Thank y'all. I've heard nothing but great things about SFA.

Nice recruits coming in. OL looks like they're getting beefier. Seeing these players gets me a little excited.

Chose SFA over some big name schools. Outstanding!

I believe Jayson Clements, who left for Baylor is back.

Interesting. Wonder if it was grades or simply a desire to play two sports.

DJ Curtis OLB from Iowa Western CC just committed after his weekend visit.

You never know how recruiting will play out going forward, but at least on paper it looks like it's going to be a very good crop this year!

- 1st Team All-League

DB: Donald Mensah Jr. 6-2; 180 Windsor, Ontario (New Mexico Military Institute) JUCO

It will be interesting to see when they update the roster and who has exited the team, because this is a ton of defensive backs to add to an already DB heavy roster.

With the recruits and those already on the roster makes for 23 DBs.

This is an impressive recruiting class for the secondary and really helps out with the departure of 3 senior starters.

Where do we stand going into Wednesday?

Dead period now, but this is the bulk of the class, always a few surprises though in gains and losses, will have to wait and see, won't be long now.

247sports has this as the #1 class in the SLC as of now.

I think the secondary will be a big strength this season with these additions.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Clint Conque is an outstanding recruiter. But that's only when his big time recruits get to play.

How about is recruiting on the O-Line???

If this translates to the field this year, we might just have ourselves a coach. If not, Jeff Traylor can put in work to finally fix this football program.

Lots of things will have to change to get Traylor on board..But its a great idea..
