Impressive. Is this a new approach for Bobby Mo? Prior to the last 2 years, I didn't remeber seeing so many Jucos/transfers.

How did you guys do with the HS rercuits?

I think because we lost 2 LBs and 4 DBs the coaches needed to bring in some players that are a little seasoned and ready to hit the field come spring ball. RMU has brought in a few jucos here and there but this on paper seems to be perhaps the best in recent years.
Here is a rough list of some 'possible' HS signees: (I expect something to be released tomorrow AM)
Ryan Bounds. 5-11, 185. RB/WR. Cleveland Heights High School, Cleveland, Ohio.
Matthew Layman. 6-1, 160. QB. Hilton Head Prep, South Carolina
Danny Duvall. 6-0, 190. WR/DB. Hubbard High, Hubbard, Ohio.
Ryan Thermill. 5’11″, 235. LB
Keith O’Kelly. 5’10″ 160. ATH
Wayne Graves. 6’1″ 185. SS
Kyle McWreath. 6’1″ 217. LB
Nick Faraci. 6'3" 285. OL
Julien Anderson 6'1" 185. ATH
