Looks like we are going to a shot a WMU at Ryan field again next year or a few years after. PJ has already flipped 6 WMU verbals to Minny. I certainly understand that recruits have to go where they are comfortable with the school and the coach. I don't believe any of these guys were on Minnys radar and I suspect most have never been on campus.
What gets me is the line of bull guys like PJ and Franklin pull about be one big family. Us against the world manta. Row the fricking boat and I have 3 daughters and 85 sons! PJ will take a few more from WMU and totally destroy this year's class for them. Wonder how WMU's freshman class that committed to PJ feel as he dismantles the depth that they need to continue to compete for titles? PJ has always sold PJ and maybe those that signed on last year realized that. I have my doubts. Why would this year's class sign on with PJ if it was obvious he wouldn't be there for there 4-5 years? Well, I think you are seeing the reason right now. Bet there were plenty of discussions around " if I go I'll take you with me".
These guys are not big 4-5 star recruits and their rankings are modest by B1G standards, but these guys all remind us the college football is a big time business. Some of these coaches strike me as self serving snake oil salesman. I guess that is stating the obvious, but I just hate their BS mantra of its about the players and the team. No it is not. It's about me, the publicity seeking HC jumping for more money and a better opportunity. You are a vehicle for me to get there. If you happen to be on the team when I split, well sorry about that.
