I understand there are a few new transfer 5th year eligibles. Believe both are DBS.

Don't know if a DL too.

Dear emu steve,
Do you know where they come from?

Anyone know?

I'd prefer someone else weigh in...

I heard one is from Michigan and the other one is from NC state.. I also heard that we landed a DL but I am not sure where he is from.. Others please feel free to comment on this...

I think the 2 DB's names are Williams and Coleman..

Does anyone a link for checking the EMU directory for new kids that may have transferred into the school? Also when will the new roster with the depth chart come out? I am thinking sometime after summer ball..

I have it at home.

I'll get it tomorrow when I return home.

BTW, I believe they are both players who were not in the two deeps at their former schools.

I believe the schools are UofM and N.C. State.

I assume we'll know more when the revised roster is released.

It appears Coleman will have two years of eligibility left.

Reading between the tea leaves here. I thought we had a signing class of about 24 which would leave us with 1 to give. I don't think frosh Hook DB and Bowen DE worked out grade wise. So those three scholies this year went to our incoming frosh QB and these two 5 year DB backs. Outside of Hook and Bowen I'm not aware of any of the other players who signed in February not showing up.

PS Thanks for the info!

Wow. Mike Williams?

Word out of Ann Arbor last year was that he was quitting football due to lingering post-concussion symptoms.

Guess those have subsided? If he's been cleared by the medical staff, I'm happy to have him at EMU.
