MAC Prospectus Audio

This one's just going to be a quickie.  Camps across the MAC have been opened, which means bad news for some teams have already crossed our Twitter feeds. Injuries to be had, position battles to be won — you're gonna have to wait for me to come back from vacation to unpack it all though. Until then, I'm pretty sad that edsbs.com had to shut down, but I'm excited to read through all of the archives. Yes, all.  Subscribe to the show! Apple/iTunes | Breaker | Google | Pocket Casts | RadioPublic | RSS | Spotify Twitter: @ARAlvarado13 | @MACProspectus | @MACfbRecruiting Email: [email protected]

Miami and Akron both added incoming players to their defensive rosters over the weekend. Miami's Jayden Russell was initially planning on going to Kansas, but a dilemma involving his ACT scores put a wrench in that. Akron got more experience with John Mitchell coming in through the JUCO route. I also asked on Twitter who some other instant impact freshman/transfer candidates may be around the league. Also, an update on Terry Bowden.  Subscribe to the show! Apple/iTunes | Breaker | Google | Pocket Casts | RadioPublic | RSS | Spotify Twitter: @ARAlvarado13 | @MACProspectus | @MACfbRecruiting Email: [email protected]

Bowling Green's quarterback situation just got a little bit more funny, months after junior Jarret Doege left for West Virginia. A second former Boston College QB will transfer to the program after Bryce Veasley's name hit the transfer portal.  Speaking of transfer portal, it's been a while since I've udpated that thing on my blog. I'll update you with some of the changed I had to make on that front. Cortez Lewis is transferring from Western Michigan before the grad student from Wake Forest even took a snap. Qwuantrezz Knight is now eligible to play at Kent State.  Subscribe to the show! Apple/iTunes | Breaker | Google | Pocket Casts | RadioPublic | RSS | Spotify Twitter: @ARAlvarado13 | @MACProspectus | @MACfbRecruiting Email: [email protected]

In this episode, I’ll play the entire “State of the Conference” opening statements from Mid-American Conference Commissioner Jon Steinbrecher at MAC Media Day. That runs for about a half an hour, then I’ll take you into a bit that was a lot of fun to string together.  I went around and asked a few reporters the same one question and a follow-up for each of them. That question: What are you looking forward to in your coverage this year?
