Re: Southland Off-Season News
Has anyone else seen their players out practicing? I drove by the stadium yesterday and there were large groups of them out there doing every kind of drill known to football. Kind of cool to see that much effort in the early off season. Hope our starting QB Smith is healing up. Also hope our backup QB is healing up too. Both injured early in the season last year and never played another down all year. You can have a really good team but no QB and you are in trouble. xlolx I'll see if I can get some photos today if they are practicing outside.

Try not having much of an offensive line. Doesn't matter if you have a good QB, Rb's and Wr's.

Re: Southland Off-Season News
UCA picked up a 3 star dual threat QB yesterday. Hard commit but I imagine if he gets an offer at a decent FBS school he may decide otherwise. UCA would be a GREAT place for his career though. We'll see on signing day if he stays. Hope he does. I watched this kid play the last few years and he is calm under pressure.
Also got another 3 star Safety commit recently. 5 offers. Hope he signs too.
I believe signing day is February 6?
UCA's signed 2019 commits:
Marshun Douglas- APB- 5'9" 167- 2 star Kirby High. Memphis Tennessee (offer from Tulsa)
Donte Jones- Safety- 5'11" 171- two star Bentonville High Arkansas (offers from UT-Martin and UAPB)
Chandler Caughron- Kicker- 6' 185- two star. Evangelical Christian Cordova, Tennessee
Zion Hatley- RB- 6' 180 two star. Arkadelphia High, Arkansas (offers from South Dakota State and Ouachita Baptist)
Joshua George- OG- 6'3" 309 two star. Benton, Arkansas ( 5 offers )
MarQuez Casey, WDE- 6'2" 225 two star. Jacksonville, Arkansas (UAPB offer)
James Kitt- DT. 6'3" 255 Pensacola, Florida (South Alabama, Southern Miss. and UAB offers)
Taurean Mays- SDE. 6'2" 235 Crestview Florida

After early signing period, if a decent QB hasn't gotten an offer and committed to an FBS school yet, they are likely not getting an offer. I think he's sticking with you.

Man that would be GREAT!
Funny thing is my son's football coach told his team that if they haven't heard from a college coach halfway through their junior year then the odds of them playing in college plummet to basically zero. My son has heard from 3 of them since the 10th grade. Funny thing. He may not play college ball. Although lately he has had a "fire" in his belly. xlolx Teenagers. One day they're sold out, the next they want to quit. I'm just an observer...xlolx

Re: Southland Off-Season News
We signed a few recruits, have a few commitments, and we will sign some more recruits in Feb. How good are they? I will tell you that in 4 or 5 years. ;)
