Where we are on 9/7...

While the IMMEDIATE concern is what Ianallo and his staff do on the field with our current players, the additional question is what is going on with recruiting?

7 verbals, 4th best based on stars on Scout, 5th best on Rivals.

I don't want to get too deep into the "star debate", BUT when you bring in this awesome recruiter that Ianallo supposedly is, I expect to finish no worse than 3rd when all is said and done. AND, I expect to get a good # of kids that have been offered by 6+ MAC schools along with some that have been offered by the "lower BE' and the "east of the Mississippi" CUSA. Otherwise...not much sense in getting the recruiting genius we have...unless he proves awesome as a game coach (Um, coach...17-3 and 17-6 are BOTH 2-score scores!!!!).

I try not to look at these player ratings as if they are written in stone, but this certainly isn't the kind of news to get excited about.
