Two JUCOs WRs + one JUCO DT.
The silver lining is that it's likely emu is targeting high school kids that are higher-ranked with more options to choose from and not offering kids that they are sure to get because emu is the only offer.
Ask for a walk ons I don't know that emu is bringing in any more than usual. It may just be that everybody puts their stuff on Twitter now so that they get their glory moment. I think schools encourage this bye taking all those cute pictures of them in a uniform.
'Nickle, you make a few interesting points:
1). Schools can not release stuff on kids who have not yet signed, but as you indicate the KID or his family can say whatever he wants on social media, forums, etc. That has made information on recruiting more 'from the horse's mouth' these days and less speculation.
2). We might be getting better PWO as the quality of our scholarship recruits also get better.
All in all, much better than 25 years ago when I had to follow lists, all this and that teams from the Detroit News, Free Press, Mlive, etc.
And with Hudl I won't post some QB from a 7-man FB team is the next John Elway because he was all-league, all-county, all-state (in a state with more cattle than people), put up gaudy numbers, etc. Now we can watch Hudl and we have posters who know the game and can evaluate prospects well.
And think of boys basketball: A kid averaged 28 ppg but played against kids who were short, slow, etc. How good is he? How would he fare in Detroit PSL?
