UCF and Troy is a good basketball rivalry. Good luck with them.

You guys always have good linemen. QB McDowell will get his name in the books before he leaves Troy.

FAU closet fan. Thanks for the plugs. :D
I was asked a similar question on a Rivals board when I was talking up Troy.
"Someone said I thought you were FAU"… ;D

I just updated the latest from High School Scout Commit list on opening thread and we are at 18 recruits so we'll see what happens tomorrow.

This from the Palm Beach Post - list of commits up to 25:

Broward recruits stuff roster

Many of the newest Florida Atlantic players won't need directions to Lockhart Stadium, where the Owls and several Broward County high schools play their home games.

This year's recruiting class has a large Broward County contingent.

Fau has added to what is its best recruiting class in the program's history by adding five recruits, bringing the Owls' number of commitments to 25.

The Owls landed two players from Broward County when Deerfield Beach defensive lineman Eldrid Jones and Dillard linebacker Edwin Bradwell committed.

Jones (6-feet-2, 255 pounds) is a teammate of Deerfield Beach running back Roderick Ferguson, who committed to the Owls last week.

The 6-1, 210-pound Bradwell also had a teammate commit earlier to FAU when offensive lineman Lavaris Williams said he'd play for the Owls.

FAU appears ready to sign six players from Broward County today.

Shoring up its linebacker corps, which lost all but one starter, the Owls also received a verbal commitment from George Allen, a 6-0, 210-pound linebacker from Lakeland, who was the team's leading tackler and was a second team All-5A selection.

The Owls also received an oral commitment from David Matlock, a 6-0, 270-pound offensive lineman from Lake Wales, where he was a four-year starter.

The Owls also appear to have expanded the FAU recruiting territory. While the Owls once concentrated on areas south of Orlando, the northern parts of Florida appear to have provided FAU with players this year as Pensacola-Pace wide receiver Terence Hall (5-9, 165 pounds) will likely sign today.

FAU is still in a battle with Miami-Ohio over John Carroll cornerback Antonio Brunson.

I thought Antonio Brunson had already given an oral to FAU ???
