When will YSU announce all these players that you have mentioned. I watched Bo's news conference today. Neither him nor the football website provided a listing of these guys.
Will YSU announce a complete listing soon?

They are now all up on the website and announced on social media. Bo couldn't comment on all of them until their signed faxes came in and the presser was at 10am so they all weren't in yet.

My thoughts on the class...
Don't expect any of the freshman to contribute right away this year. I expect all to redshirt. Hard to tell how the JUCO O-Lineman will pan out. Won't know anything until spring ball is complete and probably even not until fall camp starts. Some may redshirt.
Remember there is still good talent on this team returning. VanGorder if he can win the QB job and Farrar and Mallory at WR should be a nice duo and Hawkins at TE with Durkin will also be nice. Overall, I think Bo's best class depending on how some of the JUCO's pan out.

My votes:
Biggest beast ever signed: Henry Yoboue This kid has only played FB a couple years, and is a huge project, but huge is the key word!
Biggest 1st year D impact: Griffin Hoak Position is "open" so should start. 6-1 225 is ideal MVFC LB size Football family, has instincts, coaching, and non-stop motor.
Biggest offensive impact: Zach Farrar Position as also "open" and JUCO experience will help a lot in transition. 6-4 WR is just what the Dr ordered and this kid was originally an Oklahoma recruit. Footnote. Biggest newcomer on O, Braxton Chapman RFr. This kid is going to be a load, but second year at YSU.
Biggest special teams impact: Tempted to go with Grant Gonya, but deferred to bounce back year by Kennedy. so now on Dra Rushton as kick returner.
Biggest career impact: Jayden Cunningham. QB has all the advantage over any other position.
Love to read what others think.

So according to you Hoak is going to play MLB instead of AD. I don’t think so. He’s not going to play Will or Buck cuz he’s too slow

I don't see a speed problem with Houk. Issue isn't timed 40 but how fast you start running. Recognition is the biggest issue. Coaching and instincts and motor. Griffin has it. LB starters AD CM and GH. Who plays where will be up to new coach, but I'd bet on GH as the strong side guy.

Just wanted to throw this out there. A late addition. Going to play LB.
