RE: Mike is our New Eagle QB recruit
I found this:
"Michael Simpson, Trotwood-Madison, 6-3, 205 - The Division II Ohio Offensive Player of the Year helped lift the Rams to a state championship as he passed for 2,626 yards and 30 TD's. He also rushed for 55 yards and two additional scores."
Rivals has about 9 or 10 schools, most BCS, who had shown interest in him.
Not possible to tell who else offered although Scout.com shows NIU and two I-AA schools.

Coach English proves once again that he is in complete control. While everyone was fretting about not getting a QB, he comes up with the best possible scenario. Great pickup!

ESPN still shows him as being committed to Eastern Kentucky.
I'm sure they're just slow at getting things updated though.

Well we got our "Mike" huh?
Sorry, I had to throw this in as a joke for the amount of time we spent on "Mike Baker" threads. (smile)

RE: Mike is our New Eagle QB recruit
The Dayton Daily News article, Simpson's Scout.com profile, and a working link to his senior year YouTube video have now been posted on the Facebook page. Just FYI. In watching the video I was quite impressed.
YouTube- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86Ayy8nMB...e=youtu.be
BTW - What is it with our connection to Trotwood-Madison HS? We have had several players from there in recent years.

RE: Mike is our New Eagle QB recruit
So when English said in his video discussing signing day he mentioned that he wasn't recruiting a QB by design? I guess he was bluffing. I wouldn't want to play poker with him. :0)
I'm glad we got a quality recruit at QB. We've gotten a lot of players from the Dayton Cincy area in the past.

Last I heard (and I've been out of FB recruiting mode for over a month) is that he was going to Fresno City C.C.
I'll Google "Mike B*ker" and probably won't find much...

I believe Marcus English was from Trotwood, Trotwood usually has several Div I players each year, its a solid program.

I believe, and maybe NuPudge, can confirm, but I think English has a scholarship set aside for Brown, if he gets his test score, and another for Alex Hook, ditto, and had another for a DL, which 'apparently ain't going to happen.'
I assume that English used that free scholarship for a QB.
