I think we found a big piece of Mikail Kamara's 2025 package this morning. His brother, Amari, has signed. There doesn't appear to be any offers for him from anywhere and Taylor from BSB confirmed that he will be on scholarship.

(To be clear, I'm absolutely on board with whatever it took to get Mikail back)

To be fair, according to 247, we did beat out Averett University and Hampden-Sydney.

Raise your hand if you have heard of either school.

EDIT:

I looked it up and both schools are in Virginia and have undergrad enrollments under 1,000. The cherry on top for Hampden-Sydney is that it is an all-male school while Averett’s graduation rate is 42%…LOL

I realize a number of similar schools have closed but am still amazed that schools like these two still survive.

HH’s podcast with Fernando Mendoza. Haven’t listened to these guys in a good while, but will absolutely listen to this one.

I understand that the HH guys have “quirks”, which sour people, but they do produce some interesting interviews.  In addition to Mendoza I recommend their interview with Kamara. He is a very engaging, smart guy. It’s interesting to hear some of his comments about Cig.  He is obviously a fan but mentions that Cigs “public persona” at IU is totally different than what Kamara encountered at JMU. 

The beauty of the podcast is that you can fast forward through the HH banter and just listen to the interview. To the HH’s credit they do ask good questions.
