January 06, 2022 09:00 - 26 minutes - 25 MBIsaiah Land is a finalist for Buck Buchanan Award, best defensive player in FCS.

Is Deion Sanders' 40-40-20 Recruiting Method Effective?
January 04, 2022 09:00 - 27 minutes - 25.3 MBDeion Sanders has a very interesting way of recruiting for Jackson State. He calls it the 40-40-20 method. This is 40% grad transfers, 40% from the portal, and 20% from high school. I look at if this is a good method or not and then also the benefits and consequences from this. Eddie George has built up a nice program at Tennessee State. This is only his first year however they have achieved more success than in previous years. At 5-6 I think Tennessee State is on the rise. George should be...

Those are 2 programs from the SWAC that had great seasons. More than just their success, the personal ties he has at both of those schools are what has piqued his interest. This is also the first tangible impact we've seen from Travis Hunter's decision. Trumaine Watson, Virginia State assistant head coach, will be coaching in the East-West shrine game. The B...
Isaiah Land Staying at FAMU is a Win for HBCUs
December 28, 2021 09:09 - 27 minutes - 25.6 MBIsaiah Land says he is staying at FAMU despite Power 5 schools trying to recruit him. There is definitely an appeal to going to the SEC, ACC, Big 10, Big 12, or Pac 12. Land is deciding he’d rather be in FAMU making black history. Good for him for doing what he wants to do, but this is a huge win for HBCUs. You want to gain big time talent, but you don’t want lose talent you’ve developed either. Kevin Porter is the new HC at Central State. Porter has an extensive coaching history going bac...
Benedict Off to Hot Start| Is This the Year Savannah State Knocks Them Off Though
December 27, 2021 17:20 - 26 minutes - 24.9 MBBenedict College’s women’s basketball team has been a force in the SIAC for a while now. This year is no different. They’re undefeated just like Savannah State. So when I say you can’t talk SIAC women’s basketball and not mention Benedict College, I’m not simply focusing on their past. Their present is pretty bright too. They’ve won 8 out of their last 9, and a big reason for that is newfound offense. Benedict has been good and has been a thorn in the side of Savannah State since SSU has ca...
Bowie State is NOT the HBCU National Champions
December 23, 2021 09:30 - 29 minutes - 27.6 MBJackson State’s loss is allowing some to object to the crowned HBCU champions, South Carolina State. Now other schools are claiming fame.

Ric Garni from 11 Alive in Atlanta joins the show to discuss Travis Hunter’s signing day. He details the buzz from before the announcement and also what came after. In Garni’s interview with Hunter, Hunter s...

NFL to HBCU Dream Coaching Scenarios
December 21, 2021 09:30 - 28 minutes - 26.1 MBDeion to Jackson State. Hue Jackson to Grambling. I pick some former NFL players/ coaches to come to HBCUs. I didn’t pick all the teams but I did select Texas Southern, Mississippi Valley State, and Prairie View A&M. Let’s see who I chose to step in to be the new HC. Shaq Davis just put himself on the map with his Celebration Bowl performance. He was producing big time plays including a TD followed by a Primetime Shuffle. Davis was full of confidence, and he showed why in front of a sold o...

December 20, 2021 17:51 - 31 minutes - 29.3 MBSouth Carolina dominates Jackson State in the Celebration Bowl, and Corey Fields Jr played a big part in the victory. I called him out in the week leading up to the game and he answered the call. He answered emphatically with 4 touchdowns and a couple of really big time throws This game really highlights a huge problem JSU has been facing leading up to this game. The offense has not been clicking late in the season. In this game, it was due to the Shadeur Sanders and the offensive line stru...

December 16, 2021 12:55 - 26 minutes - 24.2 MBIn a very unexpected move, Jackson State has flipped the number one recruit in the nation, Travis Hunter, from Florida State. Hunter is a longtime Seminole commit which made the decision even more shocking. This is easily the highest ranked via ESPN an HBCU has ever had. We get into why there was no one else who could pull this off and likely not with any other player. We continue going as we discuss how this cemented the change in view of HBCUs. Instead of being somewhere people settle on ...
ESPN-MEAC Basketball in Disappointing Partnership
December 15, 2021 09:30 - 1 second - 329 KBI am completely not a fan of the MEAC Basketball TV schedule. I have 3 reasons for my displeasure: amount of games, lack of showcasing for the whole conference, and women aren’t on TV enough. I don’t know if this is on the MEAC or ESPN. Regardless of who this is on, it is a disappointing result. Norfolk State, Howard, Maryland Eastern Shore, Morgan State, North Carolina Central, South Carolina State, Delaware State, Coppin State make up the MEAC and the coverage should reflect that. Terry B...

December 14, 2021 09:30 - 27 minutes - 25.1 MBThe FCS has just released their all HBCU team. This combines the top players from the MEAC, SWAC, & Tennessee State. There are some interesting takeaways from this list and we dove into all of them. The Celebration Bowl being in Atlanta has one big benefit for Jackson State and South Carolina State, recruiting. Neither team recruits heavily in Georgia. Last year’s recruiting class makes up the majority of recruits from that area. Playing the biggest game of the year in Atlanta gives them a...
Celebration Bowl feels weird without North Carolina A&T
December 13, 2021 09:00 - 28 minutes - 26.5 MBFor the first time in 4 years, North Carolina A&T won’t represent the MEAC in the Celebration Bowl. Matter of fact, they’re not even in the MEAC anymore. To this point, they were the only MEAC team to win a Celebration Bowl. This game just feels weird without the Aggies. As they should, Grambling is treating Hue Jackson like a big deal. It didn’t take Jackson long to get recruiting. He and the Grambling team are making good use of social media. Also they are going on a physical tour throug...

December 10, 2021 12:42 - 30 minutes - 28.5 MBAfter parting ways with Coach Fobbs, Grambling is on the prowl for a new head coach. All reports point to Hue Jackson signing on to be the new HC.

JSU Football injects $30 million into Jackson
December 09, 2021 11:00 - 31 minutes - 28.7 MBJackson State football has put $30 million into the Jackson, Mississippi economy.

Now that Eric Dooley has left Prairie View, they are looking for a new head coach. I have a couple of names already related to HBCUs that the Panthers should look at. As long as they aren't looking to go the interim route, these are names that should at l...

December 08, 2021 08:15 - 26 minutes - 24.8 MBThere has been come controversy around Bryce Whitt’s invite to the HBCU Legacy Bowl.

We look at what both of these players have accomplished To wrap up today’s episode we look at Tennessee State’s decision to renovate their weight room....

December 07, 2021 08:00 - 27 minutes - 25.9 MBThe TSU men's basketball team pulls off a historic upset over #20 Florida. This was the first time in history a SWAC program had beat a ranked SEC team. This is major as Texas Southern's victory will now be national news and a game they can point to to show recruits. After coming in as 23 point underdogs, they ended with a 15 point victory. Though coming into the game 0-7, they are from from a 0-7 team. This game vs Florida proved that. Southern University was in need of a new coach. When t...

The offense didn't have their best day, but the other 2 units picked up the slack. Other than 2 explosive plays that led to points, Prairie View's offense was held in check. Just like the other games before this, JSU's defense was the best unit on the field. They forced 5 turnovers and returned one for a touchdown. Special teams also scored a touchdown of their own on a kickoff. That was just one of many go...

Deion Sanders says Jackson State having no players make 1st team All SWAC offense is 'foolishness.' Is he right?
December 01, 2021 07:54 - 29 minutes - 27.1 MBJackson State HC Deion Sanders says JSU having no 1st team all SWAC players foolishness. Specifically, he pointed out the QB position.
