Are we sure they are announcing? Last time we had an athlete make a big announcement they narrowed their list to a top 10.

Not sure if it's any indicator, but there are a lot of Howard coaches liking the tweet from both twins.

That's why I didn't write committing. They will announce something.

McDonald twins narrow their list to a final 5-
W&M
Navy
Marshall
Howard
Louisiana Monroe

Plan is to commit August 3rd.

Very different schools.

Howard - HBCU in a city 4 hrs away. Lower FCS
Marshall - ok FBS 5 hrs away
USNA - higher FBS military commitment 5 hrs away
ULM - ok FBS 13 hrs away
W&M - high FCS in a town 4 hrs away

ULM & Marshall have the most in common. I can see them picking Marshall

I've seen recruiting for twins over the years and if they stay together you either have to go to the best school that the lesser twin can get a scholarship or go for the fit of the better twin and maybe only get one full scholarship. Some of that may be happening.

Donovan announced that he is committing August 1st.
Between Everette and the McDonalds (Aug 3rd), the 1st week of August will be an important time in recruiting.

Unfortunately, It feels that way to me too. Hopefully, we can pull a rabbit out of the hat and snag them. A pair of Uber athletic 6'3 220lb athletes could be slotted all over the field and make an impact.

All of these weight training videos the McDonald twins post drive me nuts. I mean, I love the drive and work ethic, just the awful form and lifting in flip flops make me cringe. They are both so raw and have so much potential. It would be exciting to see what Keir and the strength coaches could do with them.

I feel the opposite and think we may see two more additions.

Hope you are right. I think both could develop into physical mismatches in the CAA.

One of my favorite moments on these boards is when Thunders told us that he had never heard of William & Mary and some one asked him if he knew who Marshall was named for and where that person graduated from.

They chose Louisiana Monroe and I can’t understate the surprise I feel over that decision

Backdoor deal, I'm sure.

They may end up signing there. They will never graduate from there. No sign or they will transfer within 2 years.

Except for the quizzical nature of picking the school that is the farthermost from their home, that comment was said tongue-in-cheek.

I hope they enjoy college and graduate. W&M wasn't the school for them and that's okay.

Their friend, HS teammate and fellow ULM commit, Zavione Wood, received 3 offers...the most prominent being from Bridgewater and that didn't come until June 17th. It is what it is.

Curious to see if they honor Wood's scholarship for 4 years. They may "encourage" him to move along.

Possible PWO for him
