Stony Brook Football Adds First Names to 2008 Recruiting Class

Seawolves Ink Six on First Day of Signing Period

Feb. 6, 2008


Stony Brook, N.Y. - Stony Brook University's football team added the first names to its 2008 recruiting class when head coach Chuck Priore announced the names of six players who signed letters of intent to play for the Seawolves starting with the 2008 season. Matt Dardenne (Fremont, Calif.), Eddie Gowins (Bellport, N.Y.), Jordan Gush (Richardson, Texas), Adrian Sawyer (Oakland, Calif.), Wes Skiffington (Brandon, Fla.) and Marcus Wilson (Pennsauken, N.J.) will all add their names to the Stony Brook roster next season.

"We're excited about the class," said Priore. "It is a small class right now, but we are excited with our start. We are in the third stage of a four stage process of taking our program to the full scholarship level of the FCS (Football Championship Subdivision - formally I-AA) and we have tried to work our classes to fit some specific needs; whether it is to get a bit older or balance our freshman class. We have patience with our recruiting class and try not to use all of our spots up early. Last year we signed six players after April 1st and all had an impact on our program."

It seems odd to have such a small class and use it with JUCOs. Perhaps they had a big one last year. They seem to indicate they expect some late letters.

If you have ever been to Manhattan you would understand. It is essentially impossible to win at K-State without a roster full of JUCOs and Texans. Snyder proved that the combination would work and the new staff is following right along.
