2020 Recruiting List Hawk describes the class as 'dynamic' in terms of athletic ability (lots of multisport athletics, and guys who play on both sides of the ball) and personality (eagle scouts, thick off-field resumes, high GPA's). didn't go into much detail about individuals besides the big nose tackle and the LB from San Francisco (QB/LB, very athletic). Said to expect a few more signings in the February time frame. Also said they were really excited about the walk-ons, who they can't mention.
as for the turnout? i was pleasantly surprised by the size of the crowd given the weather and timing (Christmas is coming!). I can't remember if last year was in december or february. agree with Agalum that department staff and the coaching staff makes a point to engage with people, not just the big donors. makes for a lively night.
