anyone know where i can find who has verbaled to us for the class to be freshman next year? NSD is 10 weeks away, so we should have a pretty good idea on our class
ive heard rumors that Bowden kid from harding has grade troubles, would be fun to see if he can get into ysu and see if we can pull him for a steal.
-
I have been keeping track all year long. So far we have these commits:
Eric Bentley, 6-3, 240 DE from Akron SVSM (OH)
Antoine Cook, 6-4, 215 DE from McKeesport (PA)
Daniel Becker, 6-4, 250 DE from Indian Hill (OH)
Miles Joiner, 6-4, 215 TE from Chaminade Julienne (OH)
Bryce Gibson, 5-9, 185 RB/DB from Johnstown (PA)
Braxton Chapman 6-1, 195 OLB/RB Farrell (PA)
-
Offensive lineman were the real "skilled" players this year, w/o their blocking (pass and run) we wouldn't be in the national championship. Wells benefited from their protection and the running backs excelled because of their run blocking. Pelini should go after "elite and athletic" offensive lineman for the future....

gotta be more than that, unless this staff just doesnt recruit. only 7 kids almost into January, is doubtful.
-
I believe we lose 16 SR's and maybe a few dopers??
-
We know this because the players announced their intentions. Our coaches can not mention any recruits by name until they sign. There are undoubtedly many more that we do not know about. Be patient. Last year Pelini could only offer promise; this year he can market results.
-
I have heard some rumblings about a couple JUCO players as well, and I'm sure with the connections the Pelini brothers have, we will get an FBS transfer or two.
-
Not to mention this years success will translate to the 2018 class, not so much this coming 2017 class.
-
We need JUCOS. I suspect there will be a lot of transfers (I include JUCOs as transfers).

How many kids red-Shirted this year?
I know the LB that transferred in from Rutgers did after he got a concussion.
I would expect some transfers for OL and DB's
-
My nephew is on the team and he told me on Christmas that we have a Wide out coming in from O.State! And remember the name of Braxton Chapman, he is definitely bigger than 195, more in the 210-215 range already and he is still 17yrs old! Alot of fans want a big back and he will certain be that in the future, he is coming off a ACL injury so he may red-shirt next year, but remember I said look out for this kid in the future! Check his hudl highlights out when you get a chance... He is also a straight A student!

Ryan Lezzer, WR/DB from Clearview, PA committed tonight. Offers from Buffalo, Eastern Michigan, Navy, Army, Air Force along with several FCS schools. Very solid athlete.

He chose an FCS school in the Natty over teams in the G5, where there is no hope for a Natty...unless....

Maybe the NEC, Patriot, MEAC, and Pioneer should have their own playoff too. Seriously if the G5 wants to have a shot at the playoffs, then drop to FCS....although some won't even have a shot there either.

The talk of their own playoffs is probably worthy of its own thread. Bottom line is that all those loser schools seem to want their cake and eat it too. They want to be BIG TIME and play real football against the big boys ( for the money ) but when reality strikes and they realize that they are not big time they want some crumbs thrown their way.

Well maybe he didn't want to commit to military service. Usually they offer guys with really good grades but are average athetes.

Could be, but I'm sure playing in the Army-Navy game in front of the President would be a draw. I have no idea what his particular reasons were. I was just thinking of what distinguishes us from every school he rejected. Whatever it was, was big since he gave up FCOA to be a Penguin.
-
Ryan Lezzer is my nephew. I wasn't able to watch him play in high school but I'm sure we have an awesome athlete. Very excited he selected YSU and can't wait to watch him play as a penguin!
-
Lezzer might have something to him, averaged 16 yards per catch as a junior and 18 yards per catch as a senior.

Is he being recruited as a WR or a CB? Sites say CB. Either way hope he does well.

I asked a friend of mine who could be transfering out of Ohio State thats a WR and he said RS Fresh Alex Stump from St. Eds.
Kid was a beast in HS, always thought he could do better at a YSU than a Ohio St.

Info on Stump. Doesn't look like he got any playing time this season:
he was considered the No. 1 receiver in Ohio as well as the No. 3 receiver in the Midwest region while also earning national receiving rankings of No. 23 by Scout, No. 36 by 247Sports and No. 42 by Rivals ... PrepStar named him all-Midwest Region
-
Really liked Stump coming out of high school. Made some big plays for a big time program. Solid get if he comes here.

Add QB Joe Craycraft from Marion to the list. 6-4, 200 pound with a strong arm. Needed a QB in this class.

Looks good. He has escapability and elusiveness, and runs designed QB runs. Doesn't just put it in park in the pocket. Shouldn't saddle the offense with consistently negative rushing yards.
-
Started playing QB in 9th grade. Level of competition isn't great but has some tools.

Sounds good.

QB looks okay. He will RS I would hope.

I'm reading some of these posts and it seems like all we need to do is tweek a couple positions and we are good to go for another deep playoff run.
I simply don't see it that way. Our entire starding defensive backfield is gone. The key to our D was constant pressure from the DE's and they are both gone (probably to the NFL) Both our RB's are gone. Our best receiver and punt returner is at least gone for a good while (and he was KEY in a couple of wins with punt returns) The left side of our OL is gone. We are back in the same mess at QB with either running with a pass option or a drop back passer.
I'm confortable with TE LB's DT's and Kicking. Everything else has some biq holes.
Anybody see it differently than this?

I thought we were getting Koontz from Boardman? I guess not. We really have no need for him, but he is solid.

Christian Turner, a 5-10, 190 RB from Cincinnati La Salle high school has committed to YSU. Highly productive back for the D2 state champs.

Yep, heard the same. He is not on Virginia Tech's roster anymore.

Kid can catch, which was big part of Jody's game and would have been seriously missing. LaSalle is pretty high level competition, so should be ready.

You never have enough quality players, but without a doubt, TE is our deepest position. If we are going to lose one we thought we had, TE would be the best position to lose.

Kid has a BIG leg. Conner is accurate, but not very long.

"Highly productive" is an understatement. Go to his twitter page. Kid seems to be absolutely THRILLED to be a Penquin! Seems as if "Christian" may be more than just his name, and couldn't help but notice 2 involved parents. I am always struck at parents day for seniors, the ones that make the 4-5 years seem to have stronge family structures. Plus we already know he looks good in a red #21 jersey!

I followed that Twitter link, and I am now a CT fan. I love it when people are "all in" and dedicated and committed, and don't know the meaning of mediocrity. He's damn proud to be a Penguin, and literally wears it on his sleeve.

Hey Nation, I knew we'd fnd something we agree on! Can't wait to meet this kid. BTW, if you watch his HUDL videos, I believe he can play a little too! He played at Cinn. LaSalle and that is pretty big time. Not knocking local schools, but hard to assess somebody racking up a ton of yards against West Branch etc.
-
Update on Durkin: He is already enrolled in school here. I'm guessing he's getting the chance to be the starting TE.

Looks to me like the DE's will be the "go-no go" position on this team. We have highly respected DE recruits, but as yet unproven. The rest of the question marks have returning vets with some experience and some good prospects to fill in.
I HATE to say this, but the issue next spring and fall looks like a repeat of davis vs wells vs hosick with a measure of mays thrown in for good measure!

