Very impressive size. I really hope Santa brings HC a competent Offensive Coordinator who can actually use these weapons that are accumulating on offense.

Our answer lies in the QB position and would not be surprised to see all remain the same for 2020, before we take the next step offensively with Butash, Seiderman or someone new

Brian Vaganek has the responsibility of recruiting northern NJ, so credit to him. Although, for certain recruits, Chesney, no doubt, is heavily involved.
We are recruiting at a very high level.
Credit to the entire staff.

Great to see these most recent offensive commits. Our defense looks pretty solid, especially in the back end with solid players currently in the roster and coming in with this class at LB, SS and DB. I would still like to see us maybe get one more commit on DL.

Another GREAT GET !! These type of players will push the Crusader football team to new heights..... It would be great to add 2 more DL to the defense and have Hunter Helms re-assess his commitment. Looking forward to Wednesday.....

Looking forward to Wednesday..... Wonder if the staff is looking at the portal for DL from FBS? Eligible next year with a year or two experience. After the early signing period, I would not be surprised if this will be the strategy for the February signing period. Only speculation on my part. 😎

Only speculation on my part. 😎 I'm actually surprised there aren't more kids at Big State U or equivalent who don't transfer to a HC or William&Mary, Yale etc when they see the writing on the wall i.e. they aren't going to play much, I should go to a school where I can play and get a great education etc. It happens but not in the numbers you'd think imo..maybe it will start happening more. at HC?

What a weekend for the Crusaders. As one longtime assistant coach at HC told me, "The games may be played during the fall but they are really won and lost on the weekends when prospects visit campus."
Major props to Coach Chesney and staff for aiming high, daring to be great and doing the necessary things to attract student-athletes of the sort like Byron Shipman and Malik Scott et al to Worcester.
Think coaches across the Patriot League are taking notice of these commitments? No doubt.
Mr. Shipman's list of offers is the sort not typically seen in the Patriot League. Nor is Mr. Scott's, which if we can trust this site, Rivals, indicates the following schools as having offered this future Crusader: Air Force (decommitted), Army, Cincinnati, North Carolina State, and Syracuse n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2020/malik-scott-186035#school-interests
Not a stretch to think that current Crusaders Ayir Asante and Ben Blessing shared their experiences at the Cross with their former high school teammates.
Great things can happen with leadership. Stating the obvious but student-athletes with skill levels like Mr. Shipman and Mr. Scott are game-changers . They have a profoundly positive impact on a team, a program, a campus, and a community.
Welcome to Worcester, gentlemen!!
LET'S WIN!!
Friends of Crusader Football Mission: a commitment to excellence in helping our Crusaders win on and off the field.

I see that Ben Blessing did not play in any games this his freshman season. Was he injured at all ?

Pete Muldoon went to John Carroll, no? Just reread this post-- sorry when I said yes I only read Carroll. Muldoon, O'Brien, and Jaffe Dickerson all went to Archbishop Carrol HS in NE D.C.

Not a coincidence that the new USF head coach is the former Clemson OC.
