[BDKJMU]

FWIW (not much but its the offseason), got to talk about something..

FCS RECRUITING: Top 25 Quarterback Signees Which FCS programs nabbed the top quarterback?
We map out the top 25 QB additions...
..Quarterback rankings on the next page are based on a mixture of data including the 247Sports.com composite ranking, other recruiting services, the scholarship offers extended to the FCS prospects and also the opinions of HERO Sports' FCS recruiting analyst Brian McLaughlin.

Very happy with our class ... touched on every need with quality as well as high academic performers. IMO, this is one of our best since bringing football back. Solid group of preferred walk-ons as well.

Teams who choose not to compete in the playoffs should be omitted from lists like this and polls.

Yup. Much to IT, esq. chagrin, the Ivy is NOT competitive with the rest of I-AA until they prove it. They have shown time and time again that they CANNOT compete with the CAA when they infrequently venture out from the Ivy and Patriot. MANY times their champ is undefeated in league play and winless against "others". Their hypocrisy on the playoffs is laughable.

[BDKJMU]

We'll if they also included transfers they would undoubtedly have JMU ahead of Haavard at #1, as JMU has GT's leading rusher from the last 2 sasons, Marcus Marshall, and a 3 star (Rivals) LB from MD transferring in.

As stated before you forgot a name that will be heard of in the future say hello to JEFF TONEY QB of Jackson St 6-6 230 his parents attended this school.I think he will remove Robert Kent and his name as the holder of all school passing records.

[dal4018]

These 4.2 WRs which ones are they you have piqued my interest.

Haven't gotten there names yet...They haven't slown down enough for me to read them.

Thanks George Carlin.

[dal4018]

I'm going to go way out on a SACCAT limb here and proudly proclaim this year's class to be the greatest in the history of college football.

All other classes from any other school need not apply as they are inferior (trust me I've read the bios on every FCS recruit nationwide)

Spoiler: show

it actually is pretty cool that we didn't lose a single commit despite Baldwin leaving

You have the Second best class in the Big Sky...MSU ONCE AGAIN...won this years recruiting battle HANDS DOWN!!! Here is what I see

QB-We picked up 4 of the best I have ever seen, and are only going to use one at QB, because the others are even better at OTHER positions.

RB-Signed RB's that (if they were 2" taller) would be playing for Alabama...No wait...That was our 2 DB's...My bad

O-Line...I have NEVER seen an FCS class (probably not many FBS classes) with more bulk and speed than what we just signed yesterday...We are 6'7" 300+ across the board (and all can run a 4.5 40...from what I heard)

WR...Not one signee runs a slower than 4.2 40 and they have hands like that ugly Philippine Lady/boy that tricked me into getting a Handjo from he/she...Strong, yet with touch.

D-Line...Stole 4 recruits from Big Name FBS schools (yeah...thats right...I am looking at you Fresno State and SJSU)

LB's...Wingspan for DAYS!!!

Safety...They won't really be needed with the amount of Talent in front of them...But you have to field 11 players, so we will.

You have a pro-style QB Tucker Rovig 6'5 205 among the recruits I hope you have pass happy offense at Montana St something he can sink his teeth into for the next 4 yrs???

We will have the pass happiest offense since Bing Crosby Tap-danced with Danny Fuckin Kaye

I hope so wish that ARCHIE COOLEY were the HC he ran the SPREAD OFFENSE while at Mississippi Valley St with Jerry Rice&Willie Totten early 80s.Talk about PASS HAPPY!!!!

Which one of the DBs has the chance to be the next ROBERT ALFORD in your view????

The highest rated as far as the services go is Christion Edwards as a 3-star, but the guy with the best chance of being a Robert Alford/Harlan Miller type is Ferlando Jordan. He's over 6'0 tall, good length, raw speed and cover skills. Our coaches feel like they got a steal. They're high on Marquis Johnson also. We'll see how it goes.

What about the Sexton guy he is 6-3 180 he looks to have potential.By the way what ever happened to DB MIKE SMITH the west coast recruit from a few yrs back 6-3 205 I thought he was definitely NFL material!!!!

Sexton definitely has potential but he's a safety and a JC recruit. I assumed you were asking about HS corner signees.

Mike Smith never qualified.

Do you know where he ended up at he at 6-3 205 had the size Defensive co-ordinators dream about.Needless if he had the grades he would have ended up at a Pac 10 school.

No idea.

What a waist as stated before with his size at 6-3 205 Smith would be playing in the NFL right now.He might have been where Alford is now.

The highest rated as far as the services go is Christion Edwards as a 3-star, but the guy with the best chance of being a Robert Alford/Harlan Miller type is Ferlando Jordan. He's over 6'0 tall, good length, raw speed and cover skills. Our coaches feel like they got a steal. They're high on Marquis Johnson also. We'll see how it goes.

You guys also had a DB named Theo Alexander 6-4 220 was he taken by a NFL squad??? Smith and Alexander would make a formidable DB tandem for somebody on sunday.
