Back to the topic of bringing people in.

I went to FDU as a frosh in 1998. I was one of about 30, maybe more, people coming in. By the time my Senior year came there were 2 of us left from our recruiting class!! i recall a lot of people leaving during camp in the middle of the night my frosh year. A lot of people failed out, as did I, but I came back. I think the main to reasons why people leave is; They dont want to start back at the bottom after a senior year, academics, and dedication during the season and the off season.

The Source is a pinerider or has big brother on the team.

As for Bill's weight program. I loved it and benefited from it!

Billman56,

sorry to bust your bubble but FDU won not Juniata. Read the press release. I saw it on the scoreboard too and was disapointed at first. FDU looked better this year. Making progress. Possibly over .500 next year.

Pat,

Ive LIVED the spirit of D3 football and I was greatful I was able to get a non-medical red shirt. I dont see the harm since a lot of students dont completely finish school in four years.

Linernation,

if your son hasnt told you, the first thing youll notice at a game is size and speed (even at the d3 level, it's different from HS). If they dont have JV games just support him and possibly go to a few games. If he gets red shirted, thats great, he gets another year. He should learn from the older guys. When I was a frosh, there were 2-3 all conference players ahead of me and i faced an All-American OL everyday in practice, all of this only made me a better player. Plus the off-season workouts will make him better as well.

He's starting all over again. Just like when he was  fros. or soph. in high school.
If he plays as a frosh. that will just be an awsome experience.

No, it's more like only 2,000.  The biggest problem I saw when I was there was keeping guys on the team and on campus. Even I failed out for a semester, but I went to community college, came back and sat out a season.  But  I dont ever recall a 100 guys reporting to camp, so guys not sticking around really hurt every year.

FDU is bring in over 100 recruits two years in a row!!
Coach Mosca is doing a great job at FDU. 
In my recruiting class we had maybe 50 and it was like that for years to follow.
Nice to see they're making progress.
