Grambling Recruiting Heavily on the West Coast, Florida HBCU Mega Camp Sets a Great Precedent

Grambling is investing in the west with high schoolers from California and transfers from UNLV, Utah, and UCLA. FAMU, Bethune Cookman, Edward Waters, and Florida Memorial set a great precedent with the Florida HBCU Mega Camp, and Alabama State is the 2022 SWAC baseball champions and will be facing University of Tennessee next. 

Grambling has been recruiting heavily on the west during this draft cycle. Most HBCU rosters I’ve seen, the players are mostly in state prospects and prospects from neighboring state. Last year, there was only 3 players who were either from the west or transferred from a western school. This recruiting cycle alone Grambling brought in 7 players who either went to high school in the west or college in the west.

The Florida HBCU mega camp is a great precedent to set. All of the HBCUs in Florida came together to make the event huge. I love this because we may compete, but family and building the HBCU brand is still prevalent at the end of the day. FAMU, Bethune Cookman, Edward Waters, and Florida Memorial threw the event, but there was 14 other HBCUs there as well.

Alabama State beat Southern in a 5 hour baseball game. The game was worth it to decide a conference champion. Offensively, it seemed like when one team scored the opponent did too, but when one wasn’t scoring the other followed suit. Next up is a trip to Tennessee for the Knoxville regionals.
