Thanks. I've updated that on my list as well as added a couple more guys that I've been notified about. An O-lineman from LaSalle-Peru who has verbally committed and another O-lineman from Grundy Center, IA with offers from UNI, ILSU, and SDSU.

I can usually find "The List" but it takes a while.

Suggestion: embed or link the spreadsheet in the first post for each recruiting year and if there is such a thing as a "sticky" POST (documentation says there is), make it sticky. A sticky link to it under Football, Men's Basketball, etc sections would also be nice.
Embrace the pace of the race.

You got it.

Link in bold and larger font at the top of the first post of the thread: http://www.leathernecknation.net/forum/ ... 743#p14743

There's a way to stick a topic (thread) to the top of a forum, but there's not really an easy way to stick a post at the top of a thread (other than manually digging into the mysql and resetting the post date.

I also moved the recruits thread to the football forum, leaving a "shadow copy" in the recruiting forum, so you can get to it from either place.

Trey McJunkin (yeah, that's his real name) is a redshirt freshman QB at Fresno City College (Fresno, CA).

He had pretty good numbers this last season. It looks like he'll be considered a sophomore next year and will likely compete with a few other guys for the starting job after McGuire finishes up.

Updated the spreadsheet with some more info and an offer to a LB at Glenbard South in Glen Ellyn, IL.

Also, if you're curious as to the areas we're doing most of our recruiting, here's that info mapped out: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Nh460 ... sp=sharing
