Here’s my take on the commit list so far:

A few questions for discussion.
1. Fordham got one recruit that was in our backyard: DB Jaden Vazquez, out of Liberty HS. Anyone know the story there? Did Forhdam beat Lehigh in recruiting in this case? Granted DB was not a massive need area for this year, but hate to see a guy recruiting off of Lehigh’s doorstep.
2. As a Lehigh fan, I know I want more defenders, but I’m also confused as to how many to get, where. Right now there are eight LBs on the roster, we have 1 committed to this class, and 3 will be seniors next year (and I don’t know if any can medical redshirt). If we are running a 4-2-5 going forward, this is probably an adequate number. But if we are going back to a 3-3-5 or switching a 4-3, we probably need more LBs, or convert some DE to LB or a S to LB.
3. I was a bit surprised on the emphasis on WR. I know we lose one (and very likely two) of the greatest WR in school history (Pelletier and Casey), but I also saw WR as in very good hands with Bibbens, Portorreal and Richardson, for years to come. I mean, I LOVE having more great WR – in many ways, Lehigh is Wideout U. But I was surprised to see so many on there.
