2012 FAU Football Commit List
It's hard to imagine a scenario where German isn't our signal caller in the fall, the guy is so legit. Flessner, Kane and Curtis round out the backups and hopefully Bracewell lands somewhere.

They DEFINITELY keep their schollys for the spring semester, they'll get a shot, but don't really have a chance on getting the job (kooi and wilbert that is)
Yep, that's what I'm saying.
Wilbert and Kooi are RS JRs, so if they transfer to another Div.1 school they sit out a year and get two years. If they transfer to Div.2, there's no wait and they get two years (if I remember correctly). There may be a Div.2 school that would take them. If so, that's their best bet at this point for playing time. But their throwing is so poor, it's hard for me to envision them transferring and becoming starters somewhere else. That's why I'm saying it probably wouldn't be worth it to transfer. The good news is that at this point they've been here almost four years. They have to be close to finishing a degree. You play football to get a degree, yes, but they all usually have dreams of being in the NFL. Realistically if they can't cut it as a starter for FAU, they're probably not NFL material, right? So might as well just focus on finishing the degree and getting a job like the rest of us. No shame in that.

By the way, what other schools offered German?
He himself is reported to have claimed both SEC and ACC offers, although no scouting services I could find confirm that.
However, when you have qualification issues you aren't going to necessarily get one officially either.
It's a "if it works out we have on for you" type of thing.
But, here is the kicker with this guy:
"Junior college All-American and lead the nation in passing with over 2,700 yards."
Can't argue with that hard stat, and must have been doing something right.

Re: 2012 FAU Football Commit List
The funny things is, while FAU is not exactly known for its stellar academics, we do in fact have the highest in-state requirements. (GPA 2.6 and SAT 1390)
A minimum does NOT reflect a school's median scores at all.
So a player could be ineligible for us but eligible for Florida, if that makes sense.
Let me know if I am making sense….. hahah :D
Regardless, HUGE get for us. With a guy like him, you do not even need a good offensive line, even though we have recruited two JUCO players who really look like they can play.
Tops of the Sun Belt in 2012/13?????

This one is flying under the radar with German's announcement, but this is a good grab. Originally committed to Minnesota back in June, but decided to de-pledge in December.
This will be the 3rd LB we have got from Miami Central in the past 2 years. We all know how Andre Kirk fared his freshman season, and would hope from similar results from Ballesteros.
I like this. Building connections with a top high school program.

German and Grimes both became 3-star players today. Not sure how that works, but we can now say we have 5 Rivals 3-star recruits…
I'm really confused, I thought they don't give stars to Juco Transfers? Why doesn't Glanton have any stars yet?
My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!
