2018 Football Recruits

[HOF2013]

 

 

Burying the lede above is that Will Fiacchi is on the coaching staff.

 

Wide Receivers Coach Recruiting Coordinator University at Albany

Why is our former QB in charge of scouting receivers? Lol.

 

Defense coach as OC and QB scouting receivers...to me that makes little sense.

 

 

Happens all the time. Offensive players coaching different positions, recruiting different positions. Doesn't have to just do the position they played. New Giants coach was an offensive lineman in college. In the NFL he was a WR coach, QB coach and offensive coordinator.

 

 

 

I thought maybe a little more discussion was in order. By the way, these coaches are not out there in the wind scouting kids. The entire staff discusses each kid, looks at video and agrees to make the offer. So ultimately it doesn't matter who goes and meets with the kid. If they REALLY want someone Coach Gatusso and a couple of others go and meet the family and the kid.

Funny tweet about Fiacchi from Mason Gray.

Coaches have been watching this guy >> Hozey Haji-Badri 6’4 280 lbs DL and

Does anybody have any idea how the free tuition for New York State Residents has worked into the scheme. Seems like more guys being offered and committing this year

THEY MAY BE OUT OF SCHOLARSHIPS!!

Well - one of the best classes I have seen coming in. Addressed some needs. Several of the guys we offered still haven't signed anywhere. Signing can happen any time now for a couple of months. They likely have to be accepted into the school before they sign. Or we may have just ran out of scholarships!
