MAC schools are pouncing on Fourqurean. CB from Grand Valley State.
-
On a side note, most P5 head coaches are meeting with their players this week since they cannot go on the road recruiting (assistants can go on the road). There has already been an uptick in entries today.

Hate to hear that. I hope his recovery goes as smoothly as possible. -
Another DB offered. Trevell Mullen from Indiana. Former 4 star CB.

Bump for update as of 4/25.

Yes, thank you. Typo on my part. -

My best guess is initially we will see something like this: LT - Landers LG - Robarge C - Georges RG - Kilbane RT - N. Williams That being said, I don’t think it will stay that way through the season. I remember looking down at the sideline last year during the CMU game and thinking “it’ll be another year before Davis, T. Williams, and Hale-Frater help us.” They just weren’t in D1 shape at that point. Fast forward a year and it’s pretty clear from @Captain Kangaroo’s photos that is no longer the case (for K. Davis and T.Williams at least). We need those guys to come along as they bring a level of athleticism that some of the veteran OL just don’t have. As much as JoeMo loves for his OL to pull, get to the second level, and be able to block out in space, the athleticism those guys bring will make a big difference. 100% agree Landers is locked in. The same can probably be said for N.Williams since he is considered the emotional leader of the OL. I suspect once T.Williams and K. Davis get their moment, they will be hard to keep off the field. Im anxious to see for myself at the spring game. A year can make a big difference so maybe we come away feeling entirely different? Switching gears to the spring game, I remember last year in the spring clips Curtis Fann looked the part as a DL. Couple that with his HS film and it stood to reason he was ready to do something. Fast forward to the spring game and he gave such poor effort. I doubt we see anything like that this year as JoeMo has done a lot of “pruning” to the roster. -
‘And we’re on the board! Jason Hocker is former an edge player that has grown into a linebacker. Watch his HUDL film and you can see many of the same traits that McCoy and Griffin have.

Just noticed walk-on RB Dae’Vontay Latimer is no longer listed on the roster. -
Class of '23 Offers & Verbal Commits

Nice pickup and the stealth offers continue! Anderson has great feet and can make guys miss in tight space. This is going to be a fun year. -
And apparently received an offer. Now has offers from us and Eastern Michigan.

Well, that answers our question. -
Offer to JUCO DT Taleeq Robbins.
-
The day in the sun is coming my friend!

Thanks for that! A few questions that may be hard to answer. Do you recall seeing #8 T. Jones, #4 R.Johnson, #55 K. Thomas, or #7 J. Richardson? Just wondering if they were being held out or had some type of injury. Was #2 A. Williams with the RBs or WRs? Any chance to observe the redshirt freshmen OL #54 Tyhler Williams or #56 Keylen Davis?
-
Offer to Coloardo CB Joshua Wiggins. That’s a few new DB offers lately. Certainly has the feel of another DB has either left the team that we don’t know about or is planning to leave.

Correct. We won’t see anything about his signing if he’s a PWO. Some other MAC schools will announce someone has signed when it isn’t clear if it’s scholarship or PWO. I’m just speculating that George could be PWO, but I don’t have any inside connections to the program to validate that. -

I believe that leaves Gage Summers and AJ George as the only ones that haven’t signed? -
Wow. Baseball, Men’s Soccer, and Swimming & Diving raised more money than football. Can’t say I saw that coming. Weight room seems a bit of an afterthought.

All great news! Hoping to make the spring game to get an in person look. I was going to attend the Rivals camp in Cincinnati tomorrow to see some of the top area talent, but going to pass this year as the weather is iffy and I don’t want to make long(ish) drives back to back weekends. Keep the intel coming!

Here are the updated HS/JUCO rankings at Rivals. The majority of players that still need ratings at this point are JUCOs. I know we still aren’t done with 2023, but how is everyone feeling now? Im in the process of going back in the system and updating previous years for comparison, but keeping track of all the current movement has taken up most of my free time. Forgot to add that these rankings still include some verbal commitments that will not sign with their respective teams. So the rankings may change some in the coming weeks.

Not that I’ve seen. I thought we were bringing in Jackson as a DT. According to his JUCO profile he was a DT at 285lbs. Now he’s listed at 250lbs and a DE. If he’s playing DE I’m not sure if we’ll bring in another DE. -

Here’s his practice film. At the very least, he looks better than a couple guys that have moved on since JoeMo’s arrival. Sorry, didn’t mean to respond twice. Meant to edit. User error. -

Potentially a PWO for us too. Unless I’m missing something, it doesn’t look like he saw any game action last year.
