FAU may gain by losing some battles
By Marcus Nelson
National Signing Day is over and FAU did not win every battle it entered to land recruits.
In fact they lost a rather high-profile one in Pensacola-Rutherford DT Sean Watson, who had committed to FAU, but changed his mind Tuesday night when he was offered by Baylor.
And FAU was in on a few more recruits until the last day before they decided to go to schools like Louisville, Baylor, Wisconsin and Maryland.
I have been covering FAU recruiting since its first verbal commitment and this is the first time the Owls were in on so many players, who chose to go to schools in major conferences.
Of course, the next step is to win some of those battles, but competing with the big boys on a consistent basis is certainly a step in the right direction.
