3 Verbals Added

ESPN.com is reporting 3 new football verbals...

The highest rated is Julian Campenni of Exter, PA.  He went to Wyoming HS, and while many people might get sidetracked about here trying to figure out how come there are all these places in the middle of nowhere named Wyoming, I instead looked further into Campenni.  He was highly recruited, and was probably only stopped from going to a bigger school because he was not a little taller.  He is 5'11" and 255, but you figure he adds 40 pounds or so before he hits the field.

I am more of a fan of productivity on the field...I like to see guys who make football plays.  Julian had 85 tackles, 35 for loss and 11 sacks in his junior year.

Fahn Cooper is the second.  He projects to the O-line, and had a handful of offers from other MAC schools.  He is 6'5" and 300, from Crystal Lake, IL.  O-lineman are notoriously difficult to find data on, but I do note that he was a big playmaker on the D-Line as well as the O-line.

Finally, Jermal Hosley of Highland Park, MI has made a verbal commitment.  He is 5'9" 160, and had 36 catches for an eye-popping 800 yards and 6 TDs last summer.  He reportedly had an offer from BSU and interest from UT.  He was also fast enough to make the finals for the 100-yard dash in Michigan.

Usually, this is about when we start to see the commitments come in, so we'll keep a close eye on it as we travel through August.
