All "local" area recruits?? No rankings on any of our guys. No florida kids on the list yet. Lots of BIG men going to other schools.

Ours looks the weakest?Of course I know these ratings don't really mean a whole lot, but our total number is one of the lowest also.

It sucks when you can only get verbals from guys that won't qualify.I know that was low. I apologize.

Temple goin' nuts!!

Hit the nail on the head CK. I can't believe I'm about to type this again, but the future of MAC football is in Philadelphia at Temple. The brilliant and well hung GP1 with his movie star good looks was the first to post here weeks ago that Temple has a chance to dominate the MAC within three years. Temple will be the next Marshall, but with the potential to be even better. That school has a good geographical area to recruit from, they play in an NFL stadium, they have a huge population base to draw fans from, the school has played big time football in the past so they know what it takes and it is in one of the largest cities in the US so the kids have plenty to do when they are there. The campus is in a bad part of town, but so is Akron.Whatever stadium we build will be dwarfed, as well as every other MAC stadium, in comparison to the stadium Temple offers.I notice Temple is drawing a lot of "urban" players. They are accustomed to keeping at risk kids eligible with a big time basketball program and should be able to do it for football as well. We worry about recruiting "good kids" or "good students" or whatever anyone wants to call them. I call them future losers.The thing I notice, outside of the fact that there are slim pickings, about the Zips is one of the players is named Harvey. Any relation?If JD is banking the future of the program on kids from NE Ohio and western PA, that will be a disaster. NE Ohio and WPIAL high school football is a shell of what it was 20-30 years ago. Once the major conference programs finish picking through the better players, there is little quality left.
