Recruiting season getting interesting

It’s about to get very interesting. Marshall is further along in its recruiting at this point than any other year in recent history. This will allow coaches to do extra homework on prospects and spend added time with them on visits during this month. At least two highly-regarded junior college prospects, including the nation’s No. 1 tight end, remain very much interested in the Herd. Entering recruiting season’s stretch run, are you pleased thus far and what needs to happen between now and signing day (Feb. 6), to make this class special? Look forward to the conversation.
