Seems like a need is there. I would have to believe there is going to be some defections. I would say that for sure Reese and Floriea who are going to be seniors will not be seeing playing time - and raises the question of whether they are extended scholarships for their senior year. I don't like that as a possibility, but I suppose it could happen.

I just don't know what to make of Eli Peters since he did not see the field at all this year. When you have around 125 D1 schools and you get a #45 ranking like Peters did, that is pretty solid. I believe he ended up at Toledo after going to Illinois because we had been recruiting him all along. I would think if things are not going well in Spring practice, he will be gone to a place where he can play - maybe down to D2 so he doesn't lose another year of eligibility. If he is involved in a battle for the starting job, that would be a very good sign.

I don't know much at all about Martin, but also decent ranking coming out of high school. You just never know how well guys are going to progress when they get to D1 competition. Didn't Guadagni play D1 in high school? What about Martin - don't even know where he is from. I seem to remember Guadagni taking his team pretty deep into the play-offs and was THE guy on the team that was difficult to contain - either throwing or running.

Floriea is not on scholarship. I don't think Candle had any intentions of taking a second QB in this class until Bradley became available late. Martin is from Fort Recovery,OH.

Martin passed for almost 6,000 yds and 54 TDs in HS. He was MVP of the State Championship game as a Jr.
