And just as side WMU has 10 commits right now.

They have dominated MAC recruiting for 3 years in a row, and unfortunately, as long as Fleck is there, will continue to do so. That recruiting will probably also start to really show as they compete for MAC championships every year here on out.

You recruit, you win, unless you're just a terrible coach. Somebody please poach Fleck ASAP!!!!

Would be surprised if he's still there, if they win the MAC this year. Some P5 school will make a big $ offer too big to turn down.

And they came within a TD of beating Wisconsin.

Yep, sucks he didn't leave, but looks like it was 1 year early. He didn't really want the dumpster fire at Purdue, only apparently interested in the bigger P5 jobs like Oregon. Unfortunately for him, the Oregon's of the world weren't interested in him quite this early. Now that WMU ran the table, and had a good Cotton bowl showing, his stock just increased again. After another likely MAC championship next year, he may well get the bigger offer he's looking for. Just have to see how the stars line up during next year's coaching carousel.

Even though they lose their QB and 2 best receivers, they return 3 linemen, 2 very good RB's, and almost all of the defense. Still have the best talent from dominating the MAC recruiting, as well as the best class again this year.

Talent wins out, especially in a MAC that was obviously down this year, and is probably at a similar level next year.

We're not close to MAC championship level at this point, especially with another weak recruiting year, and our OLine questions, so it looks like the target for next year is bowl eligibility again, especially with a much more difficult non-conference schedule.
