Expect the expected

We’re just hours away from National Signing Day and my best guess is that Marshall fans can rest easy. Marshall has secured a third straight recruiting class long on speed, but with a lessened emphasis on linemen compared to the previous two years. Expect the expected today, with few if any surprises. Especially considering the five junior college recruits already on campus combined with the strong push in the last two weeks, this is another strong class. We’ll discuss at length over the next few days.
