Not to be a jerk, but none of these guys have signed anywhere. They have "verbaled" to those schools. They can't sign until February. Many, many players verbal to a school and then change their mind. It happens quite often, even at the big schools.A lot can happen between now and NLOID.

Considering the schools where these kids have made verbal commitments, I doubt if they will fall down to MAC level, even if they do happen to change their minds.

That may be true, but they certainly won't fall all the way down to any MAC school; that would be the dumbest decision they could ever make.I mean it's the truth, no disrespect to the MAC, it's just the way it is!

Of course I understand that. My point is that they haven't signed anywhere.Also, it does happen that scholarships get pulled for any number of reasons, possibly injury or it is contingent on grades, etc. I am merely saying that anything can happen. That being said, the only way any of these guys ends up signing with UA is if he doesn't get the grades at the other school and prop's here. Then as usual with most of our props, they never play at UA anyway.

It doesn't happen often but it does, and it does happen more times than you think, I verballed to Iowa, but once they made it clear I wouldn't play till I was a soph. and I had to play DB i changed my mind and went to Akron. (Man Faust can talk a good game). But the main reason I decided to go to Akron was the fact I would start when I got here and could play the position I wanted. And they "ALWAYS" showed they were interested. Every recruting class I seen come through Akron had atleast 6 guys that could have signed elsewhere but for different reasons didn't. Some valid some not so valid IMO. Some genuinely just had a great time on their visit and felt more at home and welcome, than just lost in the shuffle of a bigger school. Some didn't get a good "vibe" from the coaches. Like you were hearing a canned speech and that they wanted you but didn't need you. Some like to feel needed, and not just another commodity.Almost all of the props MAC schools get would be at bigger schools if they qualify. Only problem is you don't know if you'll have them for 4 years. I am basing this off of my experience at Akron and the numerous friends that I have that have played at other MAC schools
