2015 YSU Football Recruiting Thread
paladin:
05 -- they look like solid football players because they are. But the rub is a good 5'9 player loses out to a good 6'2 player most of the time. I'm not prepared to give Bo a pass because Wolf was in the same position and recruited a top notch class almost single handed his first class. I'd also hold off until NLOID to compare other MVFC teams recruits. I think you'll find we are behind the 8ball. The MVFC recruits VERY well. Bo will have Wolf's players who are size wise and ability level still competitive in the MVFC.
Fever has stated it well -- you should look for mismatch problems in this class. And if the next class doesn't improve, it will be downhill fast. Time yet for more recruits. Any one have a number of schollies available this year ?
And as for Mitchell, I got to agree with you Fever. Don't know what they want there . We are already deep at RB and I'm not seeing him as much help elsewhere. I might be missing something. One thing is for sure, making friends in Cleveland with Ed's, Iggy, etc and looking at big public school players there should turn up some players. Contacts established for future recruiting.
ValleyTalk:
Mitchell was recruited to play OLB. Hence the reason why I said he could hit. He was not recruited to play RB per his Twitter account.

I agree, but how many in that "great" recruiting class actually panned out? It's hit and miss on both sides. You get the athletic freaks who look good in shorts and t shirts, but have trouble actually playing football, and then you have the kids who are couple inches short or too slow, but are 4 year starters because they have the football IQ. Time to see if Bo's plan can work.
paladin:
05- the last time we saw players too short or too slow, Heacock was doing the recruiting and it went downhill fast. Heacock had players with FB IQs, but they got exposed playing against bigger and faster players. We had good D coaching too. Most of you guys still don't get it -- there was nothing wrong with the players Wolf was bringing in. They were fast, had size and playing abilities. We had a coaching problem with schemes and adjustments.
