I've gotta post something.  How can Salve beat two teams in the last two weeks, and Worc beat WPI this week and nobody from either leagues be on here posting?  I follow here because my son looked at Salve a couple years ago and I really liked the Head Coach. 

Congrats to Coach Chesney on winning another game against a strong out of league opponent!  He's doing everything he said he was going to when we were there looking.  I think he's got a good blueprint for building a very strong program!

Congratulations to Coach Chesney and the Salve Football team for their win against Montclaire yesterday. I was so looking forward to the game and was not disappointed!

My son plays for Salve and I agree with fulbakdad that Coach Chesney really IS doing everything he said he wanted to do with the football program.  It's a work in progress, that is definitely going in the right direction!

Congrats on both OOC wins!

Good Luck with the upcoming conference league games!  GO SEAHAWKS!

Looking forward to the game.....GO SEAHAWKS!!!

My son was recruited by a couple teams here.  I will say, the Salve coach was at the top of my list in this league.  He was upbeat, positive and very believable.  I see him turning this program around.

My son is going to Salve and we felt the same about the coach.

Dunliegh,  it was not Western New England but a school in that division.  We passed on some  schools for the same reasons.....we were tired of driving around or the distance.  We did regret not starting our visits earlier so that we could have went to more schools.  But we do feel confident with his choice.  (but not liking the 5 hour ride to see the games)

He is working out hard and our games start labor day weekend.

My husband can not wait! He's been waiting for this for 12 years! (Hopefully he wont be waiting another year or two.)  (ha ha)       

Hi Dunliegh,

I am also a new parent to the D3 football post.  I just wanted to let you know that my son was also being recruited in the MAC division and some schools in the New England area.  He was being recruited by some DIV II, but mostly DIV III. We visited quite a few schools and were told basically the same things by each school.  It sounded a lot like what you were being told.  We also concluded after our visits that coaches will say anything to get you to go to their school.  I do however have a lot of respect for these coaches..they do put a lot of time and effort into their recruiting process. 

My son decided to go with a New England School.  We are from Pennsylvania.   We turned this school down quite a few times because we felt it was too far.  Then one day (late in the recruiting process) we got another call and decided to give it a try.  I'm glad that coach was persistent and glad we decided to take the trip because my son really liked it.     

We hope he sees some playing time this year but...as the coach stated .....whether you are the number 1 recruit or the number 6 recruit....the best player plays!  So who knows....we will have to wait and see.  So as you see we are in the same boat as you. 

I wish you the best of luck with your son and the upcoming football season!
