Don't get me wrong, I think the young man will be a good qb for us...but, I know we are NOT expecting him to take us where we want to go as a freshman are we...? Is that the belief...?

Making sure we are on the same page, he basically said that they weren't done and are now focused on the portal. Sounds like a QB with some experience is being targeted.

IMO, we went pretty much back to the basic formula that has made us the darlings of HBCU football for the last half decade and that is recruiting guys who in no particular order:
1. First want to be at A&T and like what we have to offer both academically as well as athletically.
2. Guys who will easily fit into our campus environment and are not likely to have character or grade issues down the road once they get here. (Some excellent academic credentials attached to this class)
3. Getting the best athletes possible to fit specific needs. Most all FCS programs understand they are not going to sign and retain a boat load of 5's and 4's but they can get their fair share of 3's and some really talented kids who flew under the radar that don't always necessarily fit the public perception of what that ideal "star system" athlete should look like. 4. We are using the portal to add experience to the youth already in the program. We had 62 players that were either freshmen or redshirt sophomores last season. That's why we're not even finished recruiting by a long shot and the bulk of those remaining spots you can be certain are destined for the offensive side of the ball. However, the most pressing and glaring need coming off of last season had to be taken care of on Day One and that was the secondary and the defensive line. We weren't slowing down or stopping anyone in conference play by seasons end.

Everybody seems to be fat as far as recruiting is concerned...so. It's really going to come down to coaching moving forward.

I’m sorry but I’m worried .. I know I’m not supposed to look at star ratings and that sorts but I can’t help it. Just seen a graph on fbs transfers and Ala A&M leads the list .. A&T was not on the list out of like 50 schools. From what I can tell A&T had the worst class among elite hbcus .. and Campbell Gardner webb destroyed us in conference. We might have met “needs” but that’s relative. Considering a losing season.
Dion Sanders has the SWAC competing and it is paying off all their schools has great classes. I mean great. I am very worried that the ones we are looking for - those black kids that choose pwis.. are choosing the SWAC schools. I know this is only year one, but if this is a prelude.. we gotta do something different. We are not even keeping up w the pace of our conference and just getting plumitted by other hbcus.
I know we may have had success previous years but great programs reload every year. All I can say is that based off what I have seen in the conference And hbcus we get a C-