Go Guins there are lots of needs, wants and desires from all your top FCS programs each year. With 63 scholarships that can be divided between 85 players compared to the 85 full scholarships allowed at the FBS level it will always be an uphill battle. The key is to not get overloaded at any one position and still have comfortable depth. Sometimes it always doesn't work out that way. More often then not you will always have a weaker side to the line of scrimmage from year to year. At least our backup defensive ends were able to get their feet wet this year and they will only continue to improve. I think Mays was kept at the back up position for a reason after Ricky returned from injury. I think we will have an offense that will put up a ton of yards and points next season. My hope is we develop a strong defense that may bend at times, but won't break. The coaches are still active on the Juco trail you could see a few surprises on defense before signing day

Do I need to raise my hand and be acknowledged if I want to go to the bathroom teacher? WTF is this all about? I been watching YSU football since you were a gleam in your daddy's eye, so don't talk down to me. OF COURSE one side of the ball is better than the other. Same is true for Ohio State and the New England Patriots too. What kind of elementary class are you running here?
Our backup D ends were a pitiful shadow of Rivers and Moss, and we need major input of new talent if we are going to be reasonable competitive with a 100% new D backfield. You guys and your backups slay me.
-
My question to you go guins is what other position would you like to take away from to have the quality defensive ends that you want in place?
-
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.
-
My question to you go guins is what other position would you like to take away from to have the quality defensive ends that you want in place?
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?

That is a remarkably high number of kids still in the program. Wish we had the numbers from Wolford's classes to compare. I seem to remember we lost 16 kids from the program is one season under Wolf.
-
I count 17 open scholarships (Seniors Graduated) and that is not including anybody who transfers out during the off season.
We have 11 coming in so far, by my count including Durkin. I would suspect 1 or 2 more FBS transfers. Could also allow some of the walk-ons from last year to grab a scholly.
-
Fever, thanks for the numbers breakdown on Bo's two recruiting classes. I agree that it is very positive that most are still in the program. This is how you build a program properly, a program that eventually will be able to compete every year.

I agree 100%! I really like the way the new class is shaping up. If, and it's a BIG IF, the DE recruits can play at a reasonably high level, this team could be better than last. LB's best group in a while, RB is deeper, QB's more experienced, WR more experienced. OL more athletic, CB's probably a little better and kicking should be healthy. Zack's injury hurt us in a few games.

I would disagree a little here. We will never see the caliber of DE's again like Rivers and Moss. The best DE's in all of FCS and probably more than half of the mid majors in FBS. DB's will not be better. I don't count out Bo and Carl defensively but they'll have work cut out for them in the secondary. RB's also wont be as deep. We will miss Ruiz and his good instincts and finding the hole and Webb's speed. Agree with the LB's though. Very, very good group. QB's and WR's will also be more experienced. Townsend, Bailey and Patterson all going to be seniors.

My only comment on your DE assessment is to include all of FBS. We'll see how many teams have both DE's drafted, my guess not too damn many. (Alabama for one) BUT, we have very solid returning DT's and LB's so we won't need "carried" the way we were in most of 2016. Nobody talks about it much, but Lee Wright's return for the playoffs was BIG. Assuming no more gun play, he should be here for all of 2017. I am very high on additions at RB as well as McCaster and Alessi. I think will be at nearly as good early, could be even better later.
-
Nice points Chief. I do think Carl was put in a hard way with the number of quality players, as I can think of no other reason that we moved our safeties so much. I am really hoping we can recruit our way out of this. Then we do not need to have a Rivers & Moss ... although I will certainly take another pair :)

DJ Smalls, a 6-1 DB from Hutchinson CC is committed and already enrolled.

His HUDL video lists him as a self-described "lock down corner". Two things. We need a lock down corner (2 actually) and you need corners with confidence. Kid seems to have an attitude on the field. Looks like a good pickup.
What we don't need is the Hutchinson CC QB. He threw what, 4 ints in the spring game?
-
I think I am noticing something in this year’s recruiting. In Bo's first class (He signed after national signing day in 2014, so transfers of Moss and Alexander were only impact that year) There wasn’t much of a pattern to his recruiting. Almost looked like he was recruiting backup depth across the board. This year it looks like he is filling in specific spots. IE, top recruit is D end with a total of 3 and now CB’s with Lezzer and Smalls. Looks like Pelini is working on a plan to get back to Frisco!

