Recruiting Wars

Looks like in the last 24 hrs we lost OT Bo Alexander to App St. and CB Dominieke Jones to AFA. You have to expect losses in this business. But we had wins with OL Ethan Palelei (who now shows as an Army commit) and FB Drue Harris - both of whom seemed to have offers from other academies.

I would love to see an article or analyses of the remaining fence sitters and where they might end up. And also some informed speculation about who some other surprise commits might be that have not been mentioned up to this point either by name or position.

GBK: RB Donovan Franklin Update

Franklin was scheduled to take his official visit to Army on 2/6, but because of a conflict in his schedule, he made his way up on Thursday for an unofficial. During the conclusion of his visit, he verbally committed to become a Black Knight.

Of course, we will have more on Franklin's pledge later today, along with that "NJ" prospect who will be on campus today, as we will follow up to announce his commitment as well.

GBK: Another big recruiting weekend (official visits)

As you can imagine, it's crunch time and there will be plenty to report this weekend, as both recruits and coaches get ready to put the final touches on the 2015 recruiting class (for the most part).

We know at least two prospects who will be verbally committing this weekend and we bring that to you, soon after they give their pledge to the staff … so stay tune.

Also look for our "Parent's Perspective" article on one of Army's top commits from this year's recruiting class. That will be up at 5pm EST.

Plus there is much more to come, as we continue to look at the current group of players on the roster and the impact they need to have in order for Army to have a successful 2015 campaign. That is our "Breakout" updates.

Of course the BIGGIE is our National Signing Day coverage and all the info surrounding our coverage will be up on the front page this weekend.

Height of DB/RB recruits

Don't know if anyone else has noticed but 10 of our commits listed as DB/RB are 5'9" or smaller. Two are 5'7". Knowing how height and weight numbers are often inflated, my hunch is some are even smaller than listed.
Seems pretty clear it's part of the recruiting strategy....get little, fast guys who may be flying under the radar because of their height. Hope it works. It just seems like an extraordinary number to me.
