JMU's new coach was Elon's previous head coach. He said he wouldn't go after any recruits currently committed to Elon, so instead he's trying to come after our recruits. Very dirty move. We should do the same to them. JMU is a regional university that does little in the way of research. SBU is a nationally ranked research powerhouse and is a member of the AAU. We run circles around them academically. That should matter to Brinson whose commitment was due in large part to our academics. He had interest from Ivy League schools.
I have no doubt there are academically inclined recruits who are looking at JMU, who would look our way if we really sold SBU's academic reputation to them. Academically, we're a Big Ten school in the FCS, that's a very compelling story.