I also think it was important to the school (and Bo) that he go after as much local talent as possible. I really think it is important as well and can really payoff for us in the long run.

I can see South Dakota really improving in the next few years. One of my real good Navy buddies played football for them and is a current grad assistant with the athletic department. He always says good things about traveling to YSU and when YSU goes there.

I like Coates' speed, but please watch the video with particular attention to the downfield blocking, particularly on punt returns. The quy we should recruit is the special teams coach at Kennedy! Best I've blocking punt return group I've ever seen.

The plan is to use Durkin as the short yardage back/ FB. There is also a possibility you could see him in a hybrid look out of the TE position. I think he will be an asset to the offense and program

Football players are always welcome, and this kid seems like a "football player" in the best sense of the words.

This kid has two HUDL videos. One for offense and one for defense. Since we have about 12 6-5 240lb TE's and we've lost our 2 DE's, it will be interesting to see where Josh ends up playing. 6-5 250-260 is ideal for a DE.
-
Having seen him play many games for Mooney, Hewlett is the one kid on that team that I thought might be able to help us. Definitely has the size and the toughness. The problem is he, like the Navy recruit that he shared time in the backfield with, has a severe case of fumbleitis. If that cannot be cured, he still might help us on defense.

With Kuhn graduating, we only have Rader, Wood and Parente (Who's more of a blocking TE) in the fold. Of course Durkin the transfer may play some type of TE role but Joiner and Burgett will be welcome additions who can redshirt and contribute going forward.

We list Kuhn as a junior and Mark Schuler is a 6-5 250 TE which gives us 5 TE's I still think Burgett can help more at DE.
-
My mistake, Wood was the senior and graduated. Kuhn, Parente and Rader will all be seniors. Schuler is the punter and did not play TE so can't expect him to going forward.
-
"did not play TE so can't expect him to going forward."
Why not? We had 4 pretty decent tight ends and didn't need him, but if we have need, he is a player too.
Some pretty good catches and blocking at: http://www.hudl.com/video/3/655320/5721b81d9a90ec55407654d3
-
Not saying he can't play TE but he's focusing on punter.
-
Not saying he can't play TE but he's focusing on punter.
And I'm not saying he can't punt, but tons of guys have played a position and also punted. Even in the NFL. If I remember Mark came to the program as a TE. I even recall postes on this blog lamenting we had no punter! Then Schuler stepped up and became the punter only after being here.
-
Burgett has really good hands and is a excellent run blocking tight end. He needs to work on his quickness and speed. Speaking of specialists Nate Needham will be leaving the program and explore other options from different schools

Not surprised with Kennedy and Schuler having taken over special teams duties. Needham was the kickoff specialist. We did just offer a local punter a walk on scholly. Ryan Teminsky from Canfield.

Quickness and speed, the two things you can't work on with significant success.
Needham is no surprise. Just no room, and we offered Colten McFadden on top of what we already have.

Great pickup... offers from Wyoming, South Dakota State, Northern Iowa, Western Illinois, and North Dakota:

Jackson is a good pickup. We just offered Melvin Jackson, a DB from St. Edward high school. Has offers from Toledo, Air Force, Ball State, Buffalo. Would be a solid commitment if we can land him.
-
How can these guys possibly be any good? A former poster assured us that Bo could not recruit. :P

Agreed, James Jackson should be a great signing, but the Jackson we really want is Melvin! We NEED a big strong fast corner, and all we can get. (who doesn't?)

Big and fast and made a couple really good catches. All things that should work at YSU! Looks like good pickup for a team with marginal receivers.

