Any summaries of recruits for the other MIAA schools for this fall?

Lindy's ranked Trine #5 in their pre-season football poll.  The Sporting News has Trine ranked #20.

One poll for Trine is to high, the other may be too low at the pre-season. We see how it is mid- season and beyond!

In your humble opinion, anyway...

Shout out to Chris Greenwood of Albion.  Lindy's put Chris on their 2010 All-D3 First Team Defense.  Congratulations!  Nice to see an individual MIAA player recognized.

I guess polls are just what they are, opinions, some may be humble others not so much, IMHO!

The MIAA will have some coaches checking out the Sound Mind Sound Body Football Academy in Detroit this weekend. Adrian is sending three coaches, Hope and Olivet are sending two each.

Pretty sad if it takes a Calvin fan to wake up the board.
Here's to another undefeated season for the Knights!

I am unsure why the MIAA board is not more active. Maybe now, since there is at least one playoff team Trine and maybe another Adrian, it will begin to energize other fans/supporters. Since I lived in Michigan for 4 years, I became familiar many of the schools, but as a Mount alum and former player, I support the OAC. For a long time the most cosnsistent MIAA poster has been Former 3db, but he could use more posters!

There are not a lot of new developments going on that the average MIAA poster has access to.  Our kids aren't in school now so we don't get football related news from them.  Many of us don't have pipe-lines directly to the coaches or administrations to hear their talk of recruits, etc...  I think also that a lot of us are busy right now trying to pay for our kids super education.   

I am sure that once there is more to talk about, and connections re-established, it will pick up.

Ziggy, why doesn't Calvin have a football program?  Has it ever been considered?  It looks like their enrollment is over 2-3x that the other MIAA schools.  I understand their track program is very good.  Just curious.

Thanks for the update, maybe you can increase the interest and participation!
