Eddie George and his staff drew a circle on a map. The Tennessee State football coach settled on 250 miles: Within that radius from the Tigers’ campus on John A. Merritt Blvd., George wants to “dominate” the recruiting scene — not the lower tier of it, not the middle tier, the entire thing from top to bottom. “Five-star (prospects), four-stars, three-stars and in between,” he said. That’s a lofty goal. Historically black colleges and universities are enjoying renewed interest from high-major basketball recruits —  it’s believed Maker Makur was the first five-star recruit to sign with an HBCU when he chose Howard over bluebloods Kentucky and UCLA last year — but high-end football recruits have been a more difficult sell.
