The list is up on the Lehigh web site with just 22 names.

The missing names are ATH Connor Gum (who’s still coming to Lehigh) and WR Julian Turner (who, I understand, changed his mind and is going to Navy instead, I have heard).
Connor’s situation will be addressed by coach today in the video comments (coming later).

Assume Gum a p/w/o. Turner a big loss. I like who we got but a depressing announcement. Big year certainly didn’t help all that much in recruiting this year

Rereading we do get a tease that “may”sign a few more. Still ignoring the PR a disappointing announcement. Purely selfish on my part as the individuals on the list are quite good and bound to help us down the road.
Losing so many seniors and having smallest class that I can recall may mean something I’m just not sure what. Perhaps we are saving slots for next year?

does the 85 limit have anything to do with recruiting class size? Just wondering.
22 x 4 = 88

Not for this year but perhaps for next. We lose 23 seniors ( 28 since last Spring), so signing approx same # may be a foretelling of future classes. We return 77 ,as of now so total squad at 99. Of which only 20 are juniors.

More teasers.
LoRe from the Easton paper tweets that Andy hopes to wind up with 26-28 over the next few weeks. Admit that is about # I thought we would get. We’ll see.

My count was 26 seniors this year, do you know something about 5th year candidates?

Only one I am aware off is Jefferson, if he applies

Would be great to have Jefferson back, very solid last year.

Coen quoted as covering all positions, but no QB on the list. Could there be a QB in the wings?

Video ,Ok altho would have been nice if they identified some of the kids on film.
Basically a puff piece not much content. I expect there’ll be at least a couple of kids. I’ll hope for the best.
Did you notice the remarkable differences in many of the wts listed here as opposed to recruiting sites and local papers?

Well there are even differences in the weights between the posted article and the release. Ruhl lost 70 pounds somewhere.

Chiasson lost 25 lbs and an inch
