No, seriously.
Sure, they aren’t the Big Ten, but several Big Ten teams play at least one MAC school every year, so it may be interesting to see how the schools from the other conference in the Midwest are doing. There will also be a post-signing day edition of the MAC recruiting rankings.

I actually think a couple of Central’s commits are underrated by Rivals. Redd, for example, got a pretty good look from Michigan at their summer camp. Same goes for Akuezue. He is rated low now because he is a DE who weighs about 30 pounds soaking wet, but he was virtually unblockable at Michigan’s camp. If he can add weight and maintain his explosiveness, he could be a very good player down the road.

Tags: Recruiting, still not football
while i’m somewhat nonplussed as to the purpose of this posting, i do have one question:
Any chance we snake oil any of those 3*s from CMU? We have a slight need at both of those positions. Not major needs, but slight ones.
Ouch. Toledo is almost always one of the teams competing for the MAC championship. Have they always been this bad at recruiting, or is this a bad year for them?
Re Toledo, that is what happens when the FBI is investigating your program!