Somebody said 17 but we can take as many walkons as we want. Not sure what you'd do with this kid. Certainly not a QB. Maybe safety? We'll see. This might be a good sign because this kid would play somewhere at Slippery Rock or Hiram and I wonder if playoff run and TV coverage made him think twice about YSU?
-
How can these guys possibly be any good? A former poster assured us that Bo could not recruit. :P
Good point! I can hear him now, "yeah yeah yeah we made it to Frisco, but poor coaching with poorly recruited players and a stupid adminstration cost us the national championship. And they'll never make it back."
-

18 spots open by my count with 17 seniors and Needham leaving. May have a few extra spots depending on if anyone else leaves the program from the current roster.

Anybody have any insites on QB's? We have at 3 seniors who all want to start plus a sophmore. Maybe Mays waits them out, but at least one of the seniors is going to be firmly planted on the bench, and they all want to play. Somebody may want out. Also Townsend is still on the roster but he is out at least half the season with drugs. Could he play Div. II right away if he transfers vs sit out 1/2 the year?
-
A few items if anyone knows:
1. Does Townsend sit for sure & does it start at infraction, or is it some type of regular season violation?
2. With the type of recruits that we have been getting, there is bound to be academic casualties. If anyone knows how many that we had from last year to this year, we could use that figure as an estimate; as I think this year would be even higher.

Sorry I mean:
1. Does anyone know if the 6-month penalty for weed is penalized by 6-months straight from the time issued, or 6-months during the season?
2.If we knew how many players we lost due to academics last year, this year should be just as high, if not higher. If the academic casualties were on scholarship, those can be added to our totals.

I haven't a clue, but your potential "opportunity" for additional scholarships certainly rings true. Some guys just aren't cut out for college, plus all the other distractions, and certainly not everybody gets along with any coach. Bo is certainly better with his players the Wolford was, as I recall we lost 16 to Wolford one year along, but Bo will have dropouts too.

This kid has great football instincts and is a hitter. Really shines on special teams. You need this kind of player in your program.

Yes Ice. However, it is FBS and I am sure that our post-season success did not go unrecognized and kids want IA/FBS. I noticed that his in-state rank jumped very quickly from 188 to 61 over the post-season ...that probably brought him on to "the radar" a bit more.

I think he is big enough. Boy, it's hard to tell watching these hudl tapes. You don't know the level of competition nad this kid plays on a bad line, so really hard to judge.

Ice,
You think we have too many safeties? This kid is a safety not a LB, and you always need special teams guys.
-
I watched his tape. He played a lot of LB. He's too small for LB at the FCS level. I'm not sure he's fast enough to play safety. We could use more safety's not Linebackers
-
5'11" is OK for HS LB, but not MVFC. Kid played a ton of safety too. Strong safety much more read and react than speed, plus his speed looks fine for level of HS competition. Problem is, we aren't sure what that is. Nice to watch Hudl videos of OH kids, because we know the schools and the level of the opposition.
Besides nobody has too many LB's. You need 5 or 6 to play plus as many as you can find for kick teams.

I wasn't concerned about the 5'11. It was his weight. At strong safety he still needs to be fast and he's not. I'm ok with the number of LB's we have now to cover kicks and play D. We need big D-Lineman
-
Bryant just committed
-
Don't care about height. He runs decent and if he can pack on a couple more pounds, he will be solid. He has a real nose for the ball.
-
Just another note: A couple walk on's from the area who will join the program:
Yanni Koullias- RB from Campbell
Donovan Turney- DT from Boardman
Noah Bayus- WR from Champion
They go along with Darrell Jackson from Mooney and Jake Cummings from Canfield as walk-ons in the program. Always good to have local kids in the program. Whether they see the field or not.
-
Bryant is kinda in the mold of the Wright kid. Looks like he ran a 4.7 and has a nose for the ball. Projected as a weak side linebacker. Before his Senior year he needed to get better at pass coverage.

Sherrod Paige, a 6-2 190 pound safety from Orange Coast College in CA has committed. Not afraid to hit.

