New commit Brady Earle, Milton Academy, IOL Thanks for the news Tweet did not appear I'll try again when I'm logged into my desktop, but I tried editing it three or four times last night. I'm inclined to think it's just Twitter being awful and broken these days.

Saw him play in person. Tough kid. Plays hard. Not too many offers from what I can see, but plenty of interest. Father played OL at HC as well. Won’t know if he’s a PWO or partial scholi till Feb 7th. I agree with DHarry. I like his leverage and how he gets his hips under him at contact (vs bending at the waist) and how he finishes. Definitely a little nasty streak. If he is in fact a PWO, it’s a very impressive second one in this class along with Edge DE McSweeney. Second signing period starting Feb 7th will likely have 9-11 kids sign NLIs with an additional 3-4 PWOs (2 Safeties and WR for sure) Keep in mind, the window to sign is open through April unlike the first period where it’s just open 3 days. Still, we should expect most if not all NLIs to be buttoned from Feb 7-9.

Can't seem to get that tweet to post here for whatever reason.
His handle is @brady73earle if anyone wants to check it out

Jake Hohenshelt has been released from his NLI and decommitted from Holy Cross.

Our choice or his? How big a loss is this?

He signed his letter of intent. The school and coaches already honored the commit when the kid signed so it's definitely his choice. It's a bigger loss because signing day is 2 weeks and 1 day away. Now the staff has to go and scramble for another OL.

That's a bummer.
Guess I need to try and dig into potential OL recruits again

I don’t think he was offered by higher level schools - he’s from State College Pa, I wonder if one of our Penn. league rivals swooped in to grab him (altho new commitment not announced)

IMHO, I don’t think they would have let him loose of his NLI especially before Feb 7th if they thought the former staff had paid fair market value. Curran and Denecke could have thought they overpaid.

Received offers from Lehigh and Bucknell this morning- or at least posted this morning

I wish him well wherever he goes, unless it is to James Madison.

Curran and Denecke could have thought they overpaid. probably right and I also hope they think a couple of the their new offerees are better value. This is currently my biggest concern (OL) only because we still don't a higher level commit.

I personally believe DE and CB are more of a focal point. OL are a little easier to come by versus guys who can rush the passer and cover in man to man.

When a recruit asks to be released from the NLI, it if often for personal or family reasons. That he has received offers from the two PL schools closest to his home suggests that might be the case.

Another signal went out. Up to 3 in the pipeline now

Another signal went out. Up to 3 in the pipeline now thanks, doctor. I'm hoping that one or two of the signals are level 1 recruits. I'm not looking forward to the drama of waiting too long for a walk-on to reveal himself. I'm a bit drammaed out this year between the coaching situation and the decommiters, portallers back and forth, etc.

Ethan Moss committed - a K/P.

Guessing this is the Ethan Moss from NH who was 63/65 on XP’s and 9/10 on FG’s. Also played RB and SS

I'm not looking forward to the drama of waiting too long for a walk-on to reveal himself. I'm a bit drammaed out this year between the coaching situation and the decommiters, portallers back and forth, etc. I hear you on Level 1 recruits NJ but would not overly project most players’ potential over the next 4 years. Recruiting is tough and while I won’t list the “tier 1” recruits that have been misses over the years, here’s a short list of Tier 2 (mid partials) and even Tier 3 (low partial to PWO) out of HS that have been starters in the recent past. Sluka, CJ Hanson, Phoenix Dickson, Liam Anderson, Peter Oliver, Dan Kuz, Jake Reichwein, Walter Reynolds, Terrell Prince, Cristos Argys, Jack McCauley, Jason Modak, Nick Olsofka and so on. I won’t list any current roster members but you’d be surprised at many. The difference in talent among Tiers in FCS is just not that wide when you watch a lot of film on these kids. There are VERY FEW sure hits or misses in FCS recruiting. And by the way, it’s not just us. Take a look at Lafayette this year. QB DeNobile was a PWO, RB Curtis had 2-3 FCS offers and was under recruited, same for their PL Rookie of the Year DL Jaylon Joseph.

Great advice 05, and I have thought about the current roster in terms of guys who I thought were 1/2/3's. Without names, look at the frosh who played a lot the last 4ish games and it probably speaks strongly to your point.

Post by midwestsader05 on Jan 25, 2024 11:05:56 GMT -5
Exactly NJ. I can count 6 players from last year’s frosh that had better freshman seasons than guys one or even two Levels above them in the same position group.
