Based on what I've read so far, it appears that Tarleton has out-recruited us during this portal window.

They have but it's all because of facilities.. our coaches are at a disadvantage to start with.. DO something Mr AD rally some big alum to build something or atleast start the building process.. I hate getting our ass handed to us in recruiting because our locker room is 35 yrs old.. it's embarrassing

A Tarleton fan was using it to mock us on twitter but it's true, losing Coach Ross hurt. A lot of Tarleton's commits here were SFA commits who flipped their commitments.

Funny enough in the grand scheme of the FCS, we actually recruit incredibly well under Carthel in spite of our facilities. Carthel is just an incredible recruiter who's been able to bring in players SFA could've never dreamed of before.

When we finally get a modern stadium and state of the art locker room, imagine the recruiting classes Carthel will be able to pull then.

Lots of players still available in the portal.

Great question. I ran the numbers. As of noon on Monday, there are 10,330 players in the portal.

- 7,154 are active (still looking for a home)
- 2,675 are signed to a new school
- 455 have withdrawn their names from the portal
- 46 are matriculated (transferred, enrolled, set to… https://t.co/jVKh862HJS

I think we've done a good job filling the glaring holes we were going to have. We didn't shake the world with our portal class so far but didn't do poorly either. I think we're going to be in a good spot moving forward, but definitely gonna need some of the younger guys who got experience due to injury last season to step it up this spring if we're gonna run it back.

SFA going to do it with under the radar, Div. II, and JUCO players.

Never said Colby was a bad recruiter.. I said he is at a disadvantage starting off.. I am actually surprised he is still in Nac.. People should see he is committed to the University and community(HTea0) his wife owns.. it makes me sad we have horrible facilities compared to others.. Atleast start on an indoor practice facility for all sports where the practice field are now.. Do something..