Joey Hobbs, a 6-5, 260 pound DE was offered and visited over the weekend. Went to high school in Mechanicsburg, PA.
Was arrested along with his brother for attempted robbery and was sentenced to jail time. Went and played at Independence CC in Kansas.
Kid definitely has the size and tools for Bo and Carl to work with. Let's see if we can get him.
Has offers from UT-Martin, Colorado State and Toledo.

Now this kid is a true safety
-
We lost a couple good safeties, 2 terrific RBs and the best pair of DEs we'll ever see at YSU, but looks like we have loaded up with some really good looking replacements. Obviously MVFC football is a lot tougher competition then the opponents in the HUDL videos, but sure looks like a good, need specific, recruiting class. Several of these guys could/should/need to step in and help immediately and quite a few will help on special teams as soon as on the roster (assuming several will redshirt)
IMO, overall much better than last year's class.

Thanks. I could do the voice over for his presser. He is a darn good coach, but not much with the microphone! “This kid is a really good RB, this kid is a really good DE etc.”
-
I want him to answer who is not coming back that opened up all these spots
-
In a VERY rough count, I have 19 players and 18 spots, so somebody I have listed as a scholarship player is walking on, or has flipped like Lezzer or somebody is leaving, but I show only 1 overlap, so could easily be OK. Bo can count to 20, I'm pretty sure. (Buckeye grad right?)

Are all these local kids going to YSU walk ons?

Remember.. he can split scholarships in the FCS
I'm unsure on a point of split scholarships. If you have to be on an athletic scholarship to participate in a game, so partial scholarships count toward that? IE, if we give 4 kids 25% schollies, can they all play?
-
Many preferred walk-ons will redshirt the 1st year, play scout team that year and the year after and then once kids leave the program and spots open, some of these kids who have worked hard and stayed with it and have the athletic ability, get an oppurtunity to see the field.

Yes, but all DI football teams are limited to 85 players receiving scholarship. So it is not as though you can give everyone 25% and have 252 players on scholarship.

NO 252?? Too bad, that was what I was hoping for! Seriously, what I was wondering was a number of the local walk-on types are going to end up as special teams guys at best, and if partials could play, that lets that opportunity open for them as they will never get full rides.
Thanks, you answered my question. Sounds like the NCAA made this rule make some sense and many don't.

They (whomever "they" are) don't like this kid because he is too strong? Release looks quick, arm is big time strong. Sign him up!

Somehow YALE has more of an impressive ring to it than Youngstown State. Kid has a family etc. and YALE would be pretty impressive. Plus almost all these kids need to make a living in something other than football, and if you can cut it academically at Yale, then he should go for it. (Even if YSU is a better football option for him)

you are a true total moron and dont belong on a forum talking about football whatsoever. just out right ******* stupid.

Overall a great class and targeted at exactly what we need (DE, DB, RB LB in particular)
You always have remorse for the ones that got away, like Lezzer and Walker, but got a couple of surprised like Durkin and Anderson that we thought were lost. All and all a great day for the Quins!
Now the spring game and down to Pitt for the opener, than back to Frisco!!

Full ride to Elon. He is potentially a Sunday kicker, but not a huge need at YSU for at least 2 years. Good luck Colton
-
My thoughts on the class.... A lot of red shirts coming, except for the JUCO kids and Durkin obviously. But some nice depth and kids who can make an impact. Like Chapman a lot at RB. Anderson can be a nice OLB if he puts on a little more size. I expect a few transfers coming in the spring/summer to fill out the rest of the scholarships.

Agree with what you say. DEs NEEDED in a HUGE way, but most look like redshirts to me. 6-4 215 isn't going to get it. Will be RS freshman in 2018 at 6-4 or 6-5 250-260 which will be much better. Hope one or 2 is working to get to 240 or 250 by this fall for some depth.
Anybody have any idea who the two Bo says we are still waiting on one piece of paperwork before anouncing?

