Southern University Football Recruiting Update | OL WR & DB Commitments + Need for QBs & WRs

[@coach67sportstv]

Salute to the family and everyone coming through to show love and support. Thank you so much, you are greatly appreciated!

Maybe it's because I don't know the right people but I've never heard of a collective for Southern University. Looks like we will need to do something in order to compete.

[@coach67sportstv]

@soundproof75 I agree 100%, but organizing that would be a challenge!

[@soundproof75]

Question, is Jackson State using NIL to help with their recruiting or is it simply brand recognition? I agree with you that Southern is on a lower tier than JSU right now. We still need an experienced RB, a couple more WRs and at least one more QB. The WR that we did get was considered one of the best in metro Atlanta in 2022 by the Atlanta Journal Constitution, and that's saying a lot. Much appreciated!

@@soundproof75 I appreciate your continued support. I think JSU is using NIL because I don’t see them getting some of the top end players they are getting without it.

[@MDG5-11]

What you’re seeing with JSU is synergism between the right AD hire and the right Coach hire ( TC Taylor) and a really good relationship with the President This is why JSU’s program was down for so many years. multiple Presidency changes with bad AD hires resulting in bad coaching hire Comegy was a winner but there were better coaches that applied who had deep ties to the school that didn’t get the nod

@@MDG5-11 That makes sense.

[@sullivanwaypodcast2517]

It’s hard to get top notch guys in this era due to NIL. These guys want money. Is southern willing to pay them?

[@coach67sportstv]

@sullivanwaypodcast2517 You are 100% correct. They don't have the money, and it seems like they aren't trying to raise it.

The alarm needs to be sounded from the jaguar nation cause southern has fallen way behind in recruiting and it's very alarming and I know yall tired of me saying it but it falls back on the coaching staff what kinda job are they doing to recruit certain players and sale the program cause everyone knows that recruiting a lot of good players is half the battle won the win championships now I will say the defensive side is doing and excellent job in recruiting but the whole offense positions coaches is super suspect to me in there ability to coach and recruit hopefully one day the administration will wake up geaux jags

To add to what you’re discussing…even to a lower level, Mekhi Hagans (UAPB) signed with Lamar University the other day, and as of today, Amari Jones (FIU), another QB offered by Southern, announced today he’s committed to SCSU. Gone are the days of expecting recruits to head your way based on a brand that was built around the 90s and early 00s. This era currently is about what are you doing currently, how are you looking doing it, and or, what are you offering financially outside of roster placement? From marketing, to calling plays and competing, to dominating, to what financially do you have to offer; is the era going forward in this college football climate with these Young Men. When you lack in those areas, you are relegated to turn to HS, Smaller Schools & JUCO to recruiting, while your contemporaries are re-tooling with higher grade weapons. When the world changes…for adaptation - you reassess, re-evaluate, refocus, and evolve - to elevate. That’s in anything you do for legitimate results. Peace & Salute Coach #GeauxJags 🩵💛
