If past procedures hold true, there will not be an announcement until the new recruiting class is announced in February.

 

My guess is that is by NCAA rule. I would think that new (to UA), qualified student-athletes may be enrolled in the Spring Semester but not officially part of the team until the signing period/letters of intent (which occurs in early February).

Well the three "new names" confirms what I have heard from a source on campus over the holidays!  There are still a couple of additions remaining that I had heard about -- two players coming from Portugal... I suspect the team was trying to add them before Spring practice, which would mean they are enrolled for Spring semester.  I had heard that coach Coppinger was overseas recruiting.  He's the GK coach, so I wonder if he recruits (field players) also...?

Wow. The coaches will have their work cut out trying to narrow that list down. Or are there normally 32 players on the final roster?

2017 roster had 31 players.  2016 had 30 and 2015 28 or 29, I beleve...

CONGRATULATIONS Captain Nick!!!
