Maybe the board can come up with some good questions.

Here are some I've come up with:

1). You only signed 21 recruits. Are there additional players who may sign or are additional scholarships reserved for others?

2). What other players, e.g., transfers, grayshirts, etc. do you have and will they be given a scholarship?

3). You signed 2 defensive line recruits and none for the offensive line. Will you have enough depth on both lines?

4). On the boards there has been much positive comments about redshirts and transfer sitouts, could you discuss this group of newcomers?

5). Do you feel this class addresses the needs for immediate help at certain key positions?

Perhaps the biggest question is...

What are your thoughts on the current budget situation and how it may impact the football program?

Also on top of the other recruiting info, I would ask about some walk on players that are going to be joining in the fall. I would also think about asking what type of promotions or ideas the athletic dept. has to get more butts in the seats for the up-coming season. Although, that might be a better question for the AD.

If the team plays well, the butts in seat situation should take care of itself.

There seems to be very significant amount of latent interest in EMU FB simply awaiting a winning season.

How about another Q:

Any changes planned in offensive or defensive formations (e.g., 2-back sets on offense, maybe 5 DBs on defense, 3 - 4 defense)?

Yeah, apparently university budgets will take another big, big hit.

Pretty soon we won't be able to tell the difference between a public and private university based on funding.

What is the status of Marrow both as a student at EMU and as a player for the team this spring and fall? That is a question I want to see asked of Coach English.

What time is this and where can we listen/watch?????

Agree, but it is probably best asked as a sub question, e.g.,

"What can you say about your transfers, including Mike Marrow, and redshirt frosh?"

The chat site is open for questions...
