Commitments expected, attrition limited

At least one verbal commitment is likely this week and a second could come by this weekend. Defense is the current focus, and a high school tackle and a junior college cornerback could join the prospective recruiting Class of 2007 this week. The defensive slant continues this weekend with the official visit of junior college tackle Serge Elizee. In another encouraging sign for Mark Snyder’s coaching staff, limited attrition is expected from the returning roster. Each player from last season’s two-deep returning roster should report for spring practice.
