SAVANNAH, Georgia -- Savannah State could have a letter of intent from a junior college transfer in the next couple of days, but outside of that, the Tigers will sign the entirety of their 2018 signing class on National Signing Day on Feb. 7.
Raeburn said he feels confident in his upcoming recruiting class, and his decision to hold off on accepting any LOIs came as a result of the current Division I-AA program’s impending transition to Division II in 2019.
Raeburn said the Tigers did not arrange any official visits during the contact period prior to the early signing period, and all official visits will be scheduled in January.
“We just found out recently what conference we’re going to be in,” Raeburn said of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. “We just didn’t feel like without being able to give recruits that answer, we didn’t think it was fair to get them to sign on this early signing date. We decided in our unique situation in our transition and not being able to give definitive answers, we decided to do our official visits in January.”
But Raeburn said the school’s position of being able to guarantee recruits only one remaining season in the FCS hasn’t been too much of a turnoff. Players who were interested in Savannah State before the Division II announcement are still interested, he said.
