I am concerned with all the negative and outlandish attacks of the coaching staff on the other threads. We have a pretty good incoming class based on independent rating. The visceral attacks on the staff will affect this recruiting class. I don't like our record either but we were put here by red pants. this coach is trying to dig us out.

We're frustrated fans.. We love the recruits.. It's just frustrating to see what's happening during games this season. We were hoping for more. Then you have certain things happen (youth and then key coaches bailing pretty much last minute - Dunn) it helps fuel the frustration.
Love this team.. We've got everything in place (academically, facility wise) .. I"m certain we've recruited the right kids too.. Just need to put this thing together.. Show a pulse of some sort...

Ok, kids are great, facilities are great, academics are great; what about team performance. This team was not competitive with Tulane. 2016 both Tulane and UConn were 1-7 in AAC. UConn gave up 245 points in AAC and Tulane 241. Some 2 1/2 seasons later UConn is a non competitive 49 to 7 loser to Tulane.

Where is HCRE2.0's responsibility for this performance? Recruits aren't stupid, why would they want to go to a school where fans are ok with this type of play? Fans expect better, recruits will come to make team better, need a coach that can get them better. If it's HCRE2.0 he sure hasn't shown it to date.

The revolving door for coaches doesn't work and hurts the program with recruits, high school coaches and the overall team. It has to stop sooner than later. He gets this year and next. After that is up to how they play.

It's hard to not get really frustrated with his defensive approach to offense, etc. but you're right that we need some stability going in to the independent status. I like a number of this year's freshmen, and we seem to have some good ones in the next class. Remember, there was a quote from an article recently which said a couple good classes can take you from disaster to respectability............or something like that.

Austin Reeves is a 6’6” 250 lbs OT from Lake Norman High School in Moorseville NC. In August he committed to Elon. It appears we are his first FBS offer. Charlotte, Chattanooga and App St have shown interest among others.

After breaking the state record with a 56-yard field goal, this Connecticut high school kicker is getting some additional college interest

>>Ruelas has provided the Warriors with something few high school football teams in Connecticut have: a consistent field goal kicker. Most teams have someone that can kick an extra point when called upon. Some have a player that can get the ball between the uprights from 20-to-30 yards out. Few have one that can hit from 40-plus.

No one has had a kicker that can drill a field goal from 56 yards out.“He is a weapon,” Robinson said. “With a typical high school kicker, you wouldn’t be able to get those points.”

Since “the kick” last Friday, he’s already had several colleges reach out, including UConn, Central Connecticut, Bowdoin and Merrimack. Colorado showed some interest when he went to one of the school’s camps.

Kicking at the Division I level is his goal. For now, he’s just focusing on kicking for his high school team and maybe breaking his own record.<<

This one is easy if you knew just a smidge about college football. Louisiana & Connecticut.

Ha - in that Littlejohn commitment is Stan Ellis (#40 on your list) who from the same HS committed to App St.

Last year App St pulled in the very athletic (think Cam Ross athletic) Raykwon Anderson who had visited us and for a while seemingly had committed to us.
