You nailed it! Completely agree! Will Futhey is my wish list WR/TE! 6'5" 220 pounds, was 1st team all state in Ohio, his junior, and senior seasons! Have seen him play, incredible talent, there was an article in the Columbus newspaper about A month ago, that states he has NFL ability! We're on his short list! The Reynoldsburg QB Dijon, would be my dream QB recruit, has probably 20 offers though! We need 3 DT, DE, and LB! We're losing many DT, DE players!

If we do take a quarterback in this class keep your eye on Cam'Ron McCoy 6'2 190 a high school prospect out of Missouri. He has us Cindy and UT Martin as his top 3 picks.

If we do, I'm worried. I count 5 QBs, 4 of whom are scholarship (Bryant, Hutch, May and Smith).

I doubt we need another unless we fear one is leaving.

I agree. The coaching staff is probably on top of this.

Cam'Ron McCoy is,also a baseball player. Might he come to EMU on a baseball scholarship and play both sports?

Best I can tell, that 247 sports info is as stale as a week old slice of bread.

Usually, where there is smoke there is fire, I don't see the smoke here.

Usually our friend, Tweeter, gives us definite clues as to what is happening. I have been getting my info from Tweeter as recruits love to tweet. To me, "no tweets, no action."

Last Tweet of note was July 20. Pretty stale.

P.S. guys, don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure out recruiting in the age of Twitter. Just follow a few EMU staffers involved in recruiting and the recruits will TELL YOU what's up...

Players and their parents love to share the good news of offers, official visits, etc.

Twitter is real time. 247 sports info can be current, OR can be as stale as... I think the 247 info for this Mo. QB might be say 3 or 4 months old.

EDIT: This is FWIW. I found by doing a Google search. Is it accurate? IDK.


Bearcats add two sport star Cam'Ron McCoy to 2021 classhttps://thefrontofficenews.com › 2021/08/04 › late-addi...
Aug 4, 2021 — Breaking news the Cincinnati Bearcats have received a commitment from two sport star Cam'Ron McCoy. McCoy will play football and baseball ...

Once again, this information is 4 months old... Take it with a grain of salt, if one wants.

If this info is correct, he re-classified to the 2021 class and committed to Cincy. Is this he? https://twitter.com/camRonmccoy2/status/...18/photo/4

Aaron Alexander de-commited today from UofM. His recruitment is weird, P5 power, G5, and FCS.

https://247sports.com/Recruitment/Aaron-...Interests/

I wouldn't hazard a guess where he'll end up. Could stay in the Midwest. Do something out of the box like Jackson State. Join a teammate at Arkansas. Who knows...

I assume he'll go P5 but not UofM, MSU, OSU, etc.

Sounds like Michigan pulled their offer. Maybe he was one of their plan B recruits and plan A wound up signing.

I think they flipped a few and told him to wait until Feb and he got to the message.

Commit from Fordham WR Hamze El-Zayat

Real good pick up by EMU. He is an honor roll guy, local guy and had a really good Junior yr. Senior yr seemed ok but mostly quiet according to his stats. He will join a very talented group in Brydoun, Tanner, Westmoreland, Drummond. I think this is a really good insurance piece should one of the returning guys bail. This HAS to be the most talented unit of receivers returning in the MAC.

From his bio he's probably a grad transfer with 1 yr of eligibility. My assumption is that he's a friend of Hass and that why he's coming to Ypsi.

Looks like another possession receiver. That's OK but EMU still needs a burner...or at least use the speed guys they already have.

Only with circular reasoning. One reason we don't have a good ground game is that we don't have WRs who block to make it effective. It's schematic. We recruit WRs, primarily, for the short passing game, but 5' 10" WRs aren't great blockers.

i mean i think CC incorporates a lot of west coast concepts and uses the short pass to set up the deep pass

Gee I guess all of my posts about taking a QB in this class weren't such conjecture after all.
