Lol I'd settle for Larry Sanders if he'd average more than this team's 2.4 yards per carry. 2 Quote

catdaddyp Posted November 8, 2022 Author Report Posted November 8, 2022 New offer out to JUCO OT Caleb Barajas. Check his twitter feed and he has a clip pinned doing a standing backflip. Impressive for a guy his size. Quote
catdaddyp Posted November 9, 2022 Author Report Posted November 9, 2022 Our DC offered LB Melvin Spriggs on his visit last night. In other news, recently offered DE Taylor Wein has since picked up his first P5 offers from Oklahoma and Southern Cal. Quote

He would be a great recruit. I always think we need at least 3 DL in each recruiting class. Go Zips!!! Quote

He fits the mold of the LBs this staff has been recruiting - physical and explosive when coming down hill. Spriggs currently only has one other offer and I hope it stays that way to increase our chances of landing him. I’m afraid we’ll be off Wein’s radar by the time it’s all said and done. A lot of times it’s like breaking a dam to a waterfall. Get a P5 offer from a well respected position coach and the offers start flowing in. Edited November 10, 2022 by catdaddyp Quote

I always find it odd how players who clearly look like they can play slip through the cracks. Grades are an easy cop out, but I don't even think that is always the case. Konata Mumpfield would be a good example. Also, my guess is they are recruiting him for OLB/Edge, which I think we need an upgrade at, and at the very least, more depth.

94zipgrad Posted November 10, 2022 Report Posted November 10, 2022 Valpo is in the Pioneer & the Pioneer has a no scholarship agreement so I would say we are his only offer. Quote

I’m not sure why he doesn't have more offers. He looks explosive from both DE and LB. Regardless of where he plays, we need more players with his ability on the roster. Assuming no one transfers we’re looking at a returning core of Johnson, Richardson, Thomas, Fann, and Lawson at the edge next year. That’s a solid group talent wise, but will they play up to it?

Yep, you are correct. They probably present it as an athletic scholarship when in fact it’s just financial aid and assuring him a spot on the football team.
