According to his Twitter we are his only offer. We should take at least one high school DT in each class and if a local guy is deserving to play on this level I’m all for it. He doesn’t seem as explosive as Murphy on film, but if he can clog up running lanes and keep OL off LBs then that sounds good to me.

Not exactly. As things currently stand we’d also be 5th in the Mountain West, 5th in the Sun Belt, and 6th in Conference USA. Under Arth we were getting out recruited by not only the majority of FBS teams, but also a slew of FCS teams.

Haha, that’s one way to look at it. I believe there will be 69 P5 teams in 2023 and beating any of them in recruiting is a tough task. Especially for a team that has won 5 games in 4 years. Although it’s not an exact science, better recruiting usually correlates to more wins.

I’ll say this about him, he has a strong base and plays with great extension. Hard to displace. He’s clearly been well coached.

Regardless of where we end up ranked, I think this class complements last year’s class really well. If I recall correctly, we landed a slew of portal/JUCO players between April-June like Holt, Undercuffler, George, Price, and Thomas. And I believe the majority of the class was signed during the second signing period. It’s incredible we were able to land guys like Landers and McCoy that late in the game. I recall JoeMo giving Sam Popper a lot of credit for last year’s recruiting class. All that being said, I feel confident the staff will land some more difference makers before the 2023 season arrives and we’ll have a solid shot at finishing with a top 100 ranking this year.

Correct. Lingard, Jones, amd Rabah are not yet included in the rankings. This will be the first year Rivals has included transfers into their final rankings, but I don’t know what date they will officially be added.

Another offer out to a JUCO Safety.

Maybe a little of both? Haha. I’m just making sure all the teams are updated correctly so everyone is on the same level playing field.

Update on Rivals Team Rankings for 2023 (does not yet include portal commitments): MAC Rankings followed by National Rankings in parentheses. 1 - (79) Central Michigan 2 - (82) Miami 3 - (93) Western Michigan 4 - (95) Akron 4 - (95) Eastern Michigan 6 - (98) Ball State 7 - (99) Buffalo 7 - (99) Toledo 9 - Northern Illinois 10 - Ohio 11 - Bowling Green 12 - Kent State If we finish in the top 100 it will be the highest ranking for the Zips since 2010.

Hopefully he’ll be a February signee. We’ll see.

Bump for additions of Laing-Taylor, Owens, and White.

Bump for addition of Spriggs.

Bump for additions of Jones, Rabah, Cheatom, Dall, and Moore.

A few more offers out. We ain’t done yet.

P5 player without a doubt. Would be an absolute steal if we somehow landed him.

Bump for addition of James and Mann.

Bump for addition of Cravaack.

Syracuse WR committed to Arkansas State. Tennessee WR is still collecting offers.

Wouldn’t be surprised. I also expect to bring in another WR or two out of the portal. Shocky’s position is still up for grabs. Adams and Golden should split time in the slot, while George and Anderson will split time. Although, I hope Golden and Anderson will spend some time learning the other receiver positions to give themselves more of a chance at PT.

Bump for the addition of Louis and Norton.

Bump for addition of Lingard.

That’s a fair concern. Rivals gave him a 3 star in the portal.

If my memory is correct, Hunter was in the last recruiting class by Muschamp/Robinson and Beamer honored the offer when he took over. Hunter would be a solid pickup as far as talent goes, but he doesn’t have much experience. He had little to no chance of playing at Carolina due to the amount of talent in the defensive backfield now.

I think I missed something on this? Assuming this is in reference to Joey Hunter?
