Love it. I would take every kid with a Navy offer to be honest. High character, under recruited kids that a top 25 team wants. If I was a recruiter I would just hawk their offer list and find the kids that aren't too jazzed on also committing to the armed forces. Excited to see what Hopkins can do at RB next year, he had a Navy offer among others.

Sorry for the tangent, congrats Garrison! Hopefully the first commit of many in the Edsall part 2 era that we are thrilled to have!

eh the academies don't have a scholarship limit so they throw out offers like they're candy.

Did not know that. Well it can still be used as a character test, and hopefully we have the guys on staff now to evaluate the talent aspect.

We are in the WEIRD season.

We are a FBS AAC program with 10 scholarships to fill for August ... and lots of opportunities. New coaching staff: some with JuCo experience. I expect the Maryland idea has merit. But also lots of connectivity across the northeast and the 9 incoming coaches. We will find oddball entrants to our roster like no other year since 1998.
 
Does anyone have thoughts or impressions on the two verbals we just received?

Some recruiting perspective as Championship Sunday is about to kickoff.....

I don't really believe that. Brady went to Michigan as a two star? Ryan to BC as a 2 star? Rodgers to Cal as a 2 star? Ben I can believe went to Ohio as a 2 star.

EDIT. There were no stars when Brady was recruited. Baseball hurt his recruitment since he was a star catcher. But he had offers fromUSC, UCLA and Cal. Still there is something to this. Shows that the 3 stars are key.
Super Bowl 49: Not one starter was a 5-star recruit out of high school

Did you watch the video or read the story???
Brady 2*
Big Ben 3*
Ryan 3* (UConn offer)
Rodgers 2* (5'10, 165 -- coming out of high school)

I think the point they're making is that ALL four weren't highly regarded coming out of high school. Brady became a great QB, after he left Michigan. It's not like he lit it up in college.
 
The vast majority of players are 2 stars because the rating services don't have enough resources to accuarely rate all 10,000+ high school seniors.

Brady was barely a full time starter at any point at Michigan and was drafted 199 Overall. It is not out of the realm of possibility that Lloyd Carr made a mistake and was pressured to force Drew Hensen into action.

Guessing Rhule has Saulin in this weekend for a visit.

From the Rhule-Saulin picture, the NYC-born and State College, PA-raised Rhule may have purchased his first pair of cowboy boots. Fish out of water or Martian crash landing on earth, looks like Rhule's working hard on fitting in to Wacky Waco. For Saulin or most Joisey or northeastern kids, talk about culture shock waiting to happen in one bizarro town!

I wonder if we are looking at Gerrik Vollmer, a 6'5'' 280lbs OLineman from Taft. I believe his teammate Elliott Brown is visiting this weekend. Vollmer decommitted from Louisville in December. In the past couple days he has picked up offers from UMass, Buffalo and coaches from Temple visited.
