Looking at the various sites...Babers seems to be doing a heck of a job recruiting. We have 12 verbals and at least half of them are *** or better on at least ne of the services (rivals, scout, espn, 24/7)

Are my stars off? I only have 3 guys 3* or better.

Scout has us with 6 ***.....there's guys on other services that are *** elsewhere too...

They must have just changed a bunch of them. 7 of our 12 are 3*'s somewhere.

It's been around a MONTH since any verbal has been traced to BG. we seemed to be doing well, then it all seemed to stop. Other MAC schools have added recruits recently so I wonder what's happening. DID see Harrison roberts play for Euclid vs Hudson on replay of that game...looks like a keeper..easily best player on field for Panthers.

Someone help me update this list.

This is what I have for next year with recruits highlighted. There is a lot of guesswork but its what I think for the moment. The 's' prefix indicates I think they have or have earned a scholarship. That's a guess for the most part. I also estimated weight after another year of conditioning.

The original post is updated.

You have 3 offensive lineman I don't see anywhere else. 2 look to be the Aussies.

Yeh, I included the two Aussies but I have no firm confirmation on them.

Who does? This has been the biggest recruiting mystery I can think of. Are they 1. For real
2. Too " old". 3. Unable to qualify? Looking forward to Feb. To get answers.

Allso, what has become of Mike Minns? Thought he was going to be a major contributer, and seems to have vanished... Was he injured? Anyone know?

Website still lists Minns on the roster but no playing time in 2014....and I don't see him anywhere in the 2014 season stats.
