If you'll come, we'll take you.

Verbal today from an undersized DB. Slappies are claiming he had a Toledo offer, but it doesn't show up on Rivals, and after attending a UT camp he told the Toledo site that Toledo "had interest"

Having lost the top area prospect to rival WMU (Kaleb Perry) Bingbong ventured out to Mt Pleasant High and offered a LBer with no interest from other schools.

Just my gut feeling, but I don't think CMU is resonating with top recruits these days. Too many warn out guys on the staff, same crew that failed recruiting MI under Enos.

Too early to judge, but it seems possible a train wreck is coming to Mt. Pleasant.

Actually that doesn't excite me long term not a good thing for the MAC.

Davis may have saved Heeke's bacon for awhile, but him not keeping the Kelly-Jones train rolling in Football is going to cost him.

He could have righted the ship by hiring Tony Annese this time but whiffed again.

Agree with Dip and Ern. Going to be a dark, mediocre era in Mt. Pee. They may struggle to stay ahead of Eastern.

Bingbong may be a good hire, but retaining a staff that struggled recruiting and coaching was a mistake.

For whatever reason the remaining staff has not made an impression on MI coaches even though that is where they put most of their effort.

Now they are tooting the idea that all is better now that former WMU coaches are gone. That would be Enos, Tumpkin, and Nystrom.

That would be great accept they left for greener pastures, nobody showed them the door. In the new era of college football, 1990 forward, CMU is, and has always been a hard sell to recruits. It took a highly dynamic coach to sell it.

Chicago and Detroit kids have closer and better options. Its a much tougher sell to drive that extra 2 hours to be in the land of nothingness.

It really is the worst drive...

But yeah. The chimps recruiting is off to an abysmal start. To be fair, you have to work magic to get kids to live in a cornfield for 4-5 years.

Nothing is going to change at Mt. Unpleasant Junior College until they hit rock-bottom and have to clean sweep. Heeke needs to go before they can have a resurgence, he's Mr. Mediocrity. Watch for 2015 to be an unmitigated disaster on the gridiron. But it'll take two consecutive years of that before Heeke is broomed.
