@Mr__Jeremy On it!

With the addition of two top-200 commits last week — including one of the top-rated prospects in modern MAC history — Toledo basketball now has the nation's No. 5 recruiting class in 2027, per247Sports.
Rockets are just ahead of Kansas, Duke, and Kentucky.

What's life really like in the MAC?

Our annual confidential football survey is back, this time with the coaches and a new batch of questions:

Best MAC job? Toughest road trip/venue? Most overrated analytic? Best 'value' position in free agency? Thoughts on Sac State? ('Why?!') Top recruit who got away? And more.

But if it were, this would be a pretty good playbook ... https://t.co/wS9WCWEy9H

Whoa. No. 106 prospect in 2027 class, per 247Sports. Toledo basketball on a hell of a recruiting run.
