Ingram from WC to EKU? Why?
Did you think this was the guy from Wofford? This is a CB from Furman. EKU was the only offer he reported.

Good luck to him. Hopefully he finds what he’s looking for at EKU
I did my bad.

Looks like Hinton picked up an offer from Eastern Michigan. Twitter says he officially visited WMU this week and Coastal today.

It's 19 degrees tomorrow in Michigan, so maybe that works in Furman's favor.

Most likely it works in Coastal's favor.

I had not looked into Coastal in a while. They are not quite the Chanticleers of a few years ago.

Jamey Chadwell is at Liberty now. Coastal fired their OC back in October. They currently do not have an OC, the responsibilities for which is handled by the head coach, who looks like a guy that's bounced around a lot.

The Chants lost six of their last nine games. They made a bowl game, but it is the Myrtle Beach Bowl, which is played in their home stadium. They finished fifth in their division and their only conference wins came against teams with losing records. It's kind of wild to me that you can "make a bowl game" with a losing conference record and that game be played in your home stadium. It's like everyone gets a trophy.

Statistically, they were one of the Sun Belt's worst passing offenses. They completed around 53% of their passes. The QB they rode with is a sophomore, so unless they bring in someone, he's probably the guy. Just for comparison's sake, Furman was a better and more efficient passing offense statistically.

Now, we've lost grad students to Coastal before (Adrian Hope and Evan Jumper come to mind). I also don't know what motivates guys, but on the pure football side, it's almost like you'd be leaving a program with an established coordinator in an offense where you know you'll be the guy to start over at a program where you don't know where you'll be on the depth chart, going through a coaching change at coordinator, in an offense that really struggled to throw the ball last season.

This is just me, perhaps, but any time programs are firing coordinators mid-season, it's not great.
