Re: Duquesne recruiting class
Both Duquesne and Robert Morris announced their recruiting classes today. http://www.rmucolonials.com/ViewArticle ... =204899583UAalum72 wrote:Dukes press release (a month after everybody else).
(It must be something in the water in Pittsburgh!)
Actually, Duquesne is just getting used to the whole football scholarship thing. Also, some Duquesne recruiting got delayed by the turnover in the defensive staff (Dave Opfar, the ex-Head Coach at St. Francis is the new Defensive Coordinator.)
Duquesne wanted to make sure that they announced all of the signers of the National Letter of Intent at the same time. The Dukes were still hosting official visits right up until the Dead Period before the signing period started. That delayed some of the signings until after "Signing Day". When the snow storm closed the campus for a week right after "Signing Day", the preparation of the NLI paperwork was delayed even more. While Duquesne has announced around this time the past couple of years, I suspect that their announcement date will move up as time goes on.
