Obviously he's really excited about the class no coach is ever going to say there disappointed with a class but it sounds like we got some really good kids he's really high on anderson kid.
Best wings I've ever had typically I'm not a big fan of bone in wings.GV Dad wrote: ↑Wed Feb 07, 2018 8:15 pmHow were the wings?leatherneckcountry wrote: ↑Wed Feb 07, 2018 6:00 pm Went to the gathering at sports corner sat with coach stockton the hole time he even bought us wings.

I would’t say that...we didn’t lose him to UNI...we chose not to sign him. This staff isn’t going to play games with kids. They have to want to be Leathernecks! The class we just signed is an outstanding class and the kids are super and they want to be at Western Illinois at represent our university on the football field!
Like I said on the other post it would have been nice getting him but we are already pretty deep at RB he was the only guy that we put an offer out for as a RB. He doesn't fit as a typical UNI back they usually like big physical RB'sLeatherneck57 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 08, 2018 6:44 amI would’t say that...we didn’t lose him to UNI...we chose not to sign him.

Besides he weighs a buck fifty and I didn’t see him carrying the rock anyway with all the talent we have at RB. He’s pretty small and will most likely get frustrated at UNI and playing for that coaching staff!
Just so we're clear, did he have an offer from WIU at the time he signed with UNI? My understanding was that he did, if I'm wrong, that's fine. If I'm correct, your statement above is not truthful -- spinzone at best.Leatherneck57 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 08, 2018 6:44 am

My take would be "possibly spin, possibly not". We had an offer out to him, true, but for whatever reason he decided to re-open his recruitment. Maybe after that we didn't pursue him very hard? Maybe he wanted to play right away instead of red-shirting so we didn't chase him? I honestly don't know. However, I do know he was just a verbal commit - and for whatever reason he changed his mind. Maybe we were OK with that. If so, I don't see how we "lost" him.LocalYokelFan wrote: ↑Thu Feb 08, 2018 8:57 amJust so we're clear, did he have an offer from WIU at the time he signed with UNI?
