Re: Brayon Freeman

To add to Blue Man speculation of maybe getting a Seton Hall transfer. Woodward was lead recruiter for Jaquan Sanders, 6-4 G, 4 stars. He stayed after Willard left but is playing less and less. Players in this situation often transfer.

Still curious where Makszin and Brown will end up. Looks like Makszin's best offer is Ball St. Otherwise a bunch of FCS teams.
Brown was talking Rutgers and Florida St. But why would they be interested in someone with 10 tackles.

I'm worried about Freeman that he's not well suited for the 2. Not big (I question 6-2), no game off the ball, didn't defend well.
I think they'd be better with him at the 1, insert Carey into starting lineup and use Thomas off the bench.

Would have preferred an away P5 game, which not only gives you a chance for a marquee win but shows you how close you are to being a top program.
