Leatherneck Nation

very early but looks like a great QB to start class of '27 off with.  
 

Saw this article about Heitland and noticed a few odd things with it: https://www.si.com/college/fcs/fcs-foot ... s-football

"The Waukee Northwest High School All-State QB announced his commitment to the Leathernecks on Tuesday, choosing them over Northern Iowa and others."
I don't see that he got an offer from UNI. The article says offers from "Division II Minnesota State, Northwest Missouri State, and the University of Sioux Falls." and said that his HS team made the state semifinals and played at the UNI Dome, but nothing about an offer from UNI.
Also says "He was named an Indiana Football Coaches Association (IFCA) Class 5A First Team All-State selection.", but he's Iowa, not Indiana.

I don't know if it's just AI being stupid or an actual person just not paying attention, but it's pretty annoying.

This QB has great numbers, really good completion %.  Kind of a shorter guy at 6 ft.  Said nice things about Macomb on his visit.  He's a winner.  First team all state.  Nice get for us.  

So am i the only one who cant  go to each sports web page on the athletic site ive tried on both my computers and neither works

pretty highly recruited kid great program.

I saw someone on Twitter said this is a steal for WIU and he that he probably would have been a P4 recruit.
 

Phillip White LB from E St Louis looks good.  Like getting a recruit from there, Bryan Cox was from there.  New recruit Troy Garner decommitted from N Illinois.  We used to beat them.  Coach Davis says we will get Defensive line help before Fall.  Go WIU!
