News Flash: Just look and see who he beat out for those 2-4-star guys and some of the 3-star guys. He obviously can identify talent and "sell" them on WMU. I understand results on the field are completely different. Still, I'd like to see our staff go after guys like this and get them to Athens. Say what you want, his class is identified as a Top 50 class by the "experts"...where is OUrs?
Ohio went after that level of talent, too, they just didn't land them. Look at all the players Ohio offered and lost to Big Ten teams. A few years ago they were always losing to other MAC schools, and now they usually win over them, but still lose almost always to Big Tenfinity teams. Maybe wtih more progress, they will win those more often, too. One thing Fleck has going for him is that he's excitable, and energetic, and young. By contrast Solich is more reserved, and older. In the longer term, though, I think that unless Fleck can win, his recruiting will dry up. By contrast, as Solich has shown he can win, and go to bowls, his recruiting is steadily improving (though not as fast as some would like).
