Give me your thoughts

This is a question I’ve thought about with the beginnings of the portal, and even more so now with NIL. I would love for kids to stay and excel here for their 4-5 years of school, but should we begin to sell ourselves to some of the borderline high 3 low 4 ⭐️ guys that don’t have just a slew of P5 offers to come use us as a JUCO?

Again, I kinda hate the thought, but it just seems to be the way the world of college football works these days.

A-State Recruiting RedWolfReport Recruiting Blitz - December 3, 2023

It is that time of the year again when Arkansas State football coaches will turn their attention to recruiting in order to help fill the remainder of the Class of 2024, in addition to hitting the Class of 2025 hard as well.

I've been impressed with the recruiting efforts of Butch Jones and his staff since they have gotten here, and they are looking to close out the year strong. They will get on the road this week to do some recruiting before returning to begin bowl prep.

With that being said, this is the first installment of the RedWolfReport.com Recruiting Blitz to give subscribers an inside look at some things that are going on along the recruiting trail for the Red Wolves.

As always this information is for REDWOLFREPORT.COM SUBSCRIBERS ONLY. I ask that no screen shots of this list be taken and shared, and I also ask that the list not be taken and shared. Additionally, I ask that this information is not shared on the RedWolfReport Facebook Group.

To begin, the Red Wolves picked up two commitments today:

Jaylen Boardley is a HUGE get for this staff. He has NUMEROUS power five offers.

Baker North is another big get for this team. He will add some much needed depth to the offensive line.

Also, as stated, Arkansas State coaches will be hitting the road this week to go see several recruits. There is a whole list of guys they will be going out to see starting Monday.

I'm not going to list all of the commits. They will be receiving in home visits beginning this week. You can view all of those guys by CLICKING HERE.

The remaining guys will most likely put info out on social media as they receive their visits. They are targeting several athletes committed to other schools, so we don’t want to potentially tip off opposing coaching staff members.

Sunday morning!

Sunday morning always feels great after a Redwolves win! This Sunday morning feels even better after beating LaLa. I feel like our team has absolutely turn the corner. Bowling is a real possibility! I think Butch Jones process has taken us a little longer than we expected but I do think it is working. What a game!

A-State Football This team has come a long way this year

I've been thinking about where everything is up to this point with the 2023 football season, and this team has come a long way this year.

I can remember sitting back and watching the Oklahoma game and being so frustrated that I had to talk myself off of a ledge. In fact, I had a phone conversation with @indian744 where he told me I needed to chill out and come to my sense, because I was pretty upset. Then there was the Memphis game. Despite the OU debacle I thought this was a winnable game for the Red Wolves. I was disappointed with how the team performed there as well.

Then, we saw Stony Brook. I've got to be honest, thing's weren't going to great there until we saw the QB change in the second half. When Raynor came in there was a whole new energy that presented itself and I could tell there was something there. I remember thinking that had he played against Memphis you very well may have seen a win there.

The one game I wish this team could get back is the Coastal Carolina game. That is a game this team should have won. This team should be bowl eligible right now. There were some mistakes made that hurt the team. When you add that to the incompetent officiating we all saw, well, you have a loss you shouldn't have had.

These past two weeks have been fun, as well. ESPECIALLY watching this team run the ball right down the throats of Louisiana. Even as a guy in the media I just like seeing the Red Wolves beat that team.

There are three left. South Alabama this week on the road, Texas State at home next week, and Marshall on the road to close out the regular season. You have to find a win at one of these spots in order to get bowl eligibility. All three are going to be tough opponents, but this team is capable of doing it.

Speaking of bowl eligibility, lets be honest, how many thought we would even be discussing such a thing after the first two weeks?
