Two Major Players on Campus (signed) for RMU Football

Tyler Lamica (yes, younger brother)

Could be make a strong push for one of the ILB positions open. Being on campus now vs. August will help him greatly.

Delano Madison (who?)

He was a verbal commit to Western Michigan then something changed and now he is a Colonial.
Great way for RMU to start 2016.

Also read that a kid named aaron Jenkins transferred in from Notre dame (oh). He played his freshman year at Notre dame and is from Canfield high school

With those two on campus that shows me that about half of the 2016 recruiting class is already filled:

Tyler lamica
Jaymond Dunn
Harrison dreher
Matt fennell
Trey Edwards
Chris Stanford
Tim vecchio
Delano madison
Aaron Jenkins

That can't leave much scholarship money left. I hope we can snag a few more offensive lineman in this class considering we're losing quite a few. Max and nick to graduation, I don't believe Lucian is coming back, and thiel just had another shoulder surgery so im not sure he is coming back either. Plus Ian bjuro is coming off surgery so our line looks like a mess right now

I have heard from outside of the program that there could be several players leaving the program. This is just a rumor now. We will have to wait until the roster is updated online to confirm.
Perhaps some of those leaving (if they truly are) that this could free up some more money.

I know of 6 that have transferred but only 3 of them played last season. And one of those three would've spent his career as a backup. The other 3 probably would never have seen the field even if they stayed the whole time

Are you saying Delano and Tyler are enrolled now, so will be able to participate in spring drills? If so, did they finish high school a semester early, or did they graduate last year?

 

[Original_RMC]

I believe they finished early

If Tyler is on campus and participates in spring drills, he looks to be a player that could contribute his first year. Definitely a strong tackler. Welcome Tyler.

Maybe it's just his name, but I suspect Lano will be a favorite of the Colonials fans. He does look small though, and his offensive highlights, while impressive, it looks as though he hardly gets covered, maybe it's good route running, or maybe it's playing against weak defenses. Actually, I was more impressed with his catching ability with the couple of picks on his defensive highlights. He does look to have very good talent. Welcome Lano.
