The solution to winning in 2023 isn't always going to be local talent. If local talent has MAC or decent FCS offers that is one thing, but if they don't there is a reason for it. Most of the local kids in this class are PWO's. Look at the numbers the Lowellville kid put up. Great for the HS Level vs D7 opposition, but against the big boys in the Dakotas, you tell me?
YSUGO:
The plan is to get D1 FCS players on our roster. The lineman have to meet a height requirement now. Just like what Wolford recruited. I see us getting deeper here.
ucfpengbuck:
It looks like the o-linemen YSU are recruiting is like the Iowa method were you get an undersized (weight) guy and red-shirt him and get the players in the weight room. Iowa and other schools that can't get the 5 star 330 lb blue chip will take tight ends who have great foot work and make them into linemen.
As far as our local qb that put up monster numbers,you have to take in account that he is throwing to D7 wide outs and has D7 O-line blocking for him. Maybe he's an exceptional talent at a small school ?

Per 247 sports, that kid only had 1 FBS offer (Kent) and one FCS (Eastern Illinois)
Did we not even offer him?
Also curious where you guys see the "star" rankings for some of these kids. Most I see is on 247
