FL dropped that kid. Told him he couldn't sign with them. Same for the GA kid.

If I was a 17 or 18 year old DB it doesn't matter who offers me if Deion Sanders walks into my house with an offer I'm going to be interested. Who wouldn't want to learn from arguably the best CB to ever play the game? Now I can't say how that may affect other position groups but if Sanders does well I won't be surprised if he gets a recruit or two we're shooting for every year and worst case scenario is if he moves up to a D1 school like a USM or Memphis then watch out.
The attrition we are seeing are just guys who can?t play at this level or don?t want to compete....we still have some dead weight
Deion may have a natural bond with a lot of the players, but I don't see him as being much of a coach, especially a head coach. He just doesn't seem to have the temperament. Besides, my observation over many years is that great players don't usually make great coaches, for whatever reason. Maybe it's because their extreme skills just can't translate into something that's coachable. Anyway, my guess is that he will flame out in a few years unless he can attract enough talent to win purely on talent.
There's a reason he couldn't sign. And JSU is waiting on a couple kids still too. They got a good plan and some connections. Take the transfers and the kids that cant get into other schools. Get the marginal MS talent.
I watched his HS a few times this year, coaching will be a question. Especially the HS guys he brought. But it's the SWAC. He should be able to have success. Give JSU credit, they went all in and took a big chance.
Some schools could learn from that.
