Good move. It was beginning to get difficult to distinguish between actual recruits/offers and players being hyped.

Lets get the ball rolling on 2018 shall we.

Oklahoma is really becoming our go to state.

Tons of FBS players transferring, Texas lost 3 recently in Aucoin, Elliott, and Southall.

I've noticed that some SFA coaches seem to be on the trail of these players leaving their previous team.

Just curious. Are there any NCAA limitations on coaches' contacts with these potential transfers? What can and can't they do?

Had interest from Texas with Shawn Watson, SFA strong on him.

16-4A 1st Team All-District

I noticed that he retweeted SFA's FB schedule. Cousin of Randy, Josh, and Luke McCown -- good QB bloodlines.

OK, so Mr. McCown is now a member of the coaching staff (assistant wide receivers coach for SFA)

He's a coach? How'd that happen?

Which Mr. McCown? Randy, Josh, or Luke?

Carter McCown

On average an FBS program makes about 233 offers and yet you can only sign 25

So, a college Jr. is an assistant coach???

According to his Twitter profile

DE: Blake Fehrmann 6-5; 230 Brookfield, Wisconsin (Brookfield Central)
Offers from SFA, Illinois State, North Dakota, Western Illinois, Buffalo, interest Michigan State, Northern Illinois, North Dakota State, South Dakota, Minnesota

TKL:57;TFL:18.0;SCK:11.0;FR:4 (Junior Season)

- Top 10 Defensive Lineman in the State
- 1st Team All-Conference

Right now high interest in SFA, but his stock will go up along with more offers.

I think we have this guy too as he was just accepted at SFA for 2018.


LB: Malcolm Johnson 6-1; 220 Mandeville, Louisiana (Mandeville) ** (247sports) #170 OLB; #119 State
Offers from SFA, Southeastern Louisiana

- 1st Team All-District

Would like to see us make an offer to Liberty-Eylau QB Decorian Phillips. Watched him a few times this year and not sure he could stick at QB but has very good hands and ability to create separation at receiver. Maybe with some work he could be a good dual threat option at QB. Kinda overlooked this year because he had to play QB (which he still did pretty well) instead of WR all year.

I hope the SFA coaches are watching the Newton state championship game tonight. They've got some athletes on that team. And most of them are Juniors. Maybe we can grab a couple of them before the likes of McNeese come knocking.

Official visits going on this weekend
