Minnesota has now offered our verbal Ki-Jana Evans a scholy. Second Big 10 school to do so. Will we be able to hold on?

Good question. I'm actually talking to him in about 15 minutes, so I may have a better grasp of the situation then.

Also I should note that Indiana has also offered him..

I actually think Indiana is a bigger threat to us than Minnesota because of the momentum they have now that Isaac Griffith just committed, but I could be wrong. Hopefully we can still hang on to him though, you're right.

Not able to get through at the moment. This is obviously a top priority call, though.

he has been quoted saying he didnt think he would blow up like he has with these BIG 10 offers. I think he will end up going BIG 10 just so he can tell his buddies he is going B1G

Hate to speculate already, buuuut..... probably not a good sign, lol...

Nah, I wouldn't take it that way. I talked to him for a minute earlier and he wasn't home yet, probably just that something came up.

While I hate to see us lose a recruit to a bigger school, I'd rather be competing for low tier Big Ten talent than be like CMU and have 5 verbals and no one else interested.

Sked and 'cruit up Babe!

According to Rivals.com, Corey Willis, a 3* Ath from Holland had a WMU offer.

Darrien Boone, QB from Chicago, had offers from Tulane and No. Ill.

Joe Morrow, WR from the Chicago area had an offer from Buffalo.

By my count, 3 commits with other offers isn't "no one else is interested".

This early in the recruiting season, most schools are waiting out summer camp results or Senior tape, etc. Some schools think they have an idea of who fits their plans without waiting. Time will tell if one approach works better than the other. Enos has been able to hold onto the guys he gets commits from (lost nobody from last year's class), even a few who reportedly got later offers from bigger programs.

First off, when MI Preps ranks a kid 3 stars just assume he wouldn't be a top 400 player in Florida. They are notorious for blowing up players.

As for the rest they're simply early MAC offers with no BCS interest. The top Mac talent usually emerges later in the game, not early in the game.

First off, I am not debating the merits of a 3* rating by MI preps. You stated that the CMU commits had "no one else interested". Obviously, your assertion is false. End of story.

Dan Enos was the worst hire in D1 college football in the last decade. Leave our message board.

And so was Keno Davis for that matter.

Willis was someone the WMU staff wanted, but he actually wasn't terribly high on their board. CMU could promise a WR spot and I think that was as much as anything the reason he chose them.

I don't think WMU would've offered any of the others.

Chipfan has to come here, he's relatively sane, likes a spirited debate, and knows his sports. If you've read the chimp board, it's a collective consciousness of kool aid drinkers seeing who can one up each other more as to who is a bigger fan and not be critical.

I feel sorry for him, and like his presence here at the same time.
