Commits are coming in fast. How many kids are usually in an FCS class?

I can do some research later, but I think it's usually around 20, give or take a few depending on the team's needs and if the previous graduating class was large or small.

This is a bit more action than we usually see this early due to the new early signing period. Some will still wait until February, but if a kid has made up his mind, it'll be nice to get that taken care of so they can just focus on family during the holidays, on school in January and early February, and if they're graduating early, they can actually go ahead and start college classes in the spring and get in on the spring practices.

Reminder, early signing period is Wed-Fri this week. Probably will see quite a few official NLI's signed and sent in, mostly the players we already know about, although there could be a few surprises.

Also, keep in mind that if we don't get an NLI from a player who has already verbally committed, it doesn't mean we're "out", since there's still the regular signing period in February.

I'll be posting the twitter posts throughout the day and updating the spreadsheet whenever I have a minute.
Here's what I've seen so far:

I also know that I've seen at least a couple of kids post on twitter that they're going to be having signings at their schools during the day. So We'll probably see them kinda spread throughout the day.
