Just like the majority of HS work turned is has the same answers wrong. Kids steal, copy and plagiarize all the time.

For what it's worth, all the current players' tweets about the situation have been positive, thanking Coach Fleck and wishing him luck. Nobody seems to be upset.

Bogan, Franklin, Okorafor, Moton, Bellamy, Guido, Terrell, Falcon, Matich, Ekwoge, Phillips and more all made positive statements.

Prince Walker says he's 100% with WMU.

Hustlebelt talked to a few commits and gauged where they are at. It seems like most are weighing their options and processing the situation.

The D zone also talked to some commits:

Denzel Houston has decommitted.

Who knows for sure, they might be BSing too, but:

1.) Chris Elmore - GONE for sure ('reopening my recruitment')
2.) Kyle Sassack - most likely gone ('haven't had time to think')
3.) Prince Walker - most likely stays ('100%')
4.) Kaiser Carleton - most likely stays ('don't commit to a coach')
5.) Treshaun Hayward - most likely gone ('haven't had time to think')
6.) John Michael Schmitz - most likely gone ('haven't had time to think')
7.) Tanner Morgan - I think he stays personally b/c he's a QB
8.) Tyone Chambers - GONE for sure (being heavily recruited)
9.) Dwayne Chapman - most likely gone (looking forward for Fleck)
10.) Ralph Holley - GONE for sure ('reopening my recruitment')
11.) Chris Bell - GONE for sure ('reopening my recruitment')
12.) Marcus Hayes - who knows (article doesn't really say)
13.) Denzel Houston - GONE FOR SURE ('decommited')

'Half of the class will be gone'

Sad looking at the old articles seeing them all excited to RTB with Fleck at WMU. :(

You won't lose as many as feared maybe 4. Most classes care filled and no one is dropping for Akron, EMU, . Fleck will take 2 .

Trenton Guthrie and Kyle Sassack offered by Fleck. Guthrie committed on the spot. Sassack will likely flip to Minn soon. Thanks Fleck!

But he loves us...

Tanner Morgan just flipped as well.

What a POS

Lotsa talent out there. Depending on who we bring in, they may bring along some top recruits with them. It goes both ways.

The big thing is getting someone hired soon enough so they can at least bring in their DC and OC to help 'sell' the program to recruits. Sector coaches are important as well-they're the folks the recruits will be working with the most-but knowing the DC and OC and what they have planned will attract recruits.

Kathy needs a hire not later than the end of next week. Sooner if possible.

This guy gets it

Welcome to the game.. as I told someone (forgot who) before, nothing says you have to like it but this has all been the norm (just ask all our other MAC fans).

Nothing new to see here. We all saw this coming. The timing of this really f'd everyone... no way to immediately stop the bleeding without a hire you in know way want to rush...

Matt Rhule had the respect for his previous employer/university to not go after any Temple commits after his departure. PJ not so much.

Really though we will be fine if we don't get a good recruiting class this year. Our team has talent for the next 2 to 3 years. If we have players start transfering out then we might be in trouble.

Just goes to show how weak Minn class was... Rhule didn't need Temple recruits... PJ apparently needs WMU recruits... if that's all he can get going forward he's got big problems in the BIG10....
