Looks like a great get! Especially since we weren't 'warm' according to 24/7. Missouri and Illinois showed interest. This is great news.

Definitely. Mack makes us tied with Miami for most 3-star recruits, close to Toledo's average for highest in the MAC. BGSU has a lot of commits, so we may stay officially with the #3 class. It's better than last year's, rating-wise. We'll see how they all live up to the ratings!

Sounds like we are all done then, yes?

Looks like another great haul by Lester and Co... Regardless of what you think of Lester and his staff on the field... those guys crush it on the recruiting trail!

This looks to be a great class! Maybe our best ever, on paper.

Check out the size of the guys on D-line...
DE Stiles Moore 6'2" 250
DE Logan Wilson 6'3" 280
DT Eston Miles 6'2" 325

Very excited for our front 7 next year, and for years to come.

I'll do a more in depth breakdown later of our class vs. CMU's...an annual tradition!

RE: Official 2020 recruiting thread
Lester said that they had 20 spots to give and signed 20 this morning, so they are done. If there's attrition between now and February, they'll likely go after some grad transfers instead of signing more freshmen. There will also be no early enrollees.

This class looks very strong. It's obvious that they wanted to stock up on defensive players, especially DBs. They ended up signing 6 defensive backs (Griffin, Piper, Enechukwu, Iraci, Kilburg, Pledger). As far as the other guys marked "athletes", Fletcher will be at LB, Beck is at RB, and Sambucci will be a WR.

When asked about early contributors, Lester mentioned Pledger, Kilburg, Mack and Sambucci as the guys that are physically capable of playing right away. In 2017 he said Jayden Reed and last year he said Skyy Moore, so...he might know what he's talking about.

And now, everyone's favorite part: the WMU vs CMU recruiting battle. In the spirit of competition, I'll break down the results of this cycle. Things can still change up through the signing period in February, but the classes are pretty much set at this point. I look mostly at 247 for information, but I also check Rivals.

WMU - 20 signees, #2 in the MAC, #72 nationally
CMU - 20 signees, #8 in the MAC, #108 nationally

# of signees with P5 offers:
WMU - 9
CMU - 2

# of signees with other FBS offers:
WMU - 16
CMU - 11

Total # of other D1 offers among signing class:
WMU - 147
CMU - 84

Head-to-head:
WMU - 6
CMU - 1

I wonder if Mac will have trouble selling guys and their families to come to his stepping stone and watch him leave as soon as possible...

Above posts are why I don't get too excited on *** rankings. Who made the 2019 MAC championship game from the West? It's more about culture and putting players on the field who can play. The major difference makers on the 2016 Cotton Bowl team were not recruited with three stars next to their names as freshmen. They were developed and matured with time. 2020 will see Lesters four recruiting classes in fall camp. It's go time.

PEDs significantly increase these development times FWIW.

RE: Official 2020 recruiting thread
Central consistently recruits near the bottom of the MAC. Under Bonamego & Enos the results speak for themselves. McElwain was able to snag some great transfers this past season, but looks like recruiting kids from high school to Mt Pleasant an ongoing issue.

Meanwhile, I'm excited about our class. Looks like we rebounded after a 'down' year last year to finish up at the top of the MAC. Hopefully everyone sticks around. Right now trending 9th overall G5 which is pretty impressive.

Also on GR radio they were saying how Michigan St's recruiting has dropped abysmally & Western's has risen.

I thought about him as well. Might go down as a very bad decision.

MSU signed 19 guys all 3 stars #42 nationally and #11 in the Big 10. Ooooffff. Not a one 4 star.
