FCS Recruiting Classes

[Tribe4SF]

Low 4.5's are still pretty decent speed, but yeah, It'd be nice if e were running in the 4.4's.

40 times are nothing but a crock unless they're electronically timed. Seems like half the recruits in the country run a supposed 4.5. Fewer than half the WRs at the combine clocked 40s below 4.5, and that after specialized training for the event.

Here is YSU fans Paladin's MVFC Outlook... Just to put things into context: Until last year, he never had YSU as the top class in the MVFC. He used to throw us in the bottom third due to Heacock's lack of recruiting abilities. In year 1 of Wolford he had them in the top 3, but the past two years of Wolford, he has had YSU at #1 in the class. So yes, it may come across as biased, but as much as Paladin get's on my nerves, he is usually pretty accurate when it comes to judging football talent.

1. Youngstown State: For the second straight year I'm calling YSU with the best recruiting class in the MVFC (last year was the first time ever for the program), and I might add it wasn't close. Total domination. However, lots of similar happenings -- most teams went heavy for OL and also DL. Florida and California were favorite spots. The most shocking was the dropoff in transfers and Jucos.

Tie 2. Southern Illinois: SIU had a nice class of 26 ( 20 Frosh, 3 transfers, 3 Jucos) in cluding 2 Big 10 RB transfers and a LB transfer from Washington. The Indiana transfer is from Middletown, Oh. and the Iowa transfer looks good too. Some size and some good H.S. programs.

Tie 2. Northern Iowa: UNI came in with 22 ( 20 Frosh , 2 Jucos) The Juco RB looks good and they picked up a QB from Florida who looks good. They also added a 4.4/40 WR who set pass records. Good H.S. programs.To digress, the laugh this year is that UNI and NDSU appear to fighting each other for recruits as each lost out to the other for recruits. They are complaining loudly about this. This may play well to our advantage.

4. Western Illinois: They added 21 which included a transfer from E. Mich ( 6'3, 230, LB) and four solid players from Flodida, including the MVP from the two time state champ team ( Glades Day).

5. North Dakota State: They had 17 Frosh, no Jucos. Went for 4 OL and had solid Frosh at a LB ( 6'2, 230) and a nice looking DL. Good programs but thought they slipped.

6. South Dakota State: Disappointing at 6th , but they added 21 ( 18 Frosh & 3 Jucos). Several of the players were from California, including a big, record setting WR. Overall, unimpressive .

Rest of League: The rest of the league sucked. YSU wins by virtue of the quality ,numbers, the number of outstanding Florida players, the biggest OLs recruited in the MVFC,the best Jucos and players with All state honors from solid football states.Also videos were available to preview at most ahtletic depts.. It wasn't close.

The guy that Northern Iowa snatched was Logan Cunningham 5-11 180 I hope he gains some size while he's there to go along with that 4.4 home run speed.Hope he runs track while he's their.

Yes especially the QB's Fisher at 6-6 245 Birdsong 6-4 220 I see your school snatched a guy from my backyard (NJ)John Barillo.What type of offense does JMU run?

[Purple Reign]

JMU runs a spread running attack , with a lot of zone read blocking.I really like our three QBs and Rhakeem Stallings and Gage Steele .Wilson and Till, transfered from Maryland, will help our defense. I don`t know much about John Barillo, can you tell me anything about him? Thanks.

They need to mix in some passing with these two guys they are bringing at the QB position.
