minus 1 QB

I wondered what we would do with 5 QB's. This makes sense, Best of luck Reilly!

I felt like this was coming too. Best wishes Reily!

Bummer to lose Reilly, but I had a feeling he was transferring after what Gage did this year.

 

[Atomic Eagle]

I was worried Reilly might transfer out but I totally understand why. I still think he has the talent to start at EWU, but with GG solidified as the starter and EBIII coming into his RS Freshman year most likely as the #2 this makes sense.

I had a feeling we were going to be losing a QB when I saw that we signed two. Good luck Reilly!

Barriere will absolutely challenge Gubrud for the starting spot.

 

[Eags12]

Great class! No Caleb Davis?

 

[Obzerver]

Great job SE...glad you're on our team! Can you play running back?...we didn't sign a RB?

He is going to kill it there. He would have killed it here!

 

[Rjones61]

Also seem to be missing Cody Clements.

CWU could win it all this year if he has any support at all (not familiar with the players at CWU). Good Luck Reilly.

That's a Great Class! Hate to see Hennessy transfer to down Central, he has lots of talent. I'm surprised there aren't at least 2 RB commits. Anyone know why?

Relatively deep already, could be waiting on that possible transfer from Boise State, and/or like Taiwan, Gurley might make a switch or play both sides. He's electric as a runner.

EDIT: From the GoEags write-up:

Best on No Running Backs on List: "The one position we didn't feel like we needed to address in the now was the running back position. We feel we have young players there who are going to be very effective moving forward, and we're excited at that position. We determined that if we found a running back that really fits us we try to sign him, but if not we'll look at the class of 2018."

To All,
Enjoyed the Killing EWU did this morning with NLI. WE got 19 Players, don't know if Scholarships or not. going to miss Reilly Hennessey, he will definitely start at Central. Saw 3 of our former Players at the NLI, Aaron Neary with Phil, Jake Rodgers, Carolina, and Clay DeBorg, Dallas. Can't wait for April for startng practices. Also met our QB Coach from Oklahoma State. Well got to run. Check you later. Vic E. Wallace

Sort of a bummer deal for Hennessy; he's a quality QB. He'd start for most Big Sky teams. Best of luck to him at Central!

We recruited 3 RBs last year, as well as having McPherson back. We really don't run enough to have more than four active RBs (and that doesn't even include guys we may line up occasionally as a fullback). How often do we come out in a two back set? Aside from short yardage situations, never.

I don't know who else saw this, but Bodnar signed Montana's Gatorade Player of the Year and NHSA Player of the Year Britt Delridge from Sentinal High in Missoula. Theis was the icing on a great soccer recruiting class, and a big pick-up from "foreign territory." I love what this guy is doing with that program!
