THE IUP Football Thread

For numerous reasons, I hate Signing Day hype.

But, it sure appears Tort has a loaded class coming aboard.

I agree, but only because I follow it on Elon's app. This year was weird, for those in the "have not" end of the spectrum, there aren't many recruits who chose them over a "have" program. Also, so many kids with 1 FBS PWO, a lower FCS offer, offers from Clarion and Lock Haven, and every D3 program between Columbus and State College.

official announcement this morning, Clarion it is. Let's call it wings when IUP visits this year and a trip to 9th street deli next time I pop into a camp practice?

Fair enough

Double or nothing on the wings IUP gets him.

The QB from Upper Merion officially signed. I haven't seen if the other verbal QB did or not.

Bingo, although I thought I saw there was some movement on being able to offer in state by a few PSAC schools to bordering states. I also could have just made that up too.

IUP discounted out of state by 20 percent.

That said, I still doubt they venture out much aside from some transfers.

If anything, they've started to hit the WPIAL and Pittsburgh City League harder in the past several years. They have a strong footing in Central PA and grab quite a few out of the Philly area.

Tort would have to really amp up his CO-OP Gear ad campaign for us to go out of state much.

No place is too far.

There is an edition of Hawk Talk tomorrow (FEB 2) which will discuss Signing Day and likely mid-year transfers. It will be broadcast from the Hilton.

Now we just have to swoop in and take Shepherds top recruits.
