We're going to need a kicker in a couple.   9-9 inside 45 yds and 17 straight (an Ohio HS record)
Has limited in range because that kind of accuracy should get you and OSU offer.  For me, I'll take everything inside 45 and he has a more than a year before getting to YSU, so he can work on leg strength.
Looks like good prospect.

QB #2 ought to bring his buddy WR #3 with him.
Cunningham tends to have a long windup throwing motion, and that will have to be corrected, but athleticly he looks real solid.

Good catch Go, but it does look likes he stays ahead of his receivers in deeper vertical throws. That might be how he does it.

I agree.  Kids coming from very successful programs already understand the relationship between hard work and success.  That makes Pelini's job easier as he defines our culture.

Winners win.  That's why I never understood the Tebow thing.  He won in HS, won big time in Florida and won when he had a chance in Denver.  I think his religious beliefs played a bigger roll in that than will even be reported.  But I degress, the winning football kids will win here to.  Don't ignore the Cardinal Mooney pipeline as well.  We have several and they are going to help.

Another:

Aaron Ervin: 6-5, 285 OL from Springboro, OH.

Interesting pick-up. This is a team that we need to be all-over & in that region that Montgomery likes to recruit from.  They have a good pair of coaches and have really become strong over the past few years in the GWOC (D1), but I noticed they have yet to advance out in the play-off. If that 285lbs is not too inflated. I wonder if we are looking at him for OT or OG? 3.68 GPA is nice to see. We will have him for the duration. Says he had 3 camp invites. Was 1st-team all Michigan at the camp. Mention in all-Midwest camp. Also went through Dayton MSR just a couple of months ago and weighed in at 258 (could be a typo, but not likely), with a power index of just under 30, which is real good.

From Midwest Elite camp final rundown:

 ... A couple offensive linemen also emerged. In the 2018 class, Trey Livingood was excellent. He played center despite playing other positions in high school and we like his potential in the middle. Luke Martin showed why he has several D1 offers as he is a strong kid with good technique. He has several D1 schools in contact. Will Christopher from Illinois (North Mac HS) had a good day as well. Charlie O'Connor had several good reps against the better defensive linemen at the camp as did Aaron Ervin and Nathan Grey both from Ohio. ...

I know you said not likely, but hopefully it is a typo and they transposed the 5 and 8 so it should have been 285... lol
