wayback, I have a son at Elon ... if you have any specific questions, I'd be happy to answer them, just send me a PM.
Overall, he loves the school and the program. Elon plays a tough schedule out of conference. Last year, they played 8 games against SEC opponents, going 4-4 and 5 against the ACC (except Clemson), going 3-2. Clemson cooked us, winning all 3 games. They did that to a lot of people.
We lost 12 players to graduation this summer and will lose another 12 players to graduation at the end of this season. I expect another strong season this year.
