There's a few more from the Bay area that would look really good in Midnight Blue and Gold.

Nice publicity from the local paper...I'm loving the Tampa pipeline (or Florida Drip) to Toledo!

Maybe the Tampa paper sports staff should do all the articles for the Blah. The Rockets get better coverage in Tampa.

Brief Akron Beacon Journal article on Nate Bauer committing to the Rockets. Says he's being recruited to play safety.

interesting, indiana just got a verbal from a 4 star RB from Virginia.

Indiana is recruiting Tampa heavily...especially Plant HS, where the son of IU's HC played last year. They had 3 Plant kids (1 a USC Commit that flipped) from the 2017 class and have an LB from Plant's 2018 class committed for this year.

I noticed that the LB'er was a Hoosier commit.

UT is recruiting RB Demarcus Townsend hard out of FL and Jerome Ford from Seffner APB

Townsend is scheduled for a visit to UT

Also in the running for Kristian Pechac.

HC son played LB at Plant last year as well...obviously, he followed his Dad to IU...and brought 2 highly rated players with him. Rumor had it that Whop Philyor (WR) was very interested in UT...Oh Well. Plant has some talent once again... 4 star JR OL that apparently has tOSU high on his list I'm not sure how my son is going to pan out...he's a soph...playing FS on JV...think baseball is going to win out...played Varsity as a FR...UT could definitely use some baseball players.

Jerome Ford plays at Armwood...another power in the Tampa area. Their other back is a tOSU commit. Ford has some serious offers...Alabama being one...Have a feeling USF is going to start locking down the local talent here that isn't headed to major P5 schools...Charlie Strong will do well there.

Headed to Central Catholic HS tonight to watch the big matchup against Detroit King. King features DE Maurice White who is a Toledo commit, along with 5 other players with FBS offers.

**Toledo Prepares for Massive Recruiting Weekend vs. Tulsa -
Toledo will have several top targets and commits on campus Saturday for their game against Tulsa.

Hoping for a sell out to impress all these recruits, think it's possible? Supposed to be high of 81 & sunny on a Saturday night, can't ask for anything better than that.

Where's Irma?

Should be a most entertaining game. I'm sure our players will represent themselves well to the recruits.

If Coach Candle is recruiting kickers

And a minor point about the story's first sentence (which I suppose might be edited soon). Sinking a field goal? In football?

As anybody who hangs out here knows, I write my share of dumb things (maybe more than my share). But I don't think I've ever seen that.

Not a big deal, though. And I think it's a good story.

Explosive off the edge.

Noticed his Twitter page says "UT Commit (But open to other schools)"...sounds really committed to us.

#Toledo received a big commitment tonight from Chicago Phillips LB Terrance Taylor. Story w/ @AllenTrieu analysis: https://247sports.com/college/toledo/Art...-109612111

Another one! OT Nick Carey out of Detroit Catholic Central has committed to Toledo. 6'7" 290 lbs. Held offers from a bevy of MAC schools, as well as Iowa State, Marshall, UCF, Virginia, and a handful of Ivy League schools.

Hope we hold onto them!

UT HAS HELD SCHOLARSHIPS OPEN THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS WAITING FOR A HIGH LEVEL OT AND EVEN WITH 5 OL COMMITS THEY STILL WENT AFTER CAREY!!!!! That's all I need to know ? This kid is severely under-rated and UT just got a STEAL!!!

Kids HUDL video speaks for itself
