RE: 2021 Football Recruiting
JMU announced that Greg Ross, a graduate transfer CB from UNC has committed to the Dukesz
Formerly the #1 ranked safety in Maryland with offers from schools including Clemson, WVU, VT, Iowa, Wisconsin, etc.

According to this article from 247, Ross originally committed to Iowa State but decided to stay closer to home because of some family concerns.

Will be interesting to understand and hear what drove this development - Bummed on the McGee choice but nothing done till signed.

Norwood committed to MTSU, then decomitted.
Then comitted, enrolled and played at UMass.
Then transferred from UMass and committed to JMU
Now has left the JMU program for ???

Might be good for all parties involved...

Definitely a trend. Something going on there.

Too bad, he was one of the newbies I was most looking forward to. He seemed to be a top level player.

You left one off. He:
-Committed to Tenn, then decommitted.
-Committed to MTSU, them decommitted.
-Committed to UMass, then left in the middle of his 2nd season, while starting.
-Transferred to JMU, them left before playing a down.

Just said he wont be on the roster in 2021 nothing about him leaving. Could be a disciplinary issue or something else behind the scenes

RE: 2021 Football Recruiting
I used the exact same language that Madia did; i.e., gone from the roster. There are actually two seasons in 2021 (spring and fall right now at least). He left it open-ended with his language, but seems unlikely he'll return (my opinion). Jimmy Moreland did come back, though, after leaving, as did a receiver under Cignetti, as two recent examples.

RE: 2021 Football Recruiting
I saw on the 247 link above that Norwood received the Tenn offer on signing day. I thought that it was weird that he then decommitted given he would have had a signed LOI. So I went digging...

Dec 2017 - Jeremy Pruitt hired at Tenn
2/3/18 - Unofficial visit to Tenn. I'll note Norwood was allowed to take 2 more official visits at this time but this was just an unofficial
2/7/18 - He got the Tenn offer signing day but didn't sign LOI (who knows what was promised to him this day)
- At some point its determined he will blueshirt (makes no sense to me why he would be offered on signing day but then blueshirt as the whole reason to blueshirt is you accidently gave out too many scholarships, which shouldn't happen if you are offering him a scholarship on signing day. I'll note that you can only blueshirt if you did not take an official visit.)
3/20/18 - 4/21/18 - Tenn spring ball
4/8/18 - Decommitts from Tenn (my wild a$$ guess is Tenn may have been dangling the scholarship offer with the expectation that a scholarship would open up during spring ball, which is why there was no LOI in Feb)
4/8/18 - Immediately commits to another in state school that he had gone on an official visit too on 1/12/18. Its stated in an article that MTSU never stopped recruiting him which makes sense why the decommit and commit are the same day. He left Tenn to go to MTSU (versus finding MTSU after leaving
- UMass catches on that he wasn't at Tenn and starts recruiting him again. I'll note that they had three coaches go to an in home visit back on 1/18/18, just 7 days prior to him going on an official at UMass (perhaps UMass didn't have a spot for him until the conclusion of their spring ball / start of summer workouts / players graduating and if Norwood would have actually not even committed to MTSU)
6/10/18 - Joseph thinks UMass >MTSU and/or likes the opportunity to play right away (something that seem to cause the decommit from Tenn)
9/25/19 - Leaves UMass after 4th game cause he is "home sick." I'll note that by leaving before 5th game he could then just redshirt the 2019 season and retain eligibility. Coach is quoted saying "This is something that's been ongoing probably well before I got here. Not in the Transfer Portal yet but we're going to support him in every way, shape, or form. We would love to have JoJo here, he's a really good and is going to be an unbelievable player in the future. I'll also not that his first two commitments were to in state schools and then he was suddenly at a school in the northeast.
12/12/19 - Commits to JMU, rejoining Brian Philips who coached at UMass with Norwood, and getting closer to home.

Sooooo it is hard to look past the commit, decommit, commit, decommit, commit, transfer, leave program; but I don't think it is as bad as it seems. The guy hasn't played football in 15 months, who knows what is going through his head.

https://tennessee.rivals.com/news/joseph...d-for-mtsu

https://247sports.com/college/massachuse...136115111/

I did find this little nugget too. "During this recruiting cycle, I [Greg Madia] spoke to or at least exchanges messages with all 14 of JMU’s signees. Of the 14, Norwood was the only one hesitant to do an interview and actually, respectfully denied the request. He said though he was honored about a possible story, that he preferred to wait until he performed on the field with the Dukes."

I saw this post and still don't get it?

Different position then Latrelle.

Is there something negative about Latrelle that is similar to Quincy?

What is meant by "a Latrelle Palmer"?

The point is/was that he is primarily a big bodied, rushing, bull-dozing type QB who struggles to throw the ball. Personally, I'm content letting Palmer handle those duties. I think he's thrown for approximately 350 yards in 13 or so games at a 40% completion rate. I'm just not a fan, that's all. I don't mind dual threat QB's at all. Just seems to me in the opportunities he's had at Tech, "dual" may be a stretch.

Hard to tell exactly what he can do in that unimaginative Tech offense in where he thrown the ball 52 times in 3 seasons. And the first of 3 he was a freshman and ended up as a redshirt after throwing 5 passes. In my opinion the sample size and in game opportunities isn't large enough to write him off as a non-throwing QB.

Fuentes has underwhelmed and failed to find a QB or develop a QB.

Being from Chicago, who knows he may just end up in the MVC.

On the other hand this isn't a Tech football message board, so speculating on if Quincy Patterson II can or cannot throw the ball at a DI level has been a exercise in how to waste a couple of minutes of my life.

Got it. I've not seen him play, but apparently he was highly touted. I'm not that excited about any of our current QBs. They may work, but time will tell.

RE: 2021 Football Recruiting
McKenzie Milton from UCF is also entering the transfer portal. He was looking like a likely early NFL pick until he sustained a terrible knee injury (not going to go into details, but amputation was an option). Apparently he's been running scout team stuff at UCF this year, but wants to go somewhere to start since UCF has an entrenched starter now. I don't think he'd be coming to JMU, but if he can't get a starting shot somewhere else? Hey, why not?

Might be good for all parties involved...

That reminds me of the Stony Brook RB Stacey Bedell that decommitted from us for UMass, then ended up at SB. When we finally played him on the field, he was their star RB and our defense more than held him in check.

2014 regular season game - 14 carries for 49 yards.
2017 playoff game - 11 carries for 59 yards.

No TDs in either game.
