Continued struggles to land legit MAC OL talent are concerning.

Hm maybe. Harris probably showed up to camp either not in shape or saw there was more talent ahead of him than he realized. Back to Riverside CC where he will be recruited by another school. OR a clearinghouse issue came up at the last minute and needs to be taken care. Or he may have failed a test. All speculation on my part. We already discussed about Pavletich "retiring" for medical reasons. Hard to forecast that. I would agree that staff failed to land the one or two impact JUCO for the OL that we had hoped for. Not likely to get an impact OL this late in the game it will next year. Hopefully Harris III experience won't give Dakota Ramsey second thoughts on his verbal to EMU. Those of us who have watched his tape believe he can play at this level. Even Harris III was looked at by Grubb, what we have on the roster are Grubb recruits. I more willing to see if Meadows is a better recruiter and coach. We'll find out.

PS the open scholies for 2018 continue to climb. Losing these guys means true frosh will get a chance to play now and not redshirt depending on position.

At this level, it's scary to think a true freshman might play on the OL. If that happens, my Confidence in a back to back bowl season occurring just took a hit. Let's see where we are at after 3 games....go EMU!!
