Andre Miller- I wish I had went to a HBCU

[daboywonder2002]

Basically he talks about how if he were recruited, he would have went to a HBCU. That seems to be the case with athletes though, HBCU'S just aren't recruiting. Thats why Andre went to University of Utah. No HBCUS recruited him or offered a scholarship.

I don't think HBCU budgets give it up like that for recruiting

We done put some football players in the league. Would be amazing to put some new NBA players in

What happened to that Howard movement a few years back?

they ended up getting like 3 of the top 75 recruits to seriously consider Them.

VSU Class of 2010

HBCUs don't have the money to recruit especially since most of them are in the southeast and Andre Miller is from LA.

 

[staticshock]

Some of them big white schools have a million plus budget just for recruiting.

There aren’t any HBCUS close to LA, so it would have been hard for HBCUS to constantly travel out there to him

 

[Rigby.]

It’s tough to tell super star athletes who probably getting 100000+ offers under the table to take it pon themselves to ask the HBCU to recruit them, but that’s feasibly the only way for it to work

 

[Crude]

The HBCUs don't have the state of the art facilities, top recruiters, appealing geographical locations (most are in rural southern areas), or budgets to compete with those PWIs.

Telling a 17, 18, 19 year old kid you can come play here when they know they can go to a PWI and play in front of 100,000 fans in a stadium while their game is nationally televised with pro scouts watching from the stands and watching it on TV is tough sell.

This is not to mention those players are treated like royalty at those PWIs. Its a tough sell for kids getting courted by those schools that are consistently putting players in the league and competing in Power 5 conferences.

I keep saying ppl need to stop telling these 18 (really 15/16 year olds because that’s the age most of them commit) to go to hbcus. It’s just not a realistic feat for you to convince enough of them in large numbers to make any difference. Use that energy to go to these millionaire and billionaire athletes and entertainers to put some money up and build up a schools budget and facilities to be able to compete better on the recruiting front. That’s the only way a hbcu movement would happen otherwise it’s going be nothing but some cool shyt to say

Hbcus arr.horribly mismanaged and arguably just as anti black in course material and faculty as pwi.

Got to hbcus webpages and look at the facilty list.

They dont hire black americans or hbcu grads. All they want are indians, africans, and chinese and whites.

Theyll spend money funneling shyt to worthless board members from the.civil rights era, who hate the.students and wish they were with the white folks.

On top of that, hbcus still ezploit these kids like pwi. Its no better for them to be.ezploited by a lack puppet than a white person.

Pay these kids professionaly, fukk a pwi or hbcu

blue chip prospects are coming from highschools with better set-ups than the hbcu that would be trying to recruit them it's tough*

I knew you'd be in here. Was just bout to @ you.

Nikkas be quick to call cats out for being c00ns in any number of subjects ....

But as soon as this one comes up....all we get is reasons it won't work

Of course its hard. Why would you expect it wouldn't be.

It can still be done
