2026 HS/JC Football Recruiting

[Goldendawg]

It's about building depth and having bodies to practice. Out of that 22 there's probably 6-8 that can contribute in the next 2 years. I'm just being honest. There's just not many HS players out there that can contribute Day 1. I mean take a look at our class last year. 3 of our top 5 recruits haven't sniffed the field and Kamario plays sparingly. Lockhart is finally getting some run.

Thanks, appreciate your post, but it's sure not keeping 47 teams ahead of us at this point with loading up with many highly rated 3 stars, 4 stars and 5's to the Bluest of Bloods. I read about our class last year, HS and Portal was for depth and get enough on the practice/scout team to even be able to have a positive practice session. So, your're telling me we have to do this two classes in a row? We are either poorer than I thought or no one very highly ranked in HS wants to play for a program rebuilding from the bottom, 0-8 last year. 0-2 this YTD and a 14 game SEC losing streak. Beat FL, win a couple more and get some meaningful flips, process some of these Scout team players, and also work the portal better. BTW, we hit the portal hard for OL last year and still having to play Luke Work, a true Soph out of position and Jimothy Lewis who is not ready. Read here we paid big $ for one in particular and the return on these investments is a weakness of the team even before the injuries. Must have had to overpay or poor evaluations for portal OL. Hail State!
