Where are the rankings you refer too? HBCU Gameday is the source… and I know folks find solace in precious years of the SWAC .. and I would consider that argument if the SWAC traditionally out recruited us or the MEAC and they still were losing. But that is not the case. My whole entire point is that the game has changed and there is a shift in HBCU football, the mindset of players and for the past two years of recruiting has not matched this trend. And people may disagree, but there ain’t no way that if you are recruiting 9/10 in HBCU football are you even close to recruiting to be the top of the CAA. Period. Their might be a case for all that other stuff although there is less evidence. One season .. but this is two years in a row that we’ve been out recruited by most HBCUS and even in the state of NC we were out recruited by Campbell and NCCU .it’s unacceptable… especially when we were the #1 hbcu program and the #1 fcs program in the state.. to me this is a big problem and we need to start addressing it. How have we been out recruited, that is the question I have with your statement. Did we not sign the players that we wanted ? Did we lose any recruits to Campbell , NCCU or even the SWAC ? Or is this about not having a top ranked recruiting class 🤔 Hell I'll take winning with nobodies on paper over loosing with a top recruiting class any day. You may find this interesting NDSU Football recruiting class 247sports.com/college/north-dakota-state/Season/2022-Football/Commits/

Where is the HBCU game day article? If you are using something based on 247 sports they are showing us with 5 HS commits 247sports.com/college/ncat/Season/2022-Football/Commits/And NCCU with 2 247sports.com/college/nccu/Season/2022-Football/Commits/You can’t compare our recruiting to JSU, FAMU, Gram and A&M…they are transfer heavy. A&M and Gram brought in 30 plus FBS transfers. Deion probably brought in 15-20, that is not how we do business. CAA isn’t transfer heavy like the SWAC, FBS is going to limit all this transferring soon enough. I don’t count getting a bunch of FBS transfers and grad students as something to envy.

Those potential rules will only affect Power-5 and FBS.

That’s not HBCU gameday, additionally it says per 247 sports rankings which if you look at the actual list it’s incomplete. They show NCCU with 2 recruits signed and us with like 7 even though we signed a lot more. Please do your own homework vs taking everything at face value

Of course I did not need this from 247 sports . I basically said the same thing weeks ago when we had signing day. I was really disappointed and this just proved I should have been ..we have a problem idk why folks can’t see it.. it’s sitting right there in black and white.

Everyone else is also making additions … my guess we don’t move an inch after it’s all said and done. I hope I’m wrong

Bruh, didn’t Howard sign like 8 three stars? This ranking is poorly done and the author should be fired lol.
How is a team that signed 8 three stars ranked below us, NCCU and Alcorn?

Off subject. Teams practice with those soft shell head things to help prevent concussions, but no one thinks that putting soft padding outside the plastic shell on helmets permanently is a good idea? Or is everyone putting looks over safety? Carry on.

Or is everyone putting looks over safety? Carry on. We say that it's to help prevent concussions but I think it's more to keep the helmets from getting banged up. JMHO...

It boggles the imagination how much weight fans give to the annual internet clickbait "how many stars did your team get?" beauty pageant. Fascinating.
