Some solid recruits signing so far.  I really like the local (within a couple hour drive) kids and the number of OL prospects.  Also some very active LBs.

I noticed that too. Should help with keeping kids around (as in, not transferring out to be closer to home) and with improving attendance somewhat since more family and friends will likely be able to attend home games.

Hopefully a few solid QB options come on board as well.

They're still sending out offers, and there's still kids out there who haven't signed anywhere. I think there's a large group who are waiting for things to settle down with the FBS teams before seeing what their options are.

Great photo from the football alumni Facebook page…

Not exactly sure what year this is (maybe ~6-7 years ago?), but the kid with the blond hair and purple shirt is Jack Duncan who will be on the Leatherneck Baseball team next year, and the kid in the black shirt is Ethan Ladd, the LB PWO commit from Macomb.

Well national signing day (take 2) is here. Anyone know of anyone coming back officially or more FBS transfers in?
