Congratulations to Kanye on App State signing. I got my Masters there and love the place. But I also LOVE Lenoir Rhyne University. Wish these D2 schools got more attention. Lenoir Rhyne's Kyle Dugger, New England Patriots Free Safety, proved you do not have to go to "the big school" to get attention.
Dugger had no offer at all coming out of high school, except LR. How many other great players get missed, over looked, because they did not develop until their senior year, did not have the money to go to camps, etc.
Great educations and playing time are available at the LR's, Catwaba's, Barton's, WS State, Newberry's, Mars Hill's etc. And the pro scouts show up regularly at the D2 camps. Dugger's senior year, there were scouts (that is plural) at every LR game.
Can you imagine how many are at the App State Games? Sometimes I think we under sell the opportunities that D2 schools as well as NONE ACC/SEC schools offer great players.
