2017 Recruiting class
FOOTBALLFEVER:
I have been following some of Akron and Kent's recruiting class and it's not pretty. Our staff should be commended for the job they have done especially with the extented season in this year's playoff run

What is concerning to me is that it looks like we are getting smaller in size. I haven't looked at it closely but at a glance it seems we are getting smaller.

You mean physically smaller? HS kids are always (very often) much smaller than their playing weight in college. Kid comes in as a 285# OT and gets red shirted his freshman year and viola, you end up with a 310 RS-Freshman! Magic and the science of modern chemistry! Look at height not weight. Christian Turner, the RB everybody (especially me) is so high on is 5-10 185. If he ends up at RB, it will be 5-11 or 6-0 210 or bigger than Ruiz and McCaster. Size never bothers me, only speed. Can’t teach speed.

Your question is relevant only if we have 21 scholarships. Since we have more than enough for 2 players at every position, plus kickers and extra backups to cover injuries. IMO, your question doesn’t make sense, unless you plan on “missing” on most of your scholarship players.
Your implication is if I want Rivers/Moss quality DE's then I can't also have quality OL. I disagree, and in fact feel absolutely the opposite. If Rivers and Moss get drafted, then top 1AA recruits will notice at both DE and OL and we end up better at both positions. Winning breeds winning, ask NDSU.

I wish we didn't need so many specialist's on the roster. We have a total of 4 plus the long snapper. A few years back Joey C. handled the majority of those same duties. Bo's first recruiting class was 30 players and 22 remain active on the roster. Bo's second class had 11 and all still remain. Does anyone know how many players we plan on taking this year?