Also hearing Pittman may not play football anymore. Hence the need for LB depth

My thoughts on the class.... A lot of red shirts coming, except for the JUCO kids and Durkin obviously. But some nice depth and kids who can make an impact. Like Chapman a lot at RB. Anderson can be a nice OLB if he puts on a little more size. I expect a few transfers coming in the spring/summer to fill out the rest of the scholarships.
Agree with what you say. DEs NEEDED in a HUGE way, but most look like redshirts to me. 6-4 215 isn't going to get it. Will be RS freshman in 2018 at 6-4 or 6-5 250-260 which will be much better. Hope one or 2 is working to get to 240 or 250 by this fall for some depth.
Anybody have any idea who the two Bo says we are still waiting on one piece of paperwork before anouncing?
Sherrod Paige and Naz Batee Diggs.

Thanks Chief,
They were both listed on the YSU website before the press conference so whatever was missing was as minor as Bo made it sound.
What is your opinion of the class?

Some of each of their paperwork wasn't finished when Bo started his presser so he can't comment on the players until everything is finished... I like the class, but I don't see anybody who makes a real impact this year besides Durkin and the JUCO kids. Maybe Chapman and Anderson. I feel like they get at least 2 FBS transfers and another JUCO.

We already have one quality DE transfer from another FCS school. They thought they could get him cleared through the NCAA to play last year, but they gave him another year instead. He is 6'4" 260 and fast. I think he will help us next year. His Hudl is:

What happened to Colton McFadden? Did he go elsewhere?
Full ride to Elon. He is potentially a Sunday kicker, but not a huge need at YSU for at least 2 years. Good luck Colton
He was offered by Elon, but it doesn't look like he accepted. Elon has a kicker listed with their signing class, but it's not Paul's boy.

He came from Austin Peay. Good kid. Like his size

That's correct he is not with Elon. He is waiting on signing. My sense is he signs here but who knows.

That is actually a good sign that he is coming here. Someone correct me on this if I am wrong. Colton enrolls here under his father's remission plan for academics and is offered preferred status for football. Then he has another year before his 5-years starts; or does preferred status start your playing clock?

I saw the Elon acceptance on Colton's twitter account, but it's not there now. Must have changed his mind.

Finally 260# should be ready to go and God knows, we need DE help!

IAA Fan,
A player's five year eligibility clock starts with the first semester that he is enrolled in college. Does not matter if he is an active member of the team or not.

That makes sense at least.

How can these guys possibly be any good? A former poster assured us that Bo could not recruit. :P
Is that the same one that predicted 6-5 at best and no playoffs? :o

No playoffs for sure, but 6-5 sounds kind of high for him!

I've felt under the weather the last couple of weeks, but all in all I was very pleased with this year's class. There's lots of local kids and that's what coach Bo and the staff wants. It would have been nice to get a tall receiver and a defensive tackle, but maybe the staff will at a later date. The last I heard it was a toss up for the 6"5 WR from Fullerton between UAB and us. On a side note I noticed NDS and SDSU recruited a ton of WR's and TE's with incredible size. The Bison took 2 Qb's this year ( one is a 6"5 kid from Florida ) and their class came from 12 different states.

"I've felt under the weather the last couple of weeks" Was it a Fever?
(hope you are feeling better) Steven Pappadakes HUDL tape is as good as Derek River's was. Hope he is about 1/2 as good for the 'Guins! Would like to get a big Receiver, but I wonder if we don't play Durkin outside some, or at least a double TE set. With Tevin and new power backs double TE set would be interesting especially with Durkin able to get downfield. Could be very interesting.

Mooney's Darrell Jackson is no longer walking on at YSU. Signed with California University of PA.

Chief,
Thanks for keeping us posted. You obviously have reliable inside information, and I appreciate the fact that you always pass it along. Anderson and Hewlett are the two Mooney players that can actually help us, and I am really happy that we landed them.

Can't blame the kid for this move. Probably starts for the Valcans, probably not for the Quins.
