Do remember guys the bit with hoop recruiting.
It isn't about getting 15, 20, or 25 kids like FB.
April is usually 1 or 2.
These are late fills to replace kid(s) who are leaving. Typically these kids haven't been recruited for 6 months.
The kid could be 'Plan B' like the kid Farris from Osborn. The only reason he is coming to EMU is that Gay left. Otherwise, he'd probably have gone to a D-II school (or so I hear).
As far as JUCOs, that again is '1' kid in April. Sometimes a kid someone saw at a JUCO tourney or maybe a friend of a coach or some connection.
Don't read TOO MUCH into one kid coming from Cali fornia. Don't look for more next year. It most likely similar to how we got Nink in the 90s (he played for a former teammate of one of the EMU coaches, might have been Brian Miller, I forget. You know, "I have a kid you should look at..." and a team will look and say, "sure".)
And in the case of that Cincy (?) h.s. EMU never got another kid... Don't build recruiting fantasy pipelines where none exist.
