2. Aussies coming?

[Class of 61]

Sentinal reporting that two FB players from Australia have verbal led to BG. One is 6' 7"- 336, the other is 6'5"- 315. Would be a first for us ....if it wasn't April 1. Then again, who knows?

Paul Manera played at Hawaii at the same time Coach McCloud did. There's your connection.

Could this be a first for the MAC?

Could this be an April Fools joke?

It was originally reported back on March 11:

Could this be an April Fools joke?

If so, it has to be one of the most elaborate I've ever seen. I've found this story on multiple websites.

The "moon landing(s)" got all kinds of media coverage and they were faked....

[Suzy Dieter]

They look like they are 35

[Siborg]

Exactly what I thought. At least 30.

You don't typically sign letters of intent more than a year in advance, so I have to believe these guys are being brought in to play this fall. Football doesn't have an early signing period the way basketball does. There are lots of football coaches out there who would like to have one in place, so they could wrap up certain players early and not have the process drag out until the last signing day.

I'd be looking for the Aussies to be in camp this summer with the rest of the freshmen recruits.

It doesn't say they signed LOI's, does it? The Aussie PR I saw just said they were "offered" scholarships....

[mscarn]

Hopefully they communicate the terms of the offer clearly or else we'll see "Australian Prime Minister: BG No Longer Welcome on Continent" headlines.
