  1. 6'2" 230 lb linebacker for Hutchinson CC, one of the top JUCOs in the country. Has a star studded offer list including Cincinnati, Washington, Miami (FL), and now us. Originally from Louisiana, where he had signed to play for Memphis. We did offer him out of high school and were recruiting him (also offered him then). Plans on enrolling in the spring semester.

    Claude George mention in a GMG thread when we were recruiting him out of high school:

  2. 6'0" 180 lb safety out of Ridge Point. Has a very impressive offer list including schools like Arizona State, Utah, Colorado, Indiana, Maryland, Kentucky, etc. Interesting to note that his lead recruiter at Indiana is Noah Joseph. We offered today, along with Louisiana Tech. Father Jameel Cook Sr. played in the NFL for the Bucs and Texans.

  3. Puts a huge dent in our hopes of selling this game out. 11 am is not going to look appealing to the causal fan.

    May have been the only time we could've been on FS1.

    SN: Another downside to playing 11 am on a Saturday, as it pertains to recruiting, is that most high school players are busy watching film. Not trying to be too nitpicky, just a minor detail.

  4. 6'2" 200 lb linebacker. Had 126 tackles last year, along with 31 tackles for loss and 6 sacks. Has picked up 8 crystal ball predictions in the last month for Baylor, so he appears to be theirs to lose. Also has offers from New Mexico, SMU, Texas State, Duke, Tulsa, and us.

  5. Hopefully we are recruiting him to play DT, if he has the talent.

    He's listed as an offensive lineman by the recruiting websites, but I think he could be a legitimate D1 prospect at defensive line. I really like his defensive film. Gets off the ball great and knows how to use his hands. It can be hard to showcase your skills as a nose guard. Constantly taking one for the team getting double teamed nearly every play, knowing your job is to free someone else up to make the tackle. But we'll see where our coaches want him.
  6. 5'11" 175 lb athlete. Could play receiver or safety in college. May also play qb this year for Marcus, as he did as a sophomore. Also holds offers from Air Force, Eastern Michigan, and SMU.

  7. Division 1AA ("FCS") has 24 teams in its tournament. DII has 24 teams. I fail to see why 1A couldn't at least do 16.

    It's also a very new phenomenon that any team would play 13 games before a bowl game. Until very recently, all teams played 11 games and there were no conference championship games. It wouldn't be tough to do a 16-team playoff and keep the champion to 16 games or less.

    Because those divisions have 11 game schedules. Which usually puts the champion at 15 games. Which is likely what the FBS champion will play this year.

    I know 12 game schedules and championship games are relatively new, but they are fixtures at this point. All the P5 conferences but the Big 12 have conf championship games, and they used to and likely will expand to 12 again soon to have one of their own again. More than 3 rounds would put the champion at 17 games played. That's just too much IMO and unnecessary. Again, that's my opinion.

  8. Want to know how often they would have made it? How often does one make it to a BCS bowl? That's how often a G5 team could make it if they moved from 4 to 8 teams. Utah in 2008 I believe would have been in, NIU if a playoff berth was on the line they would not have dropped the ball against Bowling Green, Boise in 2004, 2006, and 2008 could have made it, UCF this past year could have made it in, Louisville in 2006 and 2012 had a good case, WVU had a good case in 2005, Hawaii in 2007 had a case, etc. There are more out there and there are more than you think. Granted most of these, if any, would have made it to the 4 team playoff bc of SOS. But most of these and more would have held a good argument if it was 8 team playoff.

    But those teams weren't top 8. I agree. I think they should be in the top 8 if they go undefeated and beat two decent out of conference opponents. I think the system would potentially allow for that to happen (for undefeated, proven G5 teams to make it in the 8-team playoff).

    Also, the Louisville and WVU teams you mentioned we're in AQ conferences.
