Deion Calls Out Panthers, Along with 7 Other NFL Teams, For Not Sending a Single Scout to Jackson St. Pro Day

[BigDaddyPat65]

All about him… he got barstool to funnel him one 5 star and thinks he walks on water.  Must really care about the kids if he is going to restrict access from 7 potential employers to his players.

If you throw a party and no one shows up maybe the problem is you.

Lol. Always the showman. Using his celebrity to leverage teams that didn't show. Very smart marketing move. THIS coach knows what building is about.

I know the last time he played the Panthers he got KTFO but with his celebrity and his media savy, Deon could have been a better "builder" than Rhule the destroyer.

For one we would have still had franchise a QB until we drafted another on a down/injury year because Deon would have kept Ace Boogie on swag.

[Vagrant]

this is how you turn a nothing event into people talking about jackson state on television and giving the program more exposure for future recruits who are going to be like, "damn, deion is going to fight that hard for me when its my time." and secure a few extra talents by manipulating the media with his reputation. the real story is that there were that many teams that actually showed up to his three ring circus despite having no obvious NFL talent.

Lot of dumb on this thread

 

Coach Prime is doing GOD'S work with HBCU

 

 

He also landed the #1, #6 ranked prospects to Jackson St beating out the SEC

 

Also getting in transfer #5 ILB, #18 WR, #73 edge

It's not our scouts that should attend but Matt Rhule to learn how to make chicken salad out of chicken poo. Coach Prime is recruiting like hell and building something out of NOTHING

 

[Verge]

It does kind of show our programs consistent immaturity with little things like this. I don't know why we wouldn't have some form of representation there. 

[4Corners]

Ummmm maybe have some people there to look at potential PS players or UDFA? I know Rhule is terrible in player development but damn

why did he end up at jackson state? unfortunately I feel like rhule and co only are looking for choir boys.

Transfer portal.

Deion Sanders recruited him away from Florida to make him a centerpiece and showcase him in building a new program.

Same thing Jermaine Johnson did going from Georgia to FSU.

Big school teams that over promise and under deliver to their recruits to get them in the door are losing their players in the transfer portal. It's going to happen even more with the transfer portal. The NFL teams that pay attention to these players will get steals in the draft.

Players don't go to HBCUs because they can't cut it with a big school or they have legal problems. It's easier for them to showcase themselves and increase their value. Business decision. Why did Malik Willis go to Liberty?

Good point sir. 

I think you'll see more of the HBCU's having players get drafted on day 3 and as UDFA's over the next several years if more schools are successful in recruiting as Deion has been at Jackson State.

It's a given that the big programs will always have more players in the NFL than the smaller programs. But, when teams have low cap space, extra draft choices, or know there are players that have transferred from big programs as you outlined above, smaller schools are sure to have some hidden gems that could contribute to many NFL franchises.

We should make a thread for every college with a decent player that our scouts didn't go to! Over 100 threads, baby!

Excelling at a HBCU school does not mean you are the best at your craft. You're going up against players that aren't the same caliber as players in the SEC (his previous conference)  The NFL is made up of the best of the best. (even though some look terrible to us)   As a scouting department you have to pick and choose were you want to be.  One player at a pro-day that may not be in the window he's going to be selected.  When you have a pro day with 3 or 4 guys giving a workout.  You go with the 3 or 4 guy Pro Day.

I know that Deion recruited him to come out of Florida but maybe that was because he wasn't having as much success.  

His tape looks good but we saw what happened to David Moore.  He looked amazing on tape but when he got among talented players he just didn't pan out.  

I don't know about James Houston IV and have no idea whether he'll be a star or JAG or a flameout in camp.  I believe the Panthers decided it wasn't worth their time for a mid-round player. 

Plus as @MHS831 said.  If we're interested we can have him in for a private workout.

There are 132 NCAA division 1 football teams.

 There are 778 colleges that have football programs. 

Can't catch em all.

Isn’t it possible we’re not interested in any of their current crop of players? Why waste time if so.

is there anyone entering the draft that fits a need for us?
