    Here?s the thing. After 2023, it was going to be a massive process to rebuild the program. We were low on talent. The culture had gone down. We didn?t have even a skeleton of an in house NIL structure.

    Some want to skip steps in the process. I get it.

    Jeff Lebby walked into an untenable situation. There wasn?t a coach available to us that would have come in and immediately start flipping 4 and 5 star recruits.

    However, Jeff came in a damn near flipped a couple. Daniel Hill being one. He closed strong with MVB, Craver, and Stonka that year. Some didn?t pan out. The others transferred out.

    Year two, he closed even stronger. He got Tyler Lockhart. He kept Kamario Taylor. He added Ferzell Shepherd.

    He has closed strong again. We just missed out on flipping a couple more.

    It may not be fast enough for some, but Jeff Lebby knows what he is doing. He?s got the financial backing now. Hit the portal hard. Win 8 next season. We might be at that point where we are actually getting more and more higher rated recruits.

    You know the drill, sign with MSU lose a star. The difference in 3 star and 4 star is a hair anyway. No worries.

    Never know. Our kicker is signing with A&M Friday and he's been 100% committed for a few months. Kids want their moment

    Lebby did a really good job closing this week. He has gotten well deserved criticism but today was a good day for him and us. We need to go tear it up in the portal.

    I took this to mean a kid at his school was signing with them on Friday.
