It's here! Of course, go to my blog first and read that before going to the official site... :nod:

As I said in response to your blog, this is a time to really feel stoked. The new coaching staff at Lehigh, now with a full year to evaluate and pursue really seemed to do their homework and went head to head around the country with some 'bigger' programs to get these guys. Coen, rightfully so, gave a ton of credit to his assistants for achieving this success, but it also goes to show the type of leader he is...one not afraid to give credit to others. His long term approach to addressing Lehigh's needs as well as changing Lehigh's focus to being more fast and physical than finesse is seen in the class. Spring practice will start in a little over a month with the Brown & White game in mid April.

Local papers agree with my assessment: the big bodies are what stands out.

These links will also be included on my blog later. And if it's true that C John Reese will get a 5th year, our line looks even better for 2007. This is the first I've heard of it, though.

That's great news about Reese. I saw it being discussed on the voy board. Center is always a critical part of the OL. So with the two big tackles back, we'll be in decent shape up front...
