Signing day has a bit of a different feel to it when your team has recently fired its coach. It’s uncomfortable, really. This is supposed to be a day of celebration. Instead, a “win” for a new coach coming from a lower level is doing everything he can to keep not to hemorrhage the previous coach’s commits to stay committed to the school.
For Eli Drinkwitz, today isn’t about winning another press conference. It’s about survival. And it looks like he’s going to be able to keep his head above water for the time being.
Drinkwitz is reportedly expecting to sign approximately 20 players in the 2020 recruiting class.
