After last nights performance in my opinion this is a no brainer. Take into account his coaches have left, his QB is graduating, it will be a whole new system, his team has peaked and gone as far as it can go, there is nothing left for him at CMU. With all of these factors and his performance throughout the season his value will never be higher.

He's correct in testing the waters, but nothing could be further from the truth than saying it will be "a whole new system." We will keep the up-tempo, spread offense, and if you haven't seen "Rif" throw the ball, well, believe me, as Nick Bellore said, it's a howitzer! AB's decision will be contingent on what team's needs are at the present. He could bump that with another year at CMU. He has indicated that if Stripling is name HC, he may stay. We should know by next week. In any event, CMU is not going to be lacking in talent. Granted, and logically, NIU and Toledo should be favorites, but we've had some excellent recruiting classes as of late, and as you saw last night, never, never discount THE FIGHTING CHIPPEWAS! BTW, I really like Chandler Harnish. Great kid. Loads of potential. I wish we had him. Wouldn't miss a beat.

He's entering the draft, at least:

Nothing said about whether or not he's signing with an agent.

Good luck to Antonio. It was great having him here for 3 years.

I think this probably points to the fact that Stripling doesn't get the HC job and that Heeke is looking in a different direction.

Wouldn't mind Stripling sticking around though on the new staff as maybe Defensive Co-Ordinator and taking over for Banks....
