A.M. Allan
Where do they stand relative to their recruiting?

Stay tuned as we will have updates on Army prospects Cole Strange, Christian Mallard, Walter Pritchett, Kayin White, Fred Cooper, Nathan Snyder, Layton Garnett and others.

It should be noted that a few of the players who were up this past weekend for their official were just able to leave the New York yesterday and made their arrival home late yesterday evening.

Also with National Signing Day 2016 around the corner, we are preparing to bring you full coverage throughout the day, as the Army Black Knight coaching staff is assembling another outstanding recruiting class, but there are still several I’s to be dotted and T’s to be crossed before the Big Day!

Army Football Recruit Official Visits

USMA74
Army Football Recruit official visits- some details reported of a visit in Coach Monken's first recruiting year:

"Prospects and their parents come to our campus from across the nation and typically get here on Friday. They'll arrive on Friday afternoon and we'll get them from the airport. We provide transportation, we go and get them, some of the parent's choose to rent cars and they drive and some of our prospects drive in, the ones that are closer. They all arrive here on Friday afternoon or so and typically they'll come up to the Kimsey Center and the coaches will greet them and welcome them to campus and we go check them into the Hotel Thayer, the hotel on campus, and then get them back up here for dinner.

We have a dinner that we do here in the building (Kimsey). The food services department here on campus does the meal for us, they do a great job. We eat all of our meals and we do everything here on campus for the recruiting weekends. Then we take them to the bottom of the hill by Thayer Gate with their cadet hosts, which are our players and coaches, and we have a bowling and pizza party and then come back up to this building to the stadium "A" room, which is a gathering area for some of our groups on game day. We have a `make your own ice cream sundae' bar and then they go back to the hotel and they're typically back there by 10 or 10:30 pm.

"Saturday morning we wake up, we have breakfast here on campus, they do tours of campus, we do a presentation at the library and talk about the academic programs and the opportunities after graduation, tours of the facilities, tours of the barracks, we take them to the cadet chapel, we have lunch on campus with a group of professors from the different academic areas and they represent the different service areas, artillery, armor, infantry, whatever it may be, so the parents and prospects can ask questions. In the afternoon, we bring them back here to the Kimsey Center for more football related things. We take them through the facilities, show them the locker room, the equipment room and take them through the stadium. Then in the evening, we'll have dinner at the Firstie Club, which is on campus, it's a gathering place for all of our first class cadets. We have dinner for them there with the parents, prospects and hosts.

"From there we let the prospects and hosts board a bus which takes them to the Palisades Mall, which has been done for years here. I was new on the job at the time and was what had been done and we continued to do that. They go down to the mall and are gone just over three hours. When they return to the Thayer Hotel by bus, our staff is there waiting for them and they are back by 11 pm.

When they get up in the morning and eat breakfast and then the prospects come over and have a one-on-one meeting with me and their parents. And then we send them off to the airport.

A.M. Allan
With National Signing Day just around the corner, the Monken lead Army coaching staff has done another solid job in assembling an outstanding recruiting class.

Will the 2016 group of commits top the very impressive 2015 crew, where many made their mark this past season as freshmen who made impact in either starting or receiving significant reps? Only time will tell.

But in the meantime, get ready for our two part series as GBK breaks down who we think are the Top 12 commits on defensive and the Top 12 commits on offense ... STAY TUNED!
