Outed or pie in the sky recruiting tool?

“I just really loved the coaches and the whole staff,’’ Nittolo said. “It’s really up and coming and they’re moving to Conference USA soon. The new coaches I really like and I just loved the facilities and the school campus itself.’’

James Madison, which competes on the Division I-FCS level in the Colonial Athletic Association, is on the verge of moving up to the Division I-FBS level in the near future in Conference USA, according to Nittolo, though nothing official has been announced.

“I don't think it was as big as a decision as most people would think it is,’’ said Nittolo of James Madison’s impending move to the FBS playing level.

James Madison recently hired Ohio State defensive coordinator Everett Whithers as its new head coach.

I remember a comment from one of our recruits a few years back that was basically the exact same thing. How'd that work out!? I imagine that coaches will use anything they can to get kids to commit, including being somewhat dishonest about future conference affiliations.

IIRC, there was some "C-USA talk" among some of our recruits/parents 12-15 months ago. Zack Matics & Zack's dad come immediately to mind as being among the name-droppers. I won't believe it until I hear it directly from C-USA's B.Banowsky.

I still say that with the new pay-out structure for Gof5, there is no reason for c-usa to add.

Wide receiver Malachi Jones (Lawrenceville, Ga./Central Gwinnett) put up some monster numbers as a senior and grabbed the attention of a few schools. One was Appalachian State, which he visited this weekend.

"He committed to Appalachian State this morning," said Todd Wofford, Central Gwinnett's coach. "They are moving to Conference USA in two seasons, and he wanted to be a part of that. He loves their facilities, the guys on the team and the stadium. He likes how they spread the ball out and says he can come in a make an immediate impact."
