Recruiting talk

This kid looks like a potential target for a program like ours. All he does is win under the radar.

The article says Millbrook lost to eventual state champion New Bern. New Bern forfeited that championship. There was no 2022 4A champion in NC.

Perhaps our football coaches could share travel expenses with our basketball coaches. We should be all in for Colt Langdon, Millbrook '25.

I saw lots of young folks I didn't recognize today. Recruits? They saw a fun game and a fun atmosphere.

I don't know anything about Eric Heal's academics or college interests, but he'll help somebody. He came up big late in tonight's win over AL Brown.

AJ Adams figured prominently in Crest's big win last night. On to the west semis. https://amp.charlotteobserver.com/sport ... 66208.html

I wonder where Tater Huskey will play his college ball. That kid is a winner.

Davidson was mentioned with a Grimsley DB, Fredrick Sellars, II. Grimsley defeated Hough last night to advance to the West 4A semifinals.

His father has been the Principal at 2 Greensboro schools: Jackson Middle School and the Academy at Smith, which is an intense academic program within Smith High School.

Smith had a hoopster who played for Brown in recent years.

Davidson has received a commitment from Alex Jones of Greensboro Page. He's a DL and is a two time all conference selection.

He's also a hoopster for Page, which upset Grimsley in the last few days.

Congratulations, Alex!

This young man was a very early commit to Davidson. He attended many invitational only prospect camps, including Auburn and Duke.

Lamar Bolden - defensive back from Louisiana. 4.48 40y. Another early offer and commit. Looks like also got interest from Dartmouth, Grambling, and McNeese State.

Carson Coffman - 6'3" 270 OL from McCallie School. Looks like all the Ivies were after this lineman.

Alex Jones - Greensboro Page DL 6'3 245. All conference and team MVP. Received offer from Navy among others. Official visit to ECU as well.

Great. I’ll pass that along to fellow Shelbians. I had read some about his career at Crest and hoped he might follow his brother here.
