Boo-Yah!

 

UAlbany fans help us officially welcome mid year signee Mike Madaras (UMD / Good Counsel, MD) to the #PURPLEFAM #CAAFB#NSD #GC

 

 

Also, I looked closely, and thought this one said "LCC":

 

UAlbany fans help us officially welcome mid year signee Dan Harding (Sierra College / Nazareth, PA) to the #PURPLEFAM#CAAFB #NSD

25 minutes with no announcements....still waiting on Thompson and Echols.

[uofalbany]

Anyone know how many players left/will be leaving the team through graduation this year?

[uofalbany]

Didn't realize that Mike Maderas was a starting LT on Maryland.

Impressive. Good to see his commit.

[BestDaneSinceHamlet]

Is he coming in as a soph or jr?

[Dane96]

So here's the list so far. It's been a bang-up job by this new staff, and the old staff. WOW...what a group. Instantly a better program with this class and the RS then we were last season. Hopefully tougher as well. Turnor Echols and Dershante Thompson...that would be icing on the cake. Both are big time players.

 

I am not sure what position they are playing Malachi Hoskins because the twitter feed I saw didn't list him as a DE or WR. They did say we recruited 3 OLB's...so my guess is based on his size...that's what he's been recruited to play.

 

Great group...and welcome to the Purple Fam. I will update this as new signings come in...

 

Elliot Croskey RB 6'1 200 CBA; Albany, NY

Fousenni Troare- NO INFO!!!

 

So, before people get crazy...I think the Dan Harding signing is brilliant. Gives Shanley some time to adjust...and he will have to adjust to college. I wouldn't be surprised to see Fiacchi transfer if he doesn't step up to the plate. Dan Harding was the Pennsylvania AAAA 2011 player of the year. He's got a funky motion but he wins.

Mike will be a Jr. Two years with us.

 

He's RIDICULOUSLY GOOD. He had a down year...and I think it was a Coach/Player issue. He's so good that it was a "GET" for Maryland. He started as a Frosh...and destroyed people. Last year he sunk back a bit.

[uofalbany]

And that happens at times when a player doesn't feel comfortable where he's at.....

Yep, I believe so.

 

This QB race is WIDE open. As it should be.

[BestDaneSinceHamlet]

So other than Shanley madaras and Roberson any other three stars?

Anyone remember how 4 years ago we couldn't even get a press release with names of signed kids. Now we got twitter going, press conference etc.

 

Nice growth...
