I’m impressed with this interim staff so far. They seem like they can recruit and that’s all while being hampered by having the interim tag.

NIU pulling the extremely rare Ohio player with Harley in charge. It is always MAC schools raiding from IL rather than us ever recruiting Ohio (even though we were in an Ohio heavy conference).

Maybe Ohio kids would like to get away from Ohio lol. If they came here while NIU was in the MAC they would go back a bunch of times.

Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said Ohio was 'a good state' but not 'the best.'

I really like the quality of recruits we have been attracting the last -2- years and the quality looks good for 27. One position that I've been impressed with is LB, quality athletes.

I think we are seeing a shift towards speed. Harley seems to be the one leading that shift.
