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.

Offers out to Arizona State IOL Danny Valenzuela and Cincinnati OL AJ George. We had AJ George and his younger brother Mitchell George (2025 target) in on a visit this past weekend.

It’s quite a class. Nice mix of young talent and guys with college experience. The overall athleticism and potential has certainly been increased. Not everyone will pan out (no class will ever hit 100%), but this class complements the 2022 class well. We also know at least one more DT and OL will be added. Probably another DB too.

Offer to Memphis DB Tyrell Raby.

Figured this one was coming. He said Akron was his leader going into his visit. Gage is a tackling machine.

And another one. DT Matt Lawson from Fresno State.

Offer out to Princeton DT Nate Martey. Looks like a guy that could give us some immediate help.

Thats fair. Always a concern with JUCOs. Although, I really like Nunnally. Not sure why he didn’t have more offers, but that could be due to a slew of reasons when it comes to JUCO. On the bright side the two DEs look to be pretty versatile and could allow us to play more multiple fronts this year. Not to add any more fuel to the fire, but we’re probably not done adding JUCOs to this class.

Why do I even keep a list with all these stealth offers. 🤣

Recent CB offer Marion Ponds committed to Ball State. He doesn’t have it listed on his Twitter, but I’m almost certain he took a visit to Ball State this past weekend.
