We have a members only area for recruiting for those who give a d**n about this program so stop this crap and stay on point. join the board a share your crap this board. The whole school need a big culture shift and I believe it comes from the TOP We need to Fill in Blank .... I know We need solutions to get the Football fans back. Never discount anyone that yet to set foot on campus. You guests need to man up and join the board. I agree but what is a d**n? How do we join as I'm in.

Also, why do the default profiles (including mine) look like something from the Heaven's Gate group? That can be fixed before we figure out no one gives d**n about this program.

We always have kids leave. Especially at this level when you only have so many scholarships. Most of which are non scholarship kids who leave because they can't afford it or thought they deserved a scholarship. Only way a scholarship leaves is to go walk on somewhere bigger and not play or drop down to D2 so they can play right away.
Yes last I heard the class was at 13 or 14. So no it is definitely not just 1 kids. Don't worry we'll lose some kids in the last month or so as the bigger schools start offering to some of our commits. It happens every year. We will sign a full class either way. The kids tape will look impressive as they always do. Then you have to wait and see what they can do when they actually play college football.

We picked up a commitment last night. A LB from New Jersey.
Regardless of our record we have a great product to sell. We have top notch academics, great facilities and a great campus.
Hence many of our opinions about the lack of success in the past decade. It's baffling.

Hence many of our opinions about the lack of success in the past decade. It's baffling. What do you mean by "It's baffling"... fc4life! With three GREAT COMMODITIES as those, just imagine if a winning football program was paired with them...it's not...thus the reason why we can't consistently recruit 3, 4, & 5 star recruits. We get the athletes who see a FREE top notch education with the chance to play football with possibly a slim chance to try out for NFL; if they manage to break all the schools records. The great athletes we do have are not playing in appropriate positions or are not being utilized appropriately in THEIR specific talent. Example: like telling D. Watson (Clemson) not to EVER run the football just dump it down to running back or screen passes. JUST AN EXAMPLE! Play schemes to match talent ability plays a huge role.

With due respect, we will never sign 4 & 5 star recruits. Duke and Wake Forest rarely do. That's not something small private schools get, much less FCS small private schools. I would bet there aren't more than 2 or 3, 4 star recruits in the CAA, (unless they are transfers from P5 schools). I bet there aren't 10 nationwide. I would like to see a few 3 star guys though. I don't necessarily disagree with all your other points though.

There are some talented kids on the roster and I definitely agree that they r not being coached or used right to b successful. U have 3 to 4 kids from last yr class that should of went to power 5 schools, but didn't due to circumstances of injury and other things. With that being said, it doesn't matter how good they r if the coach can't recognize there talent...

Seems like they miss on recruits. 4 total touchdowns by the WR corps. I know of one 2015 kid out of Charlotte who wanted to go Elon, but they opted for another player. Kid ended up at WSSU. 5 TDs this year by himself. Cheek the QB form Butler in Charlotte is committed but he might be having second thoughts! Coaching may be an issue, but you got to get the talent.

Obviously some of that is QB play. Also a different level of competition. But agree with what your saying.

Elon won 26-3, not sure there is a big difference in the level of competition. I heard that WSSU wanted to schedule, but Elon was not having it I wonder why? Long story short hope good quality players enter program and coaching steps up.

U have the right name Grandpa cause u r truly outdated!! It makes no sense to discuss recruiting or anything else related with someone who has no clue about the process...truly a joke 14 haha So how many commits did we get "truth" That's right 14!!! How many freshman from last year transferred out to D1 programs? That's right 0!!! you should change your screen name to "FALSE"

First of all Grandpa u have to b able to read....I stated we didnt have a lot of movement on recruits at that time. I also stated if there were no changes with the staff they would leave. If im not mistaken i thought we have a new staff, but i guess u forgot.
