Talent just isn't the same as it once was in Youngstown area. Plain and simple.

I just went to the YSU site and counted 39 players from NEO and W. Pa. on the roster.  Guess we need more "local" talent.  ;D ;D ;D

Great point !! Include the rest of the buckeye and your probably over 50. What I do know is over 17 players out of state contribute to this program in a big way. Then again who needs the likes of Ruiz , D.Rivers , Nwadiogbu , Cejudo and others on the team. I'm not about to argue with the 4 time defending national champ Bison for drawing their recruits from the states of Florida , Texas , Arizona, , California, , Hawaii and Washington it seems to be working out fine for them..anyone wish to disagree ??☺

WR Chad Swanson from Huber Heights Wayne had an in home visit from Montgomery last night.

Reminds me of a taller Christian Bryan. 6-3, not gonna blow anybody away with his speed but runs great routes and has good hands. And had very solid stats playing against solid D1 programs.

Versatile and athletic only 185 pounds. Strong for his size and probably a 4.7 kid or faster. Sheds blocks like a 230 pound middle linebacker should..again I have know idea where the staff might play him . There should be some different options to choose from

What are you trying to say Fever. I agree that we should recruit everywhere ...and if I was the head coach at BFEU ...I would have no choice. Quite frankly, as a local I expect recruiting to be local ...and I am not even a local. Lack of this adds to lack of ticket sales. We are arguing over nothing.

BTW, we have 26 players from within 100 miles of Youngstown ...3 graduate ...leaving 23. I am not saying it is a good number or bad. Stubbs, D'Alesio, Kelly (last few games),  Collucci (a few games) and Zaborski and the only ones that had games as a starter. Family, not fans, look at the bench. We can amke the argument that many of these are not our best players ...and we would be right. That is what I want to see changed.

Hard to say what the scholarship situation is for these local kids also. They may be cheap partials.

Somehow that got stuck in the middle, sorry.

The numbers don't match. Losing 12 seniors and bringing in way more than that. Is Dunn a "done" deal cause I heard he was still "shopping" around ?

I don't believe Dunn is close to a done deal at all... Just a rumored possibility.

And we also don't know who is all leaving besides Wheary and Nania so that can play a big factor as well.
