So remember former 2014 commit Kenny Rawls who de-committed and landed at NIU on signing day? Well, something happened there and somehow ended up at Marshall. This got me thinking... besides Rawls, where did the rest of them end up at?

Tim Cason - Purdue
T.J. Edwards - Wisconsin
LaDarian Smiley - Faulkner University (grades)
Treevon Prater - didn't end up qualifying at Syracuse, went to Prep school
Trevahn Beery - BGSU
Noa Merritt - Boston College
Alex Gardner - FIU
Stephen Louis - N.C. State

Who am I missing?

That's an impressive list. That combined with what was landed shows strength of WMU's recruiting efforts. Impressive.

And it doesn't even those who didn't qualify academically.

Terran Hasselbach who went to Colorado.

This just occured to me, does anyone know if or how much our ranking as a recruiting class fell after these decommits and players that didn't make the grade fell off? That'd be interesting to know, and sports related.

Why don't you research that one for us Scoop, then report back and let us know how Fleck dropped the ball.

While you're at it, please check on the remaining 120+ schools and which players did and didn't qualify for those programs also, and then calculate where they each land in the standings after taking those changes into account. Maybe then we'll be comparing apples to apples.

Great point does our class still rank the highest on MAC history after all this shakes out?

Well I looked, but all the hobbiest publications stop caring after LOI day and they do their initial compilation. I figured you social media stalkers and recruiting guru's would have this information at your fingertips.

Either that or you all know and are being obtuse because you know the answer and don't want it to be common knowledge?

Perhaps if you weren't making thousands of pointless posts on message boards you could devote more time to answering your own questions rather than hoping others will do it fo you.............or maybe your just throwing out more worthless trash to bait more people into responding.

That's the same model they use at the Gazette. You'd be a rockstar there.

If you guys didn't spend all this time monitoring the web board, making sure that any post less than glowing about Fleck is countered immediately, I'm sure you would know that information, not be so paranoid, and share it willingly.

There was a day when that kind of question was answered with no fear of violating an agenda, or going against a managed perception.

I guess those days are over huh?

I don't know this CD/CD1/CD2 guy personally, but I know I like him. He seems to have B-Lifer down to a T after only 300 (pointless) posts.

Nice Charm.

Forgot about LeGrande Harley (USF) and Trevon Young (Louisville)

Was Harley ever committed. I thought he just visited?

You might be right about that. I think he actually committed to Southern Miss, and then later flipped to USF now that I think about it... which kind of gets back to my point.

I highly doubt that unless there's someone who wants to go in a database and figure out who didn't end up on campus from all the other schools too. That's why nobody took you up, because nobody has that kind of time on their hands with nothing better to do.

(Except maybe one of us..)

On the contrary. You hobbyists have all kinds of time to stalk young HS kids on social media, follow players around campus, gossip with their girlfriends et al. Then you go on he Internet and pass yourselves off as "all knowing".

I'm thinking the answer was there to repeat but being a only positive Peejmongers, it isn't favorable and the usual hobbyists didn't want to distribute that info. Hence the snide and defensive replies to my question.

Awfully "all knowing" yourself deciding you know what I (used to) do with rivals.

Nice armchair psychology there though to go along with your outright lie earlier (I know conaire! He's not related to anyone! )
