Gotta think it'll be heavy on Midwest guys, not just from Toledo. Might be some young up and comers at tOSU, oops I mean Ohio State University, also the cream of the MAC crop. The MAC guys are all used to doing more with less and then trying to beat the heck out of each other. Really hope Sammis has a place, but I'm sure he'll be ok. Really think he's going to be a good HC somewhere in the not too distant future.

I think we should keep an eye on his guy Ross Watson - I believe he was CO- DC and handled Safeties
