I dont know if this means anything but scouts inc. ranks the MAC as the worst conference in recruiting.... I remember when the sun belt was a joke to us .... now they are beating us on the field and in recruiting

I could really care less about the MAC.....its BOWLING GREEN I care about, and I think we will be just fine.

I wouldn't worry about these being Midwestern student athletes, I am more curious about a lack of Florida student athletes.

Scouts.inc is pretty much worthless. They will hire anybody to work for them

You can't care about BG and not care about the overall health of the MAC. Well, I suppose you can, but it's monumentally stupid.

QB recruit is from California...had been rated 3 stars until he verballed to BG...then he became a two star...same old same old... DL from Mass., LB from Wisconsin aren't "midwest"
As to getting most of our kids from the Midwest, I don't have a problem with it. You go after the best kids for your program... only concern I have is hitting Michigan too hard as I don't think Mich. FB is that good overall... but this was supposedly a real "UP" year for Michigan FB, and MSU and CMU certainly cleaned house in their home state...so we'll just have to wait and see.

I am from Wisconsin. Trust me when I say Wisconsin is in the Midwest. Also, does anyone know if Paul Swan is related to former Wisconsin receiver Luke Swan? Because Luke Swan was one of my favorite players on the Badgers over the last few years, and I hope Paul is built from the same stock

There are a lot of good high school football programs, that put out great athletes in the Midwest. From the looks of things, coach Clawson has put together a good coaching staff that will teach these boys to succeed on and off the field. He has a good athletic base to already work with, and I think these Midwestern boys will do nothing but contribute. From looking at these new recruits profiles, I'm excited. It's a good day to be a falcon!!

Roll Along...

Ohio football is head and shoulders above football in the rest of the "midwest". BG would be in great shape if they could sign even more Ohio kids.

I don't know about related, but they're not brothers. Luke's bio on his website lists about four or five siblings, Paul's blurb on the BG site says he has one brother, a different hometown and different parents.

Just curious, what states do you consider the midwest?

I've always found the "midwest" label to be rather curious, and I think that states like Ohio and Michigan are better classified as "Great Lakes". Anyway, for the purposes of interpreting my claim above, you can include any state with a Big Ten team.
