If they had the scholarships to give, yes. Schools like Toledo and Miami do not. Akron, Kent, and Western will likely have the most portal activity this year. JoeMo has also said we will only take 12-15 HS players on any given year, so we’ll always be active portalers (probably not a word) as long as this staff is in place.

Still in the process of updating the MAC 2024 Recruiting thread, but here is the link to Rivals 2024 rankings which has us as 6th Overall in the Comprehensive Rankings. We will climb in the coming months with more portal additions.

Unless something has changed, he’s already enrolled and on campus.

DII WR with a year of eligibility.

There it is 💥

I figured he’d be a TE after watching his film. I think his lead recruiter was also our TEs coach.

That should be everyone with the exception of Khalil Witherspoon.

Offered another Merrimack OL. Grad transfer.

Maybe? The 2nd signing day treated us well last year.

RB from Minnesota. 4 years of eligibility.

DII All-Conference OL

Why do I even track our offers when half of them are silent?

That’s disappointing.

I don’t know Iowa’s situation or why Labas didn’t play, but watching his practice film he certainly has the physical makeup. Then again, so does Bullock, so I’m not sure how to feel. Ideally we land at least one QB with significant game experience.

I think most of it will hinge on the quarterback. A number of incoming transfers were all-conference at their respective levels and I’m sure some of the talented freshmen from the 2023 class will be ready to contribute. The team should be better at nearly every position, but if the QB situation is still a problem, it will just be more of the same. There are two transfer windows to get that figured out.

Staying on the former Zip theme, Dakota Thomas landed at a JUCO after his departure. Wondering if grades were an issue with him too. Honorable mention all-conference season at JUCO.

No, it can just be one year. Might be a situation where the staff is keeping him on the back burner in case they don’t land their top targets. Or they may not offer again at all?

Former Zips WR Oran Singleton committed to Eastern Michigan out of JUCO.

OL from Merrimack. 1st team all-conference.

Preseason second team JUCO All-American. Haven’t spoken to him, but he lists other options as ULM and UT-Martin. Edit: Added his JUCO film here. Not sure what his deal is, but the kid looks legit.

Fast and furious today.

Bump for updates. I will update the recruiting standings as the dust settles. As of now our MAC rankings are: HS/JUCO class #10 Portal Class #1 Comprehensive #4

And another!

GA Southern’s biggest issue all year has been turnovers. 5 is certainly on the high end. I thought Ohio was assisted more by GA Southern’s mistakes as opposed to what they actually caused. The QB alone had 16 interceptions going into the game. Gifting the ball to defenses is nothing new to him. Seemed to me Ohio should have won by more considering the turnovers. In any case, they have more depth on the OL and DL than most MAC programs. Their freshmen also stepped up.

Excellent article. About the only thing he’s missing is the Title IX lawsuit that was filed in Oregon a few weeks ago. That could drastically change the landscape as well.
