Sorry if I missed this - posted elsewhere/earlier, howver noticed on Scouts that BG will now have 2 rather beefy O-lineman from Middletown. (Not shown on Rivals)

Also noticed that Lane Robiloto is not listed here (shown on Rivals) and still no news on Briggs Orsbon. Lastly,I hope we can get Mr. Sprat. Between us and the sprockets. Make the right choice young man - please!!

While I'd love to see Orsbon at Toledo, he is likely headed to Ball State.
Sprat.......not sure either one of us will end up with him.

Thanks RF. Always hurts a little more when we loose one to Balls. I live just up the road - Ft. Wayne - and still wonder what they have that we don't. Davis, Hoke?
Sprat.........Big Ten?

Ball State has Nate Davis for one. Although if I was a receiver I would wonder about how long I would play with him, if at all. If you commit to Ball State and get redshirted next year you might not play with Davis at all. I can see him going pro after his junior season.
Another thing for Ball State is that they just renovated their stadium, added a new artificial surface, and have a nice weight room. They've done a nice job of recruiting the state of Ohio lately too. RB Frank Edmonds showed really good promise as a true freshman this year, and he is a guy that both Toledo and BG were after last recruiting season.

I agree with you re: Davis, however as far as your second point - we did as well. Oh well.....guess I'll just have to live with a little more BSU BS

for the time being.

Yes, some of those 40 yard times just make me laugh. Those times are sooooooooo fictitious that they should not include them in the stat columns. Just get rid of that crap as it is meaningless.
