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 Tigersâ campus on John A. Merritt Blvd., George wants to âdominateâ the recruiting scene â not the lower tier of it, not the middle tier, the entire thing from top to bottom.
âFive-star (prospects), four-stars, three-stars and in between,â he said.
Thatâs a lofty goal. Historically black colleges and universities are enjoying renewed interest from high-major basketball recruits â  itâs 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 â but high-end football recruits have been a more difficult sell.
