Western Michigan seems to snag more Illinois players than actual teams from this state

34 kids from Chicagoland and multiple others from outside Chicagoland.

21 of the 34 are freshman, how many are walk ons vs scholarship players?

My point exactly! That number should be doubled, if not more

Sure…maybe…but my post was in response to “they don’t touch local kids.” Which they do. If we want to talk about % of roster, that’s a different discussion.

That's just on the roster. I'm sure the number they actually offer is much higher. If I had the option between what WMU gives and NIU, as well as the surrounding area, I'm picking WMU as well.
