There are some names on here that I can't find on any of the recruiting "expert" sites. Does any one know much about guys like Barrow, Corner, Davis, Fells, Lewis, Magnone, Parks, Sanderson and Tipton?

I also see that we had 24 signings. I thought someone here said he thought we had 25 signings. Did someone back out?

It's also nice to see a position next to each player so we can see where Coach Brandon expects to see that player (like Brighton at WR)

Yep,

I called Dad to let him know that the picture of Sean's signing party at school was on the boards. He asked me how to sign up...he said there was no other choice for a screen name!

Pics from the family celebration should be up later tonight or early AM!

GO BG Falcons!

Sounds like our new kicker has a pretty tightly knit family supporting him. This is great, as it's bringing in a whole bunch more Falcon fans :)

Another thing that stands out is that a good many of them also had immediate family with college sports background...hopefully discipline is also genetic.

The entire family is really excited and all are coming to the game in Cleveland. All of my co-workers at NASA/Boeing Kennedy Space Center are excited and looking forward to a winning season. His mom's name is Daune not Diane. Already ordered shirts, hats, etc for the family. Big party at the Beef O'Brady's near Cocoa High School tonight. Will post pictures. Big Bird really is a Falcon. :D

Welcome to the board and welcome Big Bird to Bowling Green! We can't wait to see him out on the field booting field goals, extra points, and kickoffs.

Welcome to the board man! We're going to have to get all of you guys over to the tailgate area...Not sure how many of the board frequent Cleveland, but I have to believe the Muni lot is the best place for the tailgate for the Wisky game.

Stay around on the boards and I'm sure you'll find where we'll all be tailgating, we'd love to have ya stop by!

Hasn't missed anything this year. The 43 yd. would have been good if it were from 55. Has ability to have touchbacks on all kickoffs, hangtime on those could be a little longer. Ranked highly on a national level. Very athletic plays in defensive secondary...think of recovering your own on-side, excellent speed...think swing-pass from holder on any bad snap, 4th and 5, etc.

That is the guy from Wadsworth! Nate Reed. I couldn't remember his name the other day but the Akron Beacon Journal has him rated at the top for the area kickers. Wadsworth plays Green this year so I'll have to see him play.

I think it looks like we have a money kicker in Ellis, which makes this whole "haunt us" idea pretty well moot. If we're in a position to lose to Kent on a late field goal, I'm guessing that our choice of which kicker to recruit isn't the reason why.

(And if it *is* the reason why, I'm afraid of how many more of Ellis' family members are out there waiting for us... :shock: :lol: It's like the Suisham party bus all over again!!! Man that kid had some family! :D )
