Agree and I think it is silly for a recruit to commit so early before having a chance to visits campuses for camp or an unofficial. The obvious exception is the kid who wanted to go to UofM, MSU, Alabama, etc since he was 10.

Since we are talking 2022 there is plenty of time to get it right.

One caveat. Folks need to figure out the scholarship numbers, number of recruits, etc. (I don't know what happened to the JUCO class of 2021?).

I suspect that a lot of 2021 JUCOs who didn't sign because their opportunities were taken up by the 'super seniors' will sign on in December as mid-year transfers. The big problem is that there may not be 2021 scholarships for them.

Teams, like EMU, are feasting on the transfers that are out there now. Not likely coaches are passing up proven FBS talent to have scholarships for mid-year JUCO transfers. In many respects for 2021, a FBS transfer is like the JUCO transfer of old. The coach's chance to get an experienced player who can contribute immediately for say two years.

2021 was a crazy year for recruits because of the 'super senior' provision.

Man, I was wrong last year about complaining we didnt have any early enrollees. Now looking at the way CC was holding off due to an extra yr for all players and being able to pick from the transfer portal, I'm not overly concerned.

I will stick to my story that if we win 8 games I think it opens eyeballs. Our recruiting the last 3-4 years has been good and imagine if we won a MAC title. Man, I hop CC gets it done. He has the team this year to compete, get wins and help with recruiting.

Steve don't feel the least bit bad. Coach is a smart guy but NOBODY ever claimed he was overly aggressive, he promotes the fair catch, sits on leads and absolutely avoids potential bad citizen recruits. He is who he is and to date I vigorously accept him.

With the one time free pass of transfer, I honestly think the portal is a far more lucrative option than the High School ranks. I still love the fourth year senior, but I doubt that Maxx Crosby or for that matter Brogan Roback and Kevin Magill would have finished their collegiate careers at EMU under such rules. The world has changed and Coach Creighton has adapted, he has a clear strategy while it may have befuddled both of us, I feel sanguine about where we are going.
