Regardless of what happens with Kittles, PJ Fleck deserves a great deal of credit for recruiting well at WMU. They have never a football power, Fleck went 1-11 in his only season so far there yet they had the best recruiting year in the MAC last season and are off to a great start this season as well. Great at least as MAC standards go...

Not bad for a guy who was the Rutgers WR coach in 2010-11 and lived to tell the tale.

huh? something's fishy here unless he didn't have a committable offer. Maybe Gerald Robinson took his offer when he committed.

Committing to a MAC school early has little if any impact on our recruiting. This staff has already shown in numerous cases over the past 2 recruiting cycles that they can go out and poach recruits from MAC schools that either fill a need or that developed well their senior years.

It's still odd as just up to a few days ago he was retweeting an I Love NY tweet of Coach McDonald. As we all know, nothing is a done deal until LOI day.

Also have to remember his HC was a WR at WMU. It does seem like he was a little further down the list. I am sure if we want to get back involved he would listen

I really like this kid, and he obviously has love for us. Best of luck to him and maybe if the cards fall the right way he can still find his way here.

I want a kid like Kittles who wants US. Hope we have room.

Hunt confirms #WesternMichigan CB commit Richie Kittles (@RichieKittles) also is leaving #Stranahan for #Dillard. #flhsfb

After their Coach Willie Hill was fired and replaced there has been a major exodus out of the program. Does not bode well for Stranahan FB.

If this kid is any good he'll blow up at Dillard, football factory

Western Michigan is having a heck of a recruiting year.

Western Michigan is having a heck of a recruiting year.

ya, especially for a team that won one game (1pt vs. 1win Umass). 5 three star recruits committed. 17 total.

Kids really wanna row that boat.

Was thinking the same thing.

Guess who FAU's new RB coach is? Former University School head coach (former SU RB coach) Roger Harriott!! I guess Harriott coached Scarlett and apparently Harriott is getting some kids attention in SoFla.

Just happened upon this. Was it common knowledge that Roger Harriott was named the new HC of St Thomas Aquinas HS, replacing Rocco Casullo?

Roger really gets around.

Yes, he announced that he was leaving his job at FAU to take care of his sick parents in Jamaica. Then a week later he was named HC at STA. His folks got better, quickly.

Wow, surprised STA took a chance on him with his job history. That being said, he seems like a nice guy who genuinely cares about kids. Most of the time anyway...
