We are looking forward to some more recruits. I have been able to observe some of the current players on the field running their own drills, so it is nice seeing some early signs of life. In the meantime, we lost another defensive coach. Our DB assistant Ray Brown has moved on to Troy.... It will be interesting to see what Dorrel does this spring with coaches and the defense.

Good info, sfa93. We at PV are decently concerned when an offered prdct hailing from the local Cy-ISD spurns our offer and accepts at another FCS school in tx. The $$$ spent on locker rooms, weight training facilities, et al wasn’t spent for us to be spurned.

Our quest is to BE the top FCS school destination in tx. SHSU holds that position and we are immediately following w/ our offeratory.

Players are fleeing the pigs quick.

UCA has picked up a third 3 star player commit last night! C'mon signing day.....get here!

[Panther88]

Carthel and company are making a HUGE splash in tx recruiting. He has a helluva' pedigree and his name was in the mix before we offered our last recent HC. In the end, we made the right choice for HC. Very impressive, SFA.

Not a UAF fan but with those other offers seems there may be more to the story.

Regardless a good pickup! SFA bringing in a ton of talent, should be interesting to see how they look in a few years.
