Any news on how the recruiting classes are coming along?

SNCOLDAD · April 20, 2009, 08:58:50 AM

Hello WK21. Welcome. Since you are brand new to here I would like to welcome you to the MWC forum. OK. Now that I have done the proper thing, I am trying to figure out from your name who you are a fan of. It is somewhat difficult to know too much as the existing team may not even know who is coming in. It is always taking a chance because things can change over the summer even on where a player may go.

I will ask my son and see if he has heard anything at all. The best bet may be if they know of a transfer from JC or another college. But believe me, you can have a great player from high school come in and they just cannot cut it. It is a major difference.

Actually, I am a Monmouth College recruit trying to decide where I want to go to school next year.

To make this short, Im pretty interested in if I know any of the guys I coiuld possibly be playing with for the next four years.

My other school is Augie, but Im about 80% on going to Monmouth due to the price. I would have to pay an extra $9000 dollars a year for Augie, and to be honest, Augustana is a good school but I don't think it is a total of $36000 better than Monmouth.

Good for you WK21. You have a tough decision to make. Both are good schools. My son has friends that go to Augie. Good luck in your choice and I am sure you will do what is right for you. Where are you going to high school if I can ask. And also, what position have you been playing? Just curious.

I go to LeRoy High School...

My senior year was my second year playing any form of football, so Im pretty excited to continue in college because I know I have alot of potential left in me.

Anyway I'm going to be playing cornerback, which I think is one of the main points of emphasis for Monmouth this off season..

here's my highlight film...lol I had to change my music, but I think you will still enjoy it.

WK21 - I know SNCOLDAD says it's a tough decision to make, but this is an easy one...go to Monmouth.

lol, thanks for your input...

I will most likely end up there..
either way I know I will be well off.

I visited tons of schools and none of them compared to Augie or Monmouth, except Wesleyan (but that was too close to home for me)

SNCOLDAD · April 20, 2009, 02:47:04 PM

Ah yes. I see you are from downstate. I am sure you will enjoy Monmouth. And you probably stand a good chance of playing your freshman year there.

But be careful of Maverick. He is very biased in his opinion.

Oh Wait. So Am I.

Im just working to get on the special teams as of right now..and work from there.

It's kinda weird because my school played Monmouth Roseville this year as our non-conf. game. The facilities, coaching, and the fact that they generally recruit small town guys really drew me to Monmouth

SNCOLDAD · April 20, 2009, 03:16:03 PM

I have to tell you. D3 Football is the best!

WK21:

Or you could cross the river and attend Wartburg. The Orange Knights were undefeated in the MWC last year.

SNCOLDAD · April 21, 2009, 09:14:58 AM

Cold Warthog. Real Cold.

But they will be 0-1 after the first week this year.

Beloit could use some help in the secondary. You'd have a good chance of being a 4 year starter there.

WK21 · April 21, 2009, 11:18:27 AM

lol thanks guys, but it's a little late in the recruiting process. Besides, I know a lot of guys that play at Monmouth which is also part of the equation.

Alex Tanney, Kyle Wantland, Sean Wells, and about four others are all from my conference so Im pretty pumped to play with them.

And practice against Tanney!
