Interesting that some of these tweets say “full ride” when the several of the current players are 50% or less.  Wonder how valued/important thats making them feel…

It’s definitely a thing, but most of the portal players brought in under Hen were being brought in as full rides as well. Another problem with the portal.

All 5 expected signees are completed!  Good group of players considering.  Looking forward to seeing who we get by Feb.  I think we'll see a heavy push for OL and DL.  Probably at least 1 more D1 ready RB.

Not sure where to put this, but does anyone know how many players we are losing due to graduation, eligibility running out, and the like? I know the transfer portal will still be pretty fluid, but do we have an actual number of open spots available? Just curious.

I see Coach Kreczmer put out a tweet looking for JUCO or transfer portal DL to contact him, so that must be a point of emphasis.

Its kinda funny to see Coach Davis comment on the recruits that signed today, most of them he didn't really recruit and probably knows very little about.

Curious to know what people think of today’s signees. Was it a success? Three of the five high school athletes were already committed. Looks like two were brought in by Coach Davis. Did the player from Geneseo have his offer pulled? Anyone know? Appears a couple transfers are coming as well, with one being a RB back from a D2 in Missouri.
