N.C. A&T making up for lost timeThursday, February 2, 2012 (Updated 3:00 am) By Jeff Mills Staff Writer GREENSBORO -- Rod Broadway arrived at N.C. A&T one day after signing day last year. It was too late for the new coach to recruit, so the Aggies added just three scholarship players to a team coming off a 1-10 season, biding their time. This year was different. This year there was time. This year there were 27 scholarships to offer. This year the staff could sell recruits on the improvements shown during a 5-6 season when A&T won the games that matter most: homecoming and the Aggie-Eagle Classic. So this year a standing-room-only crowd of 70 invited guests gathered Wednesday night in a conference room to watch grainy game films of 18 high school players who signed national letters of intent to play for the Aggies next season. A&T is still chasing "four or five" high school seniors, Broadway said. Add in a few transfers, and the coach said he'll use all 27 available scholarships. That's luxurious, considering A&T finished last season with just 31 scholarship players. With 23 of them eligible to return, the Aggies could have 50 -- out of a possible 63 allowed in the NCAA's Football Championship Subdivision -- on next season's roster.
