Staff offered him out of HS, good height at 6'2" would complement Williams and Mason well but didn't have a recorded catch at ODU.

FBS vs FCS would be my guess

Good point LZip. I never claimed to be the brightest. I assumed he decommitted before the offer from Akron came but you could be right. 

 

He had decent numbers. I'm willing to give anyone a chance.

Looks like Myers went the JUCO route out of high school before landing at ODU, while Hilburn will be coming straight from JUCO. Both receivers were very productive at that level, albeit as two different types of players. Hilburn looks like a guy who could step right in on both kickoff and punt return. If Brookhart can get similar production out of them as they had in JUCO, then these two commitments should be excellent additions.

By my count this currently gives us 14 signings. 

10 offense:

6 OL

1 QB

3 WR

 

4 defense:

2 LB

2 DB

 

We still need some DL and an upperclassman QB.

 

Ps. Zips' OL coach Joel Rodriguez is one hell of a recruiter.

Bruno to UCF, Delvin Morris to Kansas State. 

I would have thought it would be the other way around.

It appears he started 7 games at Center this season. Not sure if he missed the others with injury or lost his spot. I would think he lost his spot and that's why he's transferring.

Likely-- we got him over WKU and UAB.
