WTH is going on with Marshall FB recruiting ?

[old buzzard]

Are they even bothering to recruit these days ?

https://marshall.rivals.com/commitments/football/2018

Compare that pitiful list to ours

https://westvirginia.rivals.com/commitments/football/2018

And the commitment lists of some of their conference rivals

https://wku.rivals.com/commitments/football/2018
https://southernmiss.rivals.com/commitments/football/2018
https://northtexas.rivals.com/commitments/football/2018
https://latech.rivals.com/commitments/football/2018
https://rice.rivals.com/commitments/football/2018

As well as some of their future OOC opponents

Hard to imagine the Notre Dame of the G-5 and the self proclaimed flagship of our state not putting a little more effort into recruiting...............or do they have to wait and pick over the Prop 48's and the reports from the bail bondsmen to come in before they fill their class ?

I don’t follow recruiting at all. It’s a waste of time and means very little. Look at Tennessee, Texas, always great classes and yield no results.

Your team is showing a total of ten recruits at the current time..........eight 2 stars and two that no one else has any interest in. Every one else is loading up. Your conference mates and future opponents are doing much better on that front, but according to you, none of that matters. Apparently Doc follows the same philosophy.
I see some long, frustrating seasons on the horizon for the Herd and their fans.

Marshall doesnt ramp up recruiting efforts until final grades come out in May. #nonqualifieru
As the man once said "A lot has to go wrong for a kid to end up at Marshall"

So............it's November. Did you have a point or did you just now realize what month it is ? Click on some of the links in my original post and see some of the verbals Marshall's future opponents have gotten. It's November where they are too.

Verbal's aren't worth the paper they're written on!

That's a good line but doesn't explain why Marshall isn't having much recruiting success.

no they can't....and if they could marshal could have avoided some real disasters...(cue Huntington police blotter now)

Clever reply, just like your last one. Rivals lists the top 100 recruiting classes as of now (November).

https://n.rivals.com/team_rankings/2018/all-teams/football

Keep in mind that there are only 129 or 130 FBS teams and Marshall's 2018 class of recruits didn't make the list.........but that's okay with you and Doc.

You may have something similar in Kai Locksley............why didn't he show up at Marshall in July like he said he would ?

Maybe Marine03 should remind him that "it's November"

Yes it is. And Locksley was supposed to show up last July and didn't.............and Marshall still hasn't added any commitments to their list.

Signing day is in February

 

[old buzzard]

It’s November Signing day is in February

There's also an early signing period in December. Someone should have told Doc.

 

[westsiderSJHS77]

December 20th

 

[dave]

It’s November

Well. I mean that used to be a reason but they have an early signing period in December.

 

[Shirley Knott]

It’s November

Every day is November when recruits are saying no...

 

[MichiganHerd]

Every day is November when recruits are saying no...

Surely not

 

[old buzzard]

It’s November

Now we are a week into December and early signing period starts in two weeks. Marshall still isn't listed in Rivals list of the the top 100 recruiting classes for 2018.
In the meantime WVU's class is ranked at #14..........and the Herd's future opponents and conference mates are taking care of business.

You will have to enlighten me on what one failed WVU recruit from 13 years ago has to do with Marshall's poor 2018 recruiting class.

I've forgotten, did Jason win 3 or just 2 Heisman's?

 

[old buzzard]

I've forgotten, did Jason win 3 or just 2 Heisman's?

We can both agree he was a flop. A better question is how many of Marshall's 2018 recruits had offers anywhere other than Marshall ?

 

[Tonycried2]

A better question is how many Heisman winners do you see in Marshall's 2018 class of recruits.

Doc must see it the same way as you. Maybe that's why him and his staff aren't recruiting while every other team in the nation is...........
