Valdosta State needs a Week 1 opponent. Come on, Tort. Pull the trigger.

Hey, I would be "all in" on that one.

No wink-wink.

I guess I should learn the kickers' names.

Don't feel so bad, I didn't know his name either. All I know is he wasn't used often other than XP's.

Hey, if Montross didn't have 50-yard range, I might not remember his name. Took me three years to grasp that our punter is, fittingly, named Shank.

Your PK last season? Or was that wink-wink? ;)

Who is Luther?

I can't even believe Luther transferred to Ship, although I hear he wants a chance at wideout. He sure isn't beating out Montross.

Well, if he is going to transfer somewhere I guess it would be to Ship. IUP has Spitler from State College in the fold who should have 4 years of eligibility. I think Spitler has a little more range for FG's and is probably just as accurate for XP and shorter FG's. Of course, they also have Grubbs but I doubt they want him to do double duty punting and kicking. A transfer is probably not out of the question.

Looks like one QB they offered from CD East signed with Clarion.

Clarion actually pulled together a decent class - probably pretty good considering they don't have a head coach right now.

I'd guess any high school QB that does much research would be very skeptical of signing with IUP. With the transfer track record at the position, it could be 3-5 years before you ever (if) see the field.

[Fightingscot82]

It's interesting that so far there are no RB's, no QB, no WR's. One LB although the DE could be a LB. No K/P.

The Tort Show is tonight live from the Hilton if anybody is interested in attending or watching.

I'm sure we'll hear about each recruit along with any mid-year transfers.

In his film, he makes some great catches. He's really athletic and he can block.

On occasion those films have been known to be selectively edited. So your suggestion why an obviously D1 talent/body is going D2 would be......???

[iupgroundhog]

Just a guess but the TE might be a sad victim of "stone hands"... there's a lot of it around.

The TE is getting a ton of buzz. Kid is 6'5", 232 lbs and can fly.

So, why is he coming to D2?

Call me curious.

I don't get too exited about Signing Day. But, I must admit, this class looks incredible.
