Bowie is 5'9 160 lbs so I have doubts he gets an FCS offer this late in the game. Guess time will tell.Comment

Yeah, they'll need to take quite a leap forward. Ship's weaknesses were well documented last season, and they still had little trouble with the Bald Eagles.Originally posted by jrshooter View PostComment

Shows how up to date I am. Didn't even realize he had another year. He had his moments at Ship although he had a tendency to jitterbug around behind the LOS too much before hitting the hole. He played behind a youthful o-line at Ship, so maybe the holes will be a little bigger at Slippery Rock.Originally posted by IUPbigINDIANS View PostComment

It will be nice once all these Covid extra years, etc., are washed out. It will make things a little easier to track.Originally posted by Ship69 View PostComment

No kidding. I think the Covid year in hindsight should have been only for the upperclassmen during the pandemic. There is a D1 basketball player that is about to embark on his 8th year of college. High school kids are really getting the shaft with how many 22-25 year olds are still "kids" in school.Originally posted by IUPbigINDIANS View PostComment

Tort has talked about that the last two recruiting cycles. In particular, his 2022 class he said he was able to sign kids that would have never been D2 players a couple years ago.Originally posted by Ram040506 View Post
It is funny to think about players being 25 or 26 and still playing college sports. I sure hope they have more than just a bachelors' degree.
High school players have really taken a hit in basketball. Aside from the Covid item, colleges are recruiting a ton of overseas players. The trickle down has become lots of very good U.S. high school players are ending up in JUCO. Then, of course, they become the next waive of 'transfers' the following year or two.
More and more programs -- D1 and D2 -- are 'punting' recruiting high school basketball players. At our level, in particular, they are very rarely ready to play. Coaches are terrified to redshirt players in today's era because they'll just leave. So, the vast majority of teams are recruiting solely out of the portal (and overseas). It's very common now to see players who have been at 3-4 different schools.Comment

I had seen the mention of Braxton - I'm curious --- being from Martinsburg, if he/Shepherd reached out and it didn't work out. Shepherd can/could use help at RB so I thought it might be an option.Comment
