So is Spring ball/practice going on right now?  Or is it already over?

I know, I know...it's only April and I'm excited for next year...

[ADL70]

Already over- -began March 18. Finals this week. Hopefully we'll see full recruiting class within a week or so.

Chicago has already posted theirs.

I don't mind that Thomas More has quality all throughout their 60 kid freshman classes... Helps develop depth.

CWRU released its 29 player class today.

Lots of beef for the O-line.

Gotta protect Cuda for 2 more years!

Check out the video on WR Austin Navarette from TX.

http://recruit-match.ncsasports.org/clientrms/athletes/1503391?access_type=COACH_QUERY

Says he's 6'3", 200, and 4.5 sec. 40 time with a 32 on his ACT.

How does someone with those numbers not get picked up by a Stanford, Northwestern, or Duke?  That type of size and forty time, if accurate, is usually Division I-FBS level.

In his video, he looks like a STUD!!!!

I hope we can figure out ways to have Cuda get the ball in this guy's hands several times per game!  He looks absolutely DEADLY after the catch!

OL already looks good for next two years. Six returnees have at least five starts each and four received postseason recognition.

Justin Northwest HS is a good area and the school is 5A out of 6 classifications (About 2600 pupils in the top 4 grades).

He can play.

First practice is August 14.

Check it out--a US college football map from 1938.  On the map are three PAC programs with long, storied histories:

Washington and Jefferson
[Case] Western Reserve
Carnegie Tech (Mellon)

Interesting. I suspect the map looked quite different 10 years later. I know W&J would not be there as they had deemphasized football by then.

W&J recently announced that 45 members football team will be going to Italy to tour the country and play a game against an Italian team.  Great opportunity for them! Here is the link

Haven't checked the boards much in the offseason, so I just saw this, but that's pretty cool.

One of the fun things about D3 football, IMO.  I know that international travel is expensive so this is off the menu for many programs (unless they do their own fundraising for the trip), but it seems like a really cool way to get some cultural experience for the kids who can make the trip.  Surely one of the Case guys will remind me, didn't they do something similar in the last couple years?

Yes CWRU went to Italy last summer.  Per Spartan Mom whose son participated, the players had to pay their own way.  Spartans Men's Soccer went to Brazil this summer as has Men's Basketball in the past.  I believe such trips can be mad once every four years per NCAA rules.

It's every three years, but yes.

On the Case website I see only 4 assistant coaches. Is that correct?
