Late-arriving coaches pushed for quality over quantity for JSU

JACKSON, Mississippi  -- Jackson State is just getting started. It had 12 players sign Wednesday, but the coaching staff said it could have signed 25 guys.

“We wanted to take our time, hand-select our guys, strategically pick them, even though if somebody else liked them,” recruiting coordinator Antonio Knight said. “We wanted to get the guys that fit our program and what we do.”

The Tigers signed players mostly on the defensive line, secondary and offensive line — the biggest needs after losing key players from last year’s team. There’s reason to believe they are not finished signing players. Not by a long shot. With this being about half of the 2014 signing class, more signings should be on the way in the coming days.
