It makes sense that some recruits will have second thoughts about WMU after fleck strikes it rich. The important thing for EMU is to continue the improvement so that the program is an attractive option to all recruits.

Excellent point I want emu to be their FIRST choice not a last resort or coaching changes at other schools I agree with Steve we are showing good success with a majority of our juco players makes easier to go back and see if there are any more

As we've learned from Murphy in MBB, there are MANY ways to acquire the recruits needed to win.

Transfers aren't a big part of CFB (largely because of redshirting which burns a year) but JUCOs can certainly be.

As we know, mid-year JUCO transfers are quit nice. They have JUCO experience, they can do spring ball, etc. all of which means that in a way they are more valuable than a freshman. They can (and are expected to) fill holes immediately something that it isn't fair to ask of a true freshman.
