10:15 a.m. - Lets quickly review what we have and how they fit the program.

Julian Blair - DE
Toby Ball - LB
J.J. Hugine - DL
Earl Johnson - OL
Devonta Tabannah - DB
Detchauz Wray - ATH
Brad Miller - TE

Blair, Wray and Tabannah will impact the secondary immediately. Wray is a multiple threat guy so it's hard to tell which side of the ball he will play on. These are athletes and speeders.

Johnson is needed on the offensive line and will help add depth to the position.

I actually watched a few clips of Miller and he has good hands. He was able to make big plays at the HS level so hopefully he can have an impact. Reed had a strong season last year but Miller and Mader give UNM options.

Hugine is an Oklahoma kid so he has to be good. Joking. I'm from Oklahoma so I hope this kid makes some noise. Coach Carter really liked his abilities and thinks he can play at this level. Hugine is a big kid and will be in a tough battle up front. Our front line on defense could be very strong next year

10:01 a.m. - Just an interesting little note on one of the signees. Julian Blair's dad played football at Towson in the early 1990s where he was a teammate of Lobo head coach Mike Locksley...the two were both starters in the Tigers' secondary in 1991 when Locksley was a senior free safety and Blair was a junior cornerback.

9:56 a.m. -It's a waiting game at this point. I know other NLIs are in but with compliance right now. This class is starting to shape up with a lot of quality and impact players. I'm excited about our future. I think this class is going to have an impact on us immediately. Thank you for everyone sending e-mails. I'll try to answer questions as I can.

9:34 a.m. - Just In! Julian Blair has signed. Blair was a camper at UNM and ran a 4.49 40-yard dash. He has exceptional speed and the ability to be outstanding in the defensive backfield. He is a physical player with great closing speed. Those are words straight from coach Locksley.

Julian Blair - 5-11 - 180 - Fr-HS - DB - Waldorf, Md. (Westlake HS)
Two-way standout, playing both running back and cornerback, and also returning kicks for head coach Dominic Zaccarelli...helped powerful Westlake post a combined 30-8 record his final three years, including the 2008 Maryland class 3A state title (13-0 over Wilde Lake)...selected to play in the 2009 Southern Mountain Athletic Conference All-Star Football Game...also an accomplished sprinter for the Wolverine's state champion track team (indoor and outdoor)...captured the SMAC indoor 55-meter title last month and was sixth in the event at the state meet in 2009...part of Westlake's all-metro 4x200 relay team...clocked a 4.49 40-yard time at New Mexico's summer football camp last summer.
