First, let me apologize for the delay.
We have signed a kicker for this year's (2016) class. Brendan Conn from Arlington High School
Currently, the list is small as they are trying to add to the 2016 roster. Currently, we are looking at 2 former Big 12 WR's, 1 former SEC WR, 1 JUCO OT, 1 former PAC 12 DT and 1 former ACC OG.
2017 Targets: QB- Cal Vincent 6'3 175 from San Angelo Central. Replaces Wooten who signed with TCU
RB- Reed Martin 6'1 210 from Lincoln Christian in Oklahoma
TE- Coy McMillon 6'4 260 from Abilene High (this should make a lot of folks happy); Logan Peterson 6'3 230 from Aledo
DT- Garrett Flanary 6'3 273 from Lincoln Christian in Oklahoma
CB- Darrion Green 5'11 170 from Dallas Wilson High School

Coaches are tweeting about 4 2017 commits--from Florida, Oklahoma, Dallas and Denton. The Fl commit is a WR. No position mentioned for the other three. AcU typically gets commits late for n the cycle. They are being Very Aggressive early this time out.

This is exciting news. I'm on vacation, so I'll try to update when I get back

Are we sure these are 2017 commits?

I'm leaning towards two of those players being Brandon Niccum, the JUCO OL, and Ivan Thomas, the JUCO DL.
Both of which have been previously mentioned on this board.

That's what I was wondering. I also wonder if the WR from Florida could be the SEC WR that was mentioned in the 1st post of this thread. (Best in the nation sounds good to me)

The area codes fit. I said 2017 because no names were mentioned. If 2016 recruits have signed, names could have been used. If they are /016 guys, there are a couple out there we don't know, at least by names.

It seems to me that it is too early to go off on 2017 recruit commits. I remember what happened to SFA last year when five early recruits went FBS two weeks before signing day. That being said, this sounds more like a group of transfers to me.

That being said, this sounds more like a group of transfers to me. This makes sense to me and begs the question of who are the two unknown transfers? We know about an O Lineman and a D lineman. One of the others is a WR, per Coach Thrash. We don't know who he is though other than he is from Florida. And we have no idea about the position of the fourth. Cat Chat sleuths needed to pick up the slack while Mavsman is vacationing.

There is a JUCO safety that we have been after, originally from California, that is committing to a school on Friday. Could be him. As far as the WR, I have seen nothing as of yet that it is the SEC WR we were looking at a few weeks back

As far as the WR, I have seen nothing as of yet that it is the SEC WR we were looking at a few weeks back I hope you are right (and you usually are). Safety and wide receiver are our biggest needs going into the season. Starters, not depth.

The WR Coach Trash says "will be one of the best in the nation" is from the Gainesville, Florida area code. My limited sleuthing did not turn up any Gator WR's who might be coming our way.

Looks like Florida already has their roster up. I'd take Freddie Swain from Ocala, if I had a pick. I'm with Oscar, I don't see anyone on the current roster who might be a possibility.

None of our coaches are following Freddie Swain and he is not following anyone from ACU. Might not be a UF player. Could be a former high school player whose home is somewhere in the Gainesville area.
