I know recruiting is not everyone's first interest, but without a season to talk about, figured I might as well add this to the board...a lot of solid San-Antonio area players were offered by UMHB yesterday. There's a RB out of John Jay HS by the name of Xadrian Huerta who has 3 D1 FCS offers, two of which are Ivy League schools. Exceptional ball carrier.

About 5 players were offered by UMHB yesterday:

Haven't had a chance to mention this during the year but just wanted to say my dad and I both read almost all the content you write and absolutely 100% will be following intently on the recruiting updates from True to the Cru! I think we have a chance to land some of the best recruits we've ever had now that we're a legit dynasty. Thank you for what you do!

That means a lot! I definitely have enjoyed connecting with the fan base over the last year or so of running the site. Recruiting coverage is something you hardly find at the D3 level, and in some ways, I think it elevates our coverage. Fans want to know about the future of the program as well as the current team.

I would agree with that assessment. A number of players already offered hold D2 and solid NAIA offers. A couple even have some D1 FCS offers. The team will be stacked next fall...looking forward to getting out to spring practice to see how the team is coming along, and some of the transfers, including HSU's Caleb Bell, in action. Bell could be a huge contributor on the D-Line.

Appreciate it! Enjoyed covering Linfield when they came to Belton...hope I get the chance to cover the Wildcats again at some point in the near future...wouldn't surprise me if the two met in the playoffs again down the road

Agreed, the write up when BSC came in for the playoffs was very well written.  Some schools do a great job with their media and game day production, other schools it seems it's not even an after thought.

Not a thing, just like nobody forced B-SC to move from D-I.

I know, just being hopefully sarcastic.   ;D

We dropped from D1 just before adding football, kinda wish we would have gone to D2 for scholarship opportunities for our athletes, but I'm still happy with our position.

I think B-SC is better off in D-3. You are in a conference with your academic peers.

...and take it from me, a McMurry alum, your scholarship money is more appropriately distributed.  Yes, you might get 1 or 2 standout student athletes in a D-2 model, but your whole student body benefits in D-3

No doubt we are where we need to be.  I'd rather be in a conference and ultimately a division that mostly matches our position, than be in a conference with not like minded institutions.

Not sure I see UMHB missing a beat with this change.  Congrats to Fredenburg on a great career, you guys need to build a statue and name some stuff after that guy.

I kind of figured. I wouldn't have been surprised if he retired after 16 or 18 even. Coach Harmon been here for 20 years and the promotion is well deserved!
