The Inside Stuff GBK EARLY NATIONAL SIGNING DAY CENTRAL

Today is the day that has been termed “Early Signing Day” and GoBlackKnights.com plans to be front and center throughout this day.

This is a very exciting time for recruits, their family and friends, along with fans as tons of prospects sign early today.

The GBK team will be following Army commits and their signing moments and updates from A.M. Allan and video interviews from Joe Iacono, so keep it right here.

QB: are we looking for a unicorn?

It seems Army and Navy, Air Force to a lesser degree, has really struggled as of late to find and keep healthy a QB that can run their offenses? Obviously O-Line play is critical to our schemes, as with any offense; however, we have had some very difficult time finding a talent that can execute the true option, take the pounding of the inside/off tackles runs, and be accurate enough to provide some balance in the passing attack. Additionally, We see a clear trend of more crowding and attacking defenses with 8 in the box. I also think the transfer portal is resulting in more mature, bigger, better talented players making there way from Power 5 depth charts filtering into the lesser conferences as starters that present a greater talent gap with the service academies compared to a few years ago. Add in the ban against cut blocking on the perimeter. Are these elements combining to create a condition that it’s nearly impossible to find a talent at QB to reliably make our offense , as designed, work?

I am looking forward to this 2023 recruiting class!

Now that our season has ended and on a good note, I am going to be paying close attention to where we are with recruiting. By the way, thank goodness and unlike so many other schools, we don't have to be on top of the transfer portal.

Official Army-Navy (12/10) Game Prediction Thread

Here we go, folks. This past Saturday was Rivalry Week for so many traditional head-to-head matchups. Michigan's win over Ohio State surprised so many football analysts but didn't surprise anyone from the state of Michigan .... LOL. That is what such rivalry games do. However, the most unique rivalry game has a Saturday all to its own and that is our game ... Army vs Navy.

And although the game is a couple of weeks away, let the predictions start. IMO, this game is going to be very very close and despite Navy's slow start and their overall record, they have a quality team. For us, we won't know the game mindset of our Black Knights until the game starts and progresses. Which Army team will show up?

Anyway, here is my prediction.

Army 20
Navy 17

What separates us on this day, is a game winning field goal.
