Leon Mackey reportedly signing with Texas Tech.

Wow I'm surprised. Dude had instant playing time at MSU. Really wished we had been able to either get him or keep Barron Dixon.

I thought we let Lloyd Allen go to make room for Mackey? I guess we're making room for next years JC recruits.... I've got a bad feeling about today.

Former HC at Hargrave Military Academy where Mackey also played a couple of years ago.Looks like he's one of their go-to recruiters from the list of recruits he's assigned to on Rivals.

and I apologize for my ignorance, but what is HMA? Is it a h.s. or a j.c. equivalent? I see a lot of players come from there and I have something like a correctional alternative boarding school image in my head.<div>Thanks in advance for the A.</div>

Mackey was on the post-grad football team.

who is obviously scared to play with the big boys. I wonder what conference he'll be playing in later in his college career.

next year. I have to think Mackey was going to fall short like Kelvin Bolden did last year.

 

[dawgstudent]

from your local high school (basically drop out because you know you won't qualify). Go to Hargrave - try to get that ACT score, play some football, and your college eligibility doesn't start like it does if you went to JUCO.

[dawgstudent]

which I assume it's paid for by other people a lot of the times but if you don't have that worked out - dropping 20K for Hargrave is not easy.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

I know people who have law and medical degrees from there. Texas hasa lot offlagships.

 

[tenureplan]

would kinda be ironic to call it a scholarship if so.
