Where are you seeing that? Would be interesting to even see a player ranked like that on campus even if we don't have a realistic shot.

Hawn has been offered by West Point and Harvard. Getting looks from Illinois, Northwestern, and Indiana.

who's Hawn?

Issac Hawn?

I think Kurt Russell has much more athletic ability to offer than Goldie.
No?

Goldie's a coach anyway ('Wildcats').

Well we had Javonte's Seabury's brother on campus, the kid that signed with Florida State and was the #1 running back or whatever. He rowed the boat for a day.

I'm okay with our stable of backs though.

I was a teenager when that came out. Or maybe younger. Either way, I went through a lot of socks. Her daughter is just as gorgeous.

Dylan Deatherage. Number four. A big kid from Bishop Mac. OL or DL.

It depends on the sport I would never count Goldie out!

Which of our staff is recruiting Illinois? They're good!

Callahan and Wenger I believe.

Callahan has been an unheralded coach and recruiter for us during the Fleck era.

Yep, commit #4 is in the boat.

He's got great size and strength. I'd love to see him polish up his mechanics and play defensive end. It would be nice to have that kind of size on the D-line. Another Nathan Braster type.

Commit #5: (ATH) Brayden Smith out of Byron Center, MI

Big kid! Especially considering he plays safety right now. He's going to get a lot more offers by the time the next signing day comes around. Hope we can hang onto him.

Awesome! And wow...a 6'4" safety. And he already runs a 4.5 40? If that's accurate, there's a lot of potential there. Could see him playing a number of different positions.

5 commits already for the class of 2017. And it's only February of 2016. This is crazy.

Is he going to be a saftey? He looks like he projects better as a WR. Either way, he is a good get.

I just saw that 247 lists him as a WR. Would make more sense.

Impressive tape. Big, strong receiver.

Western recruited him as a safety. I like that.
