Any word as to how recruiting is going? I've been keeping an eye on Scott's document, but wondered if there were any new updates/names lately.

Yea, couple of new offers out to guys in the Kansas City area including a real solid-looking LB...that's been in the last few days. I also went through and updated any new offers or verbal commits from the guys we've had on the list. I'd imagine the coaches are out hitting the recruiting trail pretty hard right now with the early signing period coming in a couple of weeks.

TJ is a great player. He and Tristan were at a Metro Combine together. It would be great if they could both get to Western. And do some recruiting as well. There is a TON of 2018 talent in the KC area.

Congrats to TJ and your family welcome to the Leatherneck family I think he will really like coach Fisher.

Good news and bad news. Good news... Leathernecks get a commit from a HUGE OL. Bad news... Looks like Coach Elliott is growing that beard again! LOL

I just saw that...T.J. also had an offer from Central Arkansas.
As of right now, we've got 10 verbal commitments from some great kids, and still quite a bit of interest from a lot of others.
I've updated the spreadsheet with Mr. Kennedy's verbal commitment, so you can see where we stand on things: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing
