Raynor's two pick-sixes, injury-riddled game not enough to slow the pack, A-State wins again

‣ Arkansas State wide receiver Nana Burris had often gone under the radar behind Corey Rucker and Hunter Summers, but tonight, everybody ate, including Burris and his 100+ yard game.

Southern Miss ain't no slouch - see mine and Caesar's conference championship losses :yep: - so grats on that win.

Like the idea of putting where recruits you lost out on go - I usually just delete them off the board. They're dead to me at that point lol
They're dead to me too, but I've got a hit on them at this point. They're going to see me at some point.

Baity heads to Western Kentucky, A-State lands new corner, pivot shift incoming
By Olivia Scott | Jonesboro Newsletter

The Red Wolves swung and miss with their Swiss-army knife recruit, three-star athlete Ben Baity out of Birmingham, Alabama, as he closed down his recruitment and committed to Western Kentucky after meeting head football coach Butch Jones and offensive coordinator Nico Augustine.

To put extra salt in the wound, recently targeted SAM linebacker Jayden Biggers, a junior college sophomore who stands at 6-foot-4 and 222 lbs, also decided to close up shop and commit to Sun Belt foe, Old Dominion. Junior college sophomore cornerback Kevin Beach, another target recently added to A-State's board, is sorting between Texas State and Arkansas State.

Luckily, the Red Wolves did get the commitment from two-star cornerback Matthew Brown, who was weighing options from USF and Coastal Carolina. He was on campus for A-State's last game against Louisiana, and committed shortly after returning back to Stuart, Florida where he currently resides. A rangy corner with exceptional speed and a winning pedigree, Brown will help refill a cupboard that is soon to be empty from departing seniors (and perhaps being negatively impacted by the transfer portal this off-season).

The team is expected to make some late runs for new targets, while also in a dogfight for the services of three-star safety Duke Golden with UAB.
