Jackson State put together a very impressive class this year. DJ Clayton, Kylan Richie, Kendrick Paul, Kevin Berthey and Brandon Frazier are very good grabs for the Tigers. Look out.

Yeah. Props to JSU. Clayton is good. Richie Rich is a good get. If Brandon Frazier would have stayed at John Curtis instead of transferring to John Ehret, he would be getting ready suit up in the FBS. That kid can play. JSU has just landed a very good pass rusher. TP, put him in my " I tried to tell y'all " list of SWAC signee predictions.

I honestly thought the same thing. Maybe it means something else.

I said "What The Hell" but the rest of AAMU notices were classy. I saw their coaches a couple of times in Bham this last month and even reminisced with Totten. They diversified more this year and field up on previous college players.

It's being reported that Cedar Hill HS had 28 LOIs signed and Desoto HS had 26. IH20 metroplex: physically talented and gifted as the power shifted from SOC/Kimb/Cart HSs. Every so often Lancaster HS even makes noise towards a playoff push and has double-digit LOIs recently.

Cedar Hill, which went 11-3 and lost to eventual state champion DeSoto in the Class 6A Division II Region I final, had 28 players sign. That tied DeSoto for the largest football signing class in the area.

Even backups are getting scholarships lol. Football from top to bottom in the metroplex > all football in the state of tx.

You answered my question. I was wondering why he didn't go to a FBS. I didn't know he went to powerhouse John Curtis. Impressive signee for the SWAC and JSU. That staff really isn't joking around. To be honest, I was impressed last year with who they brought in.
 
where is Valley? I can't find them on the SWAC website, I know their coach is good at getting recruits

With a year on the recruiting trail I knew this year's class would be somewhat special based upon what we brought in last year with only a month. The staff has addressed needs when it comes to speed and playmakers so it should be a much improved year for the Tigers. I'm also impressed with GSU, PV, and Txsu classes
