Total, the University received twenty-three signed letters of intent.

One of the latest pick ups was previously-Florida commitment Ricky Barnum. Rivals.com lists Barnum as the fifth-ranked center in the country, and a four star recruit overall.

These signees include three Four-Star recruits according to Rivals.com, including Michael Shaw, Brandon Moore, and Roy Roundtree.
