DB Jordan Quebe (6-0, 170) of Cape Coral High School in Cape Coral, Fla., tweets that he is getting interest from Appalachian State. Says ASU is his leader for now and asks friends if they'll fly to Boone to see him play.

On a side note, I would urge our fans not to attempt to communicate with our prospects through social media or by other means. The NCAA has relaxed its regulations in this area, but in my opinion more harm can come from this than good. Just my opinion but it's best to let our coaches do their jobs without our interference.

Also, LB Aaron Plantt (6-1, 200) of Hallandale High School in Hallandale, Fla., visits Marshall this weekend.

Thanks, eggers76

I think we could have Plantt if we want him. He's from a suburban area of Miami and -- this is strictly one person's opinion -- the "fit" might not be there. I'm betting he commits to Marshall after this weekend.

Wanting and ponying up the money may be different things.

5-7, 200 is this guy in the mold of Ray Rice or MJD or what. Thats alot of weight to carry at 5-7 and still have the speed to play RB. Anyone see him play at W Guilford that can comment on this kid?

[ASUPATCH]

Found this video of him. Seems to have good balance and vision. Kinda Ray Rice ish.Could be just the pickup we needed as we lose Miller and Chisolm.

Davidson's junior season highlights while playing at Greensboro Grimsley:

It should be noted that he played on two very mediocre teams in high school.

Kaliff Phillips committed to UNCC this AM.....

Many members denied that UNC-C would hurt is recruiting, but it looks like the Niners are already proving that to be untrue.

At the appropriate time I will explain this situation BUT his going there was not a football only decision.

He found out quickly that this is a business!

Go APPS!

WOW...this will hurt. All the time he spent with you guys this year. I hope this isn't a trend......

He looks like a powerful back too.....maybe someone who can get 2-3 short yards when we need it up the middle...

Mountaineer Illustrated posted a story about a commitment App picked up today.

6'2 205 LB/S Rashaad Townes from Macon Ga.

Was being recruited by Furman, Ga. Southern, UTC and MTSU. Apparently Huesman went to his school to visit after he committed to us to try and sway him, but to no avail
