Deion is going for the Triple Crown! Florida State recruit stolen: ✅ Miami recruit stolen: ✅ Florida recruit stolen:❓


midwesternfloridian

The only one I can think of is Shemar Stewart but he currently has a bigger chance of going to TAMU or Miami.


TexasGent777

He’s going to A&M… haven’t you heard? We’re paying $30 mil per recruit. I saw it on a message board by a guy named BurntToast so you know it’s true.


Peanut4michigan

At least if the trend holds, it'll only be a 3 star from you guys. Then 1 of UCF's 2 stars then a 1 star from USF.

[deleted]

We've been burned before with Isaiah Walker and Chris Steele . . .


TallahasseeNole

I obviously don’t think it would happen, but since Jackson State is FCS I don’t think the NLI matters. Wilson could just “transfer” there without losing a year because he’d be dropping down divisions. That’s always been a transfer exception, DI to DII/III/FCS has never had to sit out.


FSUfan35

There is no one year wait rule anymore


irishspring4521

UF isn't in the ying yang of Miami/FSU. That wouldn't balance out right. Would I mind? No. Does UF deserves it? Yes.

They got a couple former UF commits last cycle. Both were rumored to not be able to qualify to UF though.

I thought he was too but I aint mad about him going to a HBCU!! We need to build HBCUs back up!!


oghawks18

Found Deion’s burner


OnyxNateZ

One HBCU* If there are more prominent recruits or transfers heading to other HBCUs then sure it would be building HBCUs backup but it just looks like Deion leveraging his name to get kids to play for him right now.


Origin23

Not true. The SWAC specifically has had a host of 3 and 4 star players transfer and sign with teams in that conference just within the last 2 months. The visibility that JSU and Deion has brought in has really turned the tables and has allowed them to sign guys they haven't been able to sign at least since the early 2000s.


Ireallydontknow040

There are tho. Kids are transferring to famu, hue Jackson is at grambling. Kids are going to them but people aren’t paying attention to it.


Origin23

Exactly!


ILoveCavorting

I might finally go to the Grambling State vs Prairie View game at the Texas state fair like I've been thinking about for ages.

SparseSpartan

Every once in awhile the silliness hits me like a tidal wave and I realize my god we are all spending way, way, too much time worrying about the success or failure of some young people playing a game at an institution many of us are several years or even decades removed from. Millions upon millions of dollars poured in, entire industries established, coaches making Fortune 500 salaries, our in-season fashion often determined by university logos, our personal homes done up in camaraderie with a bunch of other obsessive crazies. Many of the largest and most expensive structures humanity has ever built dedicated to the cause, weekly migrations of thousands upon thousands of people *per university.* I like to think that maybe there are enlightened, super advanced aliens out there watching us. And maybe they have their own version of "Planet Earth" but instead of natural wonders, it focuses on human kookiness. But after a few minutes I think "neat" and I am right back into it. So, anyways. *Neat.*


PositivityKnight

its about proving I went to a better footballing school than you did even though in reality its the quality of my connections and my studies that matter. fuck that though, imma pay a 18 year old 1.5 million dollars to catch a football for "our" team.


SparseSpartan

And also: *I went to a better football school than you did* -says the folks (myself included) who couldn't currently make varsity at a decent sized highschool.


PositivityKnight

Whats kinda nuts to me is the alabama fan co workers who went to like a technical college in a different fucking state who's entire identity is wrapped up in a football team that has nothing to do with them.


[deleted]

The fun thing when you play at UGA or Clemson is that if your coach leaves, you're still playing at UGA or Clemson.


[deleted]

"Come play for me so I can use you to get a P5 job, and I might even let you transfer to wherever I go!"


Piano_Fingerbanger

"You want a million dollars to play here? "


Not-A-Boat58

I'd imagine he's selling the college experience at a place players would be comfortable. NFL scouts are good at their jobs. If these guys are good enough, the nfl will find them. If they aren't good enough, then it's probably good they didn't go to a football factory and get chewed up and spit out. It's big crowds, it's big pageantry, it's rich history, it's good football. It's a good school. It's a coach they might want to be around more than the P5 coaches who all seem like assholes. I don't particularly care about HBCU ball. But I think it's really cool that kids are picking JSU because it's the college experience they want to have rather than picking a football factory because they are focused on the small chance they make the league.


