CB for Centennial.

RB Danny Smith has committed to Boise State.

New offer out on DT Josiah Suani. This last season had 79 total tackles including 32 for losses and 14 sacks. For being 300+ pounds he is very quick off the line in his highlights.
