Trying to dig in a bit with the recruits listed as "committed" to see what we can learn about them.  I'm at work, so don't have a ton of time.  But, these QBs (the first two recruits on the list) look legit. 

Couldn't find much on Paliga through the national recruiting services, probably because he was behind a stud QB until his senior year, but took his team to the state championship in 3A.  Has playstation-like stats.  Local kid who went under the recruiting radar vs. his true abilities due to depth at his position, I believe.  A great pick up.  Commitment article: http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/post-tribune/sports/ct-ptb-andrea-paliga-commits-valpo-st-0131-20150130-story.html Season highlights: http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1351555/jake-paliga 

As for Roth, he was a three year starter for a MI powerhouse program (6 state championships since 2000 in the equivalent of 4A) and is athletic: senior highlights  Looks to have received a good bit of high-D1 interest -scout.com articles   and caught the eye of one national recruiting analyst-Tom Lemming-who ranked him a 4 star. 

From the past two years, it looks like the coaching staff likes to take two QBs with contrasting styles: a bigger pocket passer (Paliga, Clarke) and a mobile dual threat (Roth, Stokes). 

 "Now I understand! Thank you, valp094 and vu72! Where can I buy season tickets? For the first time in a long time, Crusader fans have another sports team to be proud of. 2014 was just the beginning of an exciting, remarkable transformation. VU will rule the PFL!"

Regarding your question about buying season tix, I've just purchased them at the stadium ticket office right before entering the game. 

Let me give this a try.  The PFL is non-ATHLETIC scholarship, in the same way the Ivy League is non-ATHLETIC scholarship.  That doesn't mean the players are paying their own way--completely, but rather that they are in line with other students applying for scholarships, academic or need based.  Remember that something like 93% of Valpo students receive grants.

And, to avoid getting into trouble like Jacksonville, the aid received must be "blind" to athletic ability.  The aid given is based on: (a) financial need; and/or (b) academic prowess.  Jacksonville had to forfeit their season and league championship this year because the aid provided football players was tied to their ability--at least that was the allegation that resulted in the institution forfeiting their games and the conference championship. 

So, in the PFL, if your program follows the rules, you wind up with a football team chock full of kids who are hard working students that, in all likelihood, said no to scholarship opportunities at lesser academic institutions in favor of investing in an education at more academically prestigious universities.  These are kids you want to root for.   

Welcome aboard, Oghbeicae9.  Are you, per chance, related to OB1Canobie?   

Some history:

Under the previous regime (that went 3 and 41), the recruiting classes averaged around 30.  Last year, Cecchini's staff, understandably, got a late start and signed around 20 and then lost a few between signing and the start of camp.  This year their goals are a larger class and retain a greater percentage by preseason camp.  The obvious turn around that occurred in 2014 should help the staff achieve those recruiting goals, not to mention make Valpo more attractive to more talented players than in the past.

Just doing some research on the recruits listed, this is a high quality class.  Lots of athletes.  Lots of speed.  Lots of kids who were flirting with D1-FCS offers. 

Regarding the 2015 schedule, it looks like there is a bye on 10/31, right before the Butler game.  That works out nicely. 

Coach Stovall tweeted they had 22 commits earlier today-Monday February 2.  Coach Giacalone then tweeted they added another.  So, it looks like they have 23 commits to date. Here are a couple recent commits:
