All these new locker rooms/renders of new ones. Makes me want SFA to jump on the gun and start hyping up the new stadium/locker rooms.

Yep you are hearing this any many veteran coaches, tired of dealing with the agents and just not having fun anymore in the process.

Some in the media down Beaumont way are claiming that Lamar has the #4 FCS recruiting class in the country. I almost spit my coffee when I read that. Whichever recruiting agency that they got that number from had a Top 10 FCS schools recruiting list, and only Tarleton appeared in that top 10. No SFA, Montana State, NDSU, Montana, Villanova, UC Davis, etc. What a joke.

Not the most credible list. Although Lamar supposedly snagged a couple of winners.

Most of these lists are going to base the class strength off of FBS transfers as well. They basically completely discount sub D1 transfers even though many of those players could legitimately start on P4 programs, and for whatever reason fell to the D2 level. Idk if we snagged any of those guys, but I do know we got some sub D1 guys who will turn out to be some of the best in the FCS in 2026.

From now(actually a few week ago) until week zero, there's gonna be a ton of speculation from "experts" based on no research into these guys.

That's why you should only trust the experts here at the SFA Sawmill!
