I’d like to attempt to answer why the announcement from the young fella was met with an “interesting “ remark… I’m glad to see the young fella get an opportunity for an opportunity to learn & play ball near home. What some may find interesting is that MHC is D2, & he, like other Aggies who entered the portal in 22 & 23 (other than Roberts, Tuten, & King) have gotten no/lukewarm interest from other places. This says a lot UNLESS they are walk-ons. It begs to question WHO EVALUATED THEM AS D1 FOOTBALL PLAYERS? It’s difficult & will be difficult for us to compete in a tough FCS league & we’re not bringing in & developing CAA-level players. When I ask WHO evaluates our prospects (FB & MBB), the concern is validated when we are the only “D1” offer they got OR they hit the portal to crickets chirping. Exactly. Very surprising our players aren't atleast getting HBCU interest

When I ask WHO evaluates our prospects (FB & MBB), the concern is validated when we are the only “D1” offer they got OR they hit the portal to crickets chirping. We have several players that got interest from other places (both FBS & FCS) - Caleb Jones (Boston College), Sterling Berkhalter (Cincinnati), Karfa Kaba (NCCU), Avarion Cole (Appalachian)...at least. And you make some good points. That said, I want to know Professor's reason.

Gentle reminder -Players that have gone in the portal aren't 100% gone unless they've committed to another school (at least)...or they've been told they can't come back.

They are pretty much gone Only one person was brought back for basketball after entering the transfer portal and that was Dukes. The difference in that situation was the players never played for the new coach. Here all of these players play a season under Coach Brown. Nah, he is not taking anyone back that decided to leave "his" program and was not committed to "his" future plans for A&T football.

"pretty much" is saying the same thing I said...they're not 100% gone. That said, we had at least 2 football players (Charlie Dixon & Jonathan Cannon), that went in the portal last year, to not leave. And you don't know what Coach might do. There can be MANY reasons, circumstances, etc.

Plot twist, we maybe competing against Brickhandler in the CAA That’s nuts for Houston Christian’s recruiting class. But, they’ll have a new HC named before Texas Southern University will.