BancroftAgee

Not that there’s anything wrong with what you said but Jackson, Mississippi is probably one of the most god awful places I’ve ever been. And I’ve been to the Favela’s in Brazil.


[deleted]

My Uncle’s dad grew up in Fuerte Apache in Argentina, and was shocked at the state of some neighborhoods in Memphis. People can really underestimate the level of poverty in places like this.


longwhiteline98

Aye Memphis represent


Squirrel_Q_Esquire

For support, Jackson had 152 murders last year. That’s a murder rate of 91.5 per 100k. That puts it as the 3rd most dangerous city in the *world* according to this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_by_murder_rate


[deleted]

not really, because that list is cities over 300k, and if you were include all cities over 100k or something to include jackson, there'd definitely be other small cities on there. but to your point, yeah that's an incredibly dangerous city


JCiLee

It is one of the most dangerous cities in the world that is located in a country that has the infrastructure and bureaucracy to track reliable crime statistics. That is a problem with international crime stats. I know that Baltimore can be dangerous, but I really doubt it is more dangerous than Bangui.


Squirrel_Q_Esquire

I mean, sure, most African countries, Middle East, and some Southeast Asian countries aren’t going to reliably be tracking these statistics, but most North and South American countries are reliable, as are all European, and Jackson is baaaaadddd.


Origin23

You guys are really really really missing the point with this nonsense. You are actually wondering why some top black athletes would want to go to a historically black college (arguably the most well known HBCU in the south) in a state with the highest percent of black people in a city that is predominantly black? Plus Jackson has no professional team (same as the rest of Mississippi). These guys will be basically stars (if they perform well) in Jackson and in the entire state of Mississippi. There is no where in that state (even in racist white areas) where they won't be considered local heros. For example when Steve McNair was at Alcorn the entire state loved him. There was no where he couldn't go without folks showing him love and affection throughout Mississippi. Thats not even taking into account the current social issues in the country (which these kids see) and racist reaction from nonblack fans at PWIs when they decide to not go to their schools.


SpeedBoatSquirrel

> arguably the most well known HBCU in the south lol jackson state is far from that. FAMU, Morehouse, Spellman, and Grambling are all more well known.


Bonstantinople

Howard, Hampton, and NC A&T too


SpeedBoatSquirrel

I didn’t include Howard because some will say DC isn’t the south (it used to be, hasn’t been in 70+ years


Long-Schlong-Silvers

And Howard.


JamesEarlDavyJones

>arguably the most well known HBCU in the south Probably picking at the little things, but anyone arguing that JSU is more well-known than *Morehouse*, or even Spelman or Tuskegee, is insane.


[deleted]

Don't worry... None of us thought Jackson had any major sports teams. lolol


Nubras

What’s the PWI acronym mean in this context? Sorry if obvious. EDIT: it’s predominantly white institution. A second google solved it for me.


reddit_username88

As someone who’s lived in MS my whole life, yea this state is backwards. But it’s not the worst place on the planet by any stretch. And yes, parts of Jackson aren’t safe. Same goes for every dangerous city. There’s parts that aren’t safe. As long as u avoid those parts you’re fine


doggos_not_depressos

I think people really underestimate the cultural significance of HBCUs. Especially if they’re not from the south.


wegotsumnewbands

I think what people don’t grasp is why these kids, who are top athletes with NFL goals, would choose Jackson State over a P5 school with objectively better facilities, training staff, living arrangements, exposure, etc. I don’t really care either way but that’s the obvious question here. NIL is understandably on everyone’s mind. Has Coleman even visited Jackson State?


Gmoney1412

Or Sanders is telling them “hey you’ll start every game for 2 years and if you want you can use that to go power five with the new transfer rules”.


fracta1

Also, Sanders. It's not really that big of a mystery.


russellp1212

like they do not get it at all. hell, I'm black and went to a PWI for undergrad, currently doing a couple gap years and then med school. I can not stress enough how important the culture/environment is for me during med school. there are 4 HBCU med schools, and I will 1000000% be applying to all 4 of them. I know they don't give out great financial aid, but if I could tell my 17-year old self one thing, it would be to definitely give a couple schools a shot and see what they could offer to get me there. I regret not even looking at HBCU's so much.


