According to the website, there are a few surprises. For one, they have signed a QB from South Carolina that I haven't seen mention of before

The website has them at 20 signed. 247 sports had them with 16 commits after the 3 decommitments. Still missing one or two that haven't signed yet

Very happy to have 21 on board so early, compared to last years 3 and former yearly limit of 25 before the NCAA Settlement.

The portal window moving seems to have changed the dynamics. Hope we can retain those that can produce and gain some when the portal opens.

Mater Dei RB Justin Lewis has committed Massachusetts, per his IG

The "Orange County Register" ranks him as the 2nd best running back in Orange County. Orange County, CA is a huge hotbed of high-level recruits. The article is behind a paywall so I can't link it. Not a superstar, but a good get for us. He has 13 offers: just about all of the Ivies and all 3 service academies.

Wow #2 RB in Orange County goes all the way to Amherst, Mass? Mater Dei plays high level high school football - this is an incredible pickup.

Last one posted by the UMass Football twitter account... nice to see he stuck with the verbal.

Former UMass LB, coach, and current Merrimack LB coach was the HC at Santa Margarita for a while. I know he left under bad circumstances. Wonder if he was able to put UMass on the map out there. Would love to see him on coach Joe's staff.

Watched the NSD announcement show with Coach Joe praising the new recruits. "Best we ever had". Can we win 3 games next season?? It would be monumental.
