Since the recruits are reporting their offers, not the coaches, I wonder if we are a bit behind in number of offers? I see WMU: 184, Toledo:155, Temple, BG, B.ST. all over 120. We are @ 80 or so. I am not in a big hurry but I see a lot of our higher rated recruits leaning away from us. I do not want to be like Temple with 23 recruits or WMU with 15. I would like to see about 10 or so by the start of fall practice. I do not think we are aiming too high, I just would like to see the # of offers increased with more high quality guys. I think we have a chance for a great class, I just want to expand the pool of players a bit.

It's going to be really interesting to see what happens with Temple's class, as it is 23 already...

Usually you see the non-BCS lag behind as they possibly wait for players that thought were going to get a BCS offer, or leave some spots open for players that possibly held BCS offers but lose them later in the year, etc.

I don't know enough about who they have...but do they have players that are going to jump at the first BCS offer? And could be left scrambling in November/December to fill a ton of spots? Or did they possibly not aim high enough?

Or maybe they're just doing a Great job this year...will be interesting.

It is CMU with 15 commits, not WMU. It is too early to comment on Temple"s class. At first blush it appears to be average with very little flexability to bring in any other kidds. These guys have not even played their senior year. IMHO, they did not aim high enough with 2 exceptions. CMU class looks average so far. NIU is aiming much higher than these 2 schools!