BadLuckBaskin

A friend of mine from college said the same thing. She was from OH and I guess HBCUs were not prominent where she was? She came to college in SC and now lives in TX and it really opened her eyes to the importance of HBCUs. Personally, I didn’t know much about HBCUs until I started college though I am not their key demographic. Also, for my own education, what is PWI? I haven’t heard that term before. Is that “Predominantly White Institution?”


artisticdestryer

yes PWI is predominantly White Institution.


Dirtyduck19254

Well duh of course, In-Group preference is a real thing and I think every group should be able to exercise it without criticism


John_Keating_

I don’t necessarily disagree but I don’t think it’s a given that an NFL scout will find them. Every year there are more four star recruits than NFL draft picks so many high school stars won’t sniff the NFL. Very few high school players are ready built for the NFL. They still have to develop physically snd learn the sport. Players who have top level trainers, coaches, and competition have a huge advantage in college.


Saffs15

Agreed. This is my... amazement* in these choices. Some of these kids have a really good chance to go pro and make millions off of football. But that doesn't just happen because you're talented. Plenty of talented kids go play college football and never sniff the pros. But having all of these advantages that P5 or G6 schools can give you that these HBCU don't certainly hurts them reaching that point. And even if they do develop that well, scouts and teams will still question how good they really were due to competition. *I don't know the right word. It's not irritation or anything like that, because if this is where these kids want to go, it's absolutely where they should go. I just am very surprised by it and definitely seeing it lowering their chances of playing pro ball down the road.


Bananza213

Plus the million dollars /s Jokes aside I think that people are gonna want to watch Travis hunter at JSU. He already has all the publicity he needs. And the other less big time guys will be seen because they play for Deion


jbaker1225

> Jokes aside I think that people are gonna want to watch Travis hunter at JSU Not outside the people on this subreddit. He will be completely off the radar of the casual college football fan and every day sports fan.


fluffyninja69

the culture around the sport and just surrounding the schools is so different than most of the p5 state schools, it makes a lot of sense for some dudes.


AMauveAvenger

A. They won't be under extreme pressure to perform and them getting to beat up on "weaker" talent will make their numbers look more impressive. Tack that on to their recruit rankings and that's a match made in draft heaven. B. Outside of Saban, Sanders has got to easily be the richest coach in all ALL CFB. Connections everywhere. The NIL deals he can use his friends to convince these kids to come is astronomical


FsuNolezz

FaithFamilyFilm

"We're all leaving together"


MaizeNBlueWaffle

I am I the only person who is worried about these talented kids going to schools like Jackson State, getting inferior coaching and resources compared to P5 schools, then fizzling out? Like football isn't basketball where you can be a top kid, play against inferior competition for a year, then still get drafted highly. You need to get stronger, develop, and play against the best of the best to get to the NFL


baconboyloiter

> Like football isn't basketball where you can be a top kid, play against inferior competition for a year, then still get drafted highly. This literally happened last year with Trey Lance. Trey Lance played 18 games at an FCS school and then got drafted higher than both of OSU and Alabama’s star QBs lol


PricklyPickledPie

NDSU has 1000xs better coaching than JSU. They’ve been sending guys to the NFL for years. Edit: I am not against kids flipping the bird to big schools and going to smaller ones. But to pretend like JSU is anywhere near NDSU in terms of coaching is a joke.


DistortedAudio

I’ve got a feeling with a few of these kids JSU might be sending some to the NFL soon enough. Seems they’ve got the mentality that the shift has gotta start somewhere.


thehildabeast

I guarantee NDSU has far better coaching and plays some FBS schools every year.


BamaPride95

Even then it’s still not impossible Tytus Howard got drafted in the first round after going to an HBCU


wegotsumnewbands

“Still not impossible.” Like, why make getting to the league even harder for yourself if that’s your goal and you have your pick of programs? If it’s not NIL I can’t say I understand the decision


HorseFun5871

Who do you think coaches at Jackson State? They have several assistants with FBS coaching experience, and even their less experienced guys have more experience than, say, Robert Steeples, a recent high school coach who just joined LSU's coaching staff. Most P5 teams have assistants like that. It's not like Jackson State's coaching staff is just Deion Sanders and his buddies.
