Anyone else notice the physical stature of our line recruits (on both sides of the ball) improving, or is it just me?

Just spoke to Lyons and he has flipped from UTSA.

Will sign with Owls on Wednesday.

Big win.

Very nice.

I don't follow recruiting very much because a very small percentage ever see the field and even fewer become anything special

+1,000,000,000

Seems to me like we are competing with too many lower tier schools for recruits. Why are we not hearing about kids who are also considering UCF, USF, Troy, MTSU, Northern Illinois, Tulane, La. Tech, UAB, etc.?

We should at least be competing with those schools for recruits and not the schools that are still in the process of moving up to 1A.

Truth be told, we are not a good team, but we have everything else in place, location, new stadium, new coach, new conference, etc.

GO OWLS!!!

Well, maybe for certain recruits but for the most part we are.

Austin Bland - offers from Navy, Purdue, Cincinnati.
JonDarius Gardner - ULL.
Robert Relf - Army, New Mexico State.
Andrew Curtis - NIU, Akron
Lester Thomas - WKU

and so on

I don't consider NM State a real school lol

We are Defiantly getting better recruits then years pass I think if you go through you will many of our guys that have many other offers. The Juco guys are hard to tell who has offered they get way less coverage then many of the high school players so we to not know the full extent of their offers.

Tyler Henderson - Duke
Reggie Brown - B.C., Rutgers, Marshall, Temple

All valid points. I was referring more to the JUCO guys since we just received verbals from two who are being offered by less notable programs.

To Rick's point, we are getting more size on both lines than in previous years.

GO OWLS!!!
