We have 8 known verbals and apparently 2 silent verbals. There are also a few recruits who have said positive things about EMU. A few have listed 3 or 4 finalists with EMU being one.

1. Devin Nicholson. May be a commit. Not sure. LB Cass Tech.

2. Will Philips. Had a very strong OV. Sounds like he is close to joining other recruits from OK. Would give us 2 RB commits from OK.

3. William Racely. Kind of flown under the radar because of all of the talk about the OK recruits. OL from MI. We are one of his 3 finalists.

4. Peyton Thompson. Has been under the radar. Presumed he visited last week. QB and teammate of Boone at Tulsa Union.

5. Jeff Foreman. ATH also from OK. Had a 'Great visit' in his words.

6. Simon Dellinger. Big, rangy TE from IN. We are a finalist along with the 3 service academies.

7. Dayton Wade. WR / ATH. Ga. One of the visitors last week.

8.

Racely would be a nice commit. Right up the road in Flushing. Need to beat the NIU's and BG's for these type of Michigan kids.

Just bumping up this post.

We have now picked up #1 and #3 on this list.

I'm still fascinated by possibly picking up Foreman, Philips and Thompson from OK, all three offensive players which is where most of the recruiting is now.

I can still see a 20-man class with 10 - 12 out-of-state h.s. players, 4 MI h.s. players and say 5 - 6 JUCOs, 3 or 4 being mid-year.
