Is WMU out recruiting Toledo for 2017?
Sounds like it from Scout and other recruiting sites.

They've been out recruiting Toledo and Northern for about the last 3 years.

RE: Is WMU out recruiting Toledo for 2017?
#1 The signing classes are no guarantee who makes it to campus or stays with the program.
#2 No consistencies on how the classes rank. Some include JUCO's,some not. There are biases based on class size(hard to compare a class of 15 versus 28), whether or not a service has viewed film of the recruit, specific
camps attended, whether or not your school maintains an active site with that service.
#3 A number of good players have not been part of service ranked UT signing classes,i.e.:
Jhonny Williams, Earl Moore, Jeremi Powell, Dionte Johnson, Michael Roberts, Ruben Carter, Phillip Ely, Sami Kassem, etc.
Don't worry about the recruiting rankings. The results on the field are what matters.

And what have they accomplished with the highly regarded recruiting classes? If they don't make some noise this season I predict the luster starts to wear off the Fleck hype machine.

Am I missing a negative here? Our recruiting seems up. If theirs is too, that's good for the league and will feed on itself, further raising our recruiting profile. No?

Our outgoing coaching staff beat us. And beating Toledo is not a very lofty goal to check off their to-do list. Merely one of twelve games. No West champ. No MAC champ. 8-5 with a bowl win isn't terrible but it doesn't reflect all the coaching and recruiting hype.

I concur on the outgoing staff(same with the NIU loss) along with the two glaring player errors.

2 bowl games in 3 years, including their first bowl victory (i think) and first top25 win (over us) in program history.... That's up and up. From 1-11 to 7-6 to 8-5.... If they win the MAC, PJ will probably be gone and WMU will be loaded for a few years after to come.

The overall recruiting level in the MAC is up over the last 4 to 6 years. Most definitely. No doubt about it.

RE: Is WMU out recruiting Toledo for 2017?
I'd say the win over us in the Glass Bowl suggests they are trending well when we were poised to win the MAC. I think a lot of factors went into the loss, none of them being out recruited.
I also hate these early Friday games after Thanksgiving.

Making it to a bowl game these days is not much of an accomplishment.

Probably true but I think fans and players that went would say our Bowls have been good experiences? And for WMU it's improvement.

In his first year, maybe... But they gave Baylor the 2nd best game of the Big12 last year, shut out Texas, lost in OT to KSTATE on a bad call where refs were reprimanded, killed Kansas, gave Iowa a game for 3.5 quarters, lost in OT to Toledo, and beat up on UNI. They will win 4-7 games this season. TCU, Oklahoma, OSU, and Baylor are there only non winnable games. Texas Tech, WVU? Those teams arent world beaters. ISU was so stuck with that coach. I see a good year for Campbell.

Wins over:
Northern Iowa

That would do it.
