I-AA dude. They beat SDSU last season and almost knocked off Wisconsin. That right there is a better season than ours...

The Cal Poly and Hofstra offers were related to Sterling Moore, the JUCO DB out of Cali. evidently the coaching staff found him late and think he's a sleeper. JJ & staff are evidently in the minority on this one but "some" are saying he's going to be a steal. we'll find out

Cal Poly
Hofstra
Sacramento St.
Massachusetts
Eastern Michigan

Ahh. Still not impressed, we could have beat SDSU.

I went to b-ball camp at Cal Poly when I was growing up and my high school gym was bigger. They are the Mustangs though!

I'm not passing judgement on his skills. I have nowhere near the football knowledge to make that call (that's for you Phil!), I just like making fun of schools that aren't bastions of D-1a football and in power conferences like our beloved 'Stangs...

I guess I have to assume your list is correct, but I find it hard to believe our rival from just west of here didn't offer ONE or our recruits? And just a few years ago we were competing for the same players? Are we THAT far behind TCU?
