I’m not connected to the inner workings of his recruitment but it seems like he has no power 5 offers. That also seems like a HUGE mistake.
NIU would be a terrible fit, and I am a huge Huskies supporter. Same with Illinois.
He needs an offense that utilizes quick slot receivers and can actually pass, and for that reason BGSU wasn't too bad a fit [granted they didn't pass well except to Scott Miller]. That said he's a Power 5 talent indeed, but not many programs who recruit here run the offenses he needs. Brohm does, but he's likely moving on. IU is a fit.
Syracuse would be a great fit IMO, and they recruit the area.
While a Group of Five school, he'd be a great fit for Memphis.

They both have great hands...amazing how the Nazareth receivers rarely dropped passes.
What about Minnesota? Seems like he would be a PJ Fleck kind of guy and while they don't spread the ball around much, they will when Fleck gets a full 3-4 years of his recruits in there. #rowtheboat
I was going to say he's pretty close to my height, and I'm a non-rostered 5-11.5
Les Miles from Kansas will pick him up - otherwise Lovie who is grasping at straws for recruiting may offer him. ND would only be a Preferred Walk On - they are loaded this recruting class. Perhaps Iowa State
Not sure what he is doing wrong but I can tell you for sure that a kid "Mookie Cooper" that plays for Trinity Catholic out of St. Louis is 5'8 with the same forty time and he has a ton of offers and a future 50 all American. He may be shorter than 5'8 unless he grew from the week 2 of the season.
I got your answer but being from Missouri isn't any better than being from Illinois. Now Florida is something different.
Michael is a straight up player. He didn’t have crazy stats as a junior due the fact that there was so much talent at Naz. With the lack of stats and big time measurables his recruiting was stifled. This kid will be steal wherever he lands. Playmaker, flat out playmaker.
I think the stat that put me most in awe was return yardage. When Julian was at Naz I thought there couldn't be a better return man ever. He averaged 20.1 yards a return. In looking at Michael Loves returns this year he averaged 38.1 yards a return. That's mind boggling.
Wait, what? This is Devin Hester-like, though Hester averaged about 25 on KO returns. Gawdy.
Nobody kicked to Hester for a long stretch as well. The numbers don't lie. Special Teams coaches had to be reeling watching the video.
They probably had the easiest job though. "ok this week we kick the ball out of bounds on punt and pooch to the mid line on KO"
You have to remember that college coaches are in the projection business. They would rather take a kid that is 6’2 that doesn’t pop off the film like Love does just because his long term projection is better. Look at Cohen from the Bears. He’s a FCS player that is killing in the NFL. You can’t tell me his HS film wasn’t good. Because he is small, big schools didn’t recruit him. Love is closer to 5’9 than 5’11.
He is a winner from a football family, he doesn't pass "eye" test which is why he doesn't have P5 yet. They are too worried about looking at the 6'1"+ guys with similar speed but without his intangibles. Nothing he doesn't do on the field including playing with a chip on his shoulder which is fun to watch. My guess he will end up with a few P5 offers once early signing ends. If Qb's were giving the offers, he would have 20. Nothing more important to QB than a big TE and/or slot receiver that cant really be covered and will always be open and always catch the ball. See exhibit A- Michael Love.
Kid was a pleasure to watch as he developed from a Frosh to senior year, his football IQ just grew and grew as the years progressed. Great family and wishing nothing but success no matter where he ends up! If you ask anyone about the Love boys the first 2 games most will mention is Julian’s domination against JCA in 2015 and Michael taking over the Simeon game this year...#NazIsFamily
You may want to change that hashtag. WTF?
