Ever notice how many GA players we now have between the two classes? And by the way English hold over players have developed well under CC. All three JUCO wrs look a their offers and Bailey, Johnny N and Porter can hold their own on the FBS level. Look at our frosh DB Phelps, Calhoun, McGill they did well as true frosh. RBs-Vann, Ericksen, Banham a walk on, Turner all can play.

Lets look at Marcellus Johnson for example EdgyTim is a longtime Illinois recruiting analysis who likes this player. He's going to Missouri St camp, attended Northwest camp, was at our camp, finished third at the EliteFB Network event in Detroit, won the MVP at the SUF Chicago showcase. He will likely go to more camps this summer and get more exposure. Right now we're his only FBS offer. Lets see what happens to him by the fall.

You're probably right. Bottom of the MAC recruiting is realistically all we should expect from EMU football. It's just so difficult and unfair at EMU. Much easier to set the expectations low, give Thanks for anything more than 3 wins, and allot enough money in the budget each year for really cool participation trophies.

Let's revisit on signing day 2018.
