For some time now, RB Sean Samuels has had Army and Navy as his two favorites. Come inside for GBK's exclusive video interview with the RB, his highlights & more.

Senior to be CB, Josh Jenkins

Took him four years to install all of the program. No short cuts.

Just thought, while a bit tangential, it was interesting given the Army rebuild and the debates on this board.

When the word got out relative to two coaching changes, some commits/recruits began to inquire as to their status with the Army Black Knights.

QB/Athlete, Thomas Wyatt

I know this is not very timely. I hope JM is our coach for several more years. But living in SoCal, it boggles my mind how SDSU coach Rocky Long has never come up in our coaching searches. He ran the TO in college. He has an affinity for this offense and would run it if he could recruit SoCal kids to play it. Has had tremendous success 75% winning percentage against it. He has avg 9 wins over the last 5 years with SDSU, he never won less than 4 games. Had taken New Mexico to bowls. Recently won 2 MWC titles. another bowl game today , caning Cinci. I dont think the athletes he gets are very much beyond Academy athletes. They are a team I have seen us play live and the eyeball test proves my previous statement. I think there is a good chance we chose RE over him just bc RE brother attended WP. If for some reason JM implodes over the next few years he should be at the top of our list.

I believe he also has a son who attends BYU.

Nice update on him, but with our strong need to recruit at DT/NG ... GBK team, can you share with me why you are projecting him at OG?

The 2015 season is over and the 2-10 record was disappointing, but now it's that time of year when GBK’s Senior Writer Gordon Larson looks back at what has been and try to look forward to what is to be.

I continue to be confused be the recruiting calender.

According to the calendar posted on Friday, we are in a "dead" period which I thought precluded all contact except phone calls.

The calendar also says we are in a "quiet" period.

Nice artcle about Coach DeWitt's visit with various recruits in Florida. And, love and respect the work ethic of this staff.

So, two questions: 1) How is the overlap of "dead" and "quiet" reconciled? And, 2) May we attend and actively recruit at post season all-star games during these period, eg. The Polynesian All Star Game?

GBK family l must be honest and throw this out there. During the infamous 14 game losing streak Navy has had a distinct advantage over us in three crucial areas: 1) Coaching; 2) QB play; 3)Talent/Depth. However, changes are being made before our eyes and our future looks extremely bright! Let me explain why I am so optimistic and do so using the three key areas mentioned above:

1) Coaching - For most of the current losing streak Navy has had Paul Johnson and Ken Niumatalolo manning their sidelines. Even though it is ingrained in us to not like the "Squids" you have to give them credit and respect for hiring these two great coaches. Johnson has gone on to revive the GT program and Niumatalolo has guided Navy to 8 straight wins over us. The great news is that over the past two years Coach Monken and staff have closed the coaching gap. In fact I would say that they out coached their Navy counterparts this year in our game. We know for a fact that we are keeping our head coach and continuity on the coaching staff which will be to our advantage moving forward. Navy not so much...

Coaching - Advantage Army

2) QB Play - For the past 14 years we have rolled through some less than stellar QB play while Navy has run out guys like Dobbs and Reynolds. And yes Reynolds is the second best QB in the history of Navy football only behind some stud named Roger Staubach who won the Heisman Trophy. Not exactly a fair fight. In every offense the QB is the most important player. Poor QB play has caused us to underperform in overall decision making under center and in the TO battle. And over the past 14 years we have not consistently exploited the third option in the triple option which is the pitch to the slot back. CC did a much better job over the past two games of using that option, attacking the outside and our offense looked much better moving the ball (sans the turnovers). He is a Plebe and will only improve moving forward so I think we win this battle over the next few years.

QB Play - Advantage Army

3) Talent/Depth - For those who follow our recruiting wars over the past two seasons we have out recruited our service academy rivals (if you believe the "Rankings"). Navy had 10 senior starters on offense and are losing a bunch of really good players. Reynolds to name an important one. We are young and will improve with experience. Watch the final recruiting rankings for the Class of 2016. We will again have a better ranked class than Navy or Air Farce. Our talent and depth is improving. Going forward I do not want to hear anyone use the excuse that we are not as talented as our counterparts. Because it is simply not true.

Talent/Depth - Even

Summary
I have played for this great program and then followed it "religiously" since R-Day in 1990. We have been in a valley for a while and we are cresting the hill right now. I have watched Air Farce's program steadily decline over the past 3-4 years. Navy should lose a great coach and will decline as well. We have a competitive advantage in 2 of the 3 key areas listed above. I see a new streak starting and it will be Army West Point winning C-I-Cs starting next season. Book it and book us for at least 8 wins and a bowl game next season. The time is now!!!

GEAUX ARMY - BEAT'EM ALL!!!

I was wondering if anyone here was willing to create a group for the Yahoo pick-em for posters here on this site - can call it the 12th Knight or whatever.

Not the news we needed today. I wonder where he is going? He was one of our highest rated commits.
