The FCS Loves Randy Edsall (and apparently Turner Gill)!

Well, Maryland and everyone ever associated with the Terps may hate Kevin Anderson and Randy Edsall, but FCS teams sure don’t.  Rob and I usually leave Dukes recruiting stories and rumors to the message boards and more “connected” blogs out there, but some recent news out of PG County really caught our attention.  The exodus of Terps out of College Park in the midst of the utter disfunction that is UM athletics combined with the “no waiting if you transfer down” rule are beginning to look like a windfall of talent for local FCS programs.  Thankfully JMU joined the party in picking up Safety Titus Till, who on his way out the door, said essentially: “Yeah I’m leaving to go help a great Defense and I’m trying to bring friends with me.”  His ‘friends’ allegedly include DT David Mackall and RB Jeremiah Wilson, both of whom are rumored to have other plans.  Let’s hope young Mr. Till is a good salesman and a great player!
