    Football recruiting

    Goodin seems to be trending to us. Any chance we could get him qualified?

    I'm assuming we get Kobe jones and lashley. Any idea on when they could pull the trigger?

    AJ brown and Simmons are obviously huge for this class. What do you put the % of us getting each one?

    Any of our current commits really underrated? Any of our current recruits that could push for playing time next season?

    Also, would you recruiting guys agree that our biggest positions of need right now are at DL, OL, and a few big outside WR's?

    Since I don't get real into recruiting until closer to February, do we have any other big WR's on our board right now outside of AJ Brown? I feel like we look great in the slot for the next few years, but losing Bear and Morrow this season will be a shot to the size we've gotten somewhat accustomed to over the last few seasons.

    Also, what other OL are we targeting outside of Lashley?

    You mean Benny Brown 2.0? Erroll Thompson is a smasher. He comes from the same school as Benny, but this guy lays the wood. He's not an OLB like Benny..... I think we'll move him to DE. I think he's not highly rated because he's extremely raw. But honestly, there's not an offensive lineman in high school that can stop him from blitzing.

    EDIT: I know you said OL..... but I'm pumped about Erroll.

    I think our best current commit is Cam Dantzler. I really like this kid and think he could play a number of different positions from WR to CB to S. If LSU offers, it could get interesting.

    Paul has AJ and Simmons as above 50/50 so I will defer to Paul though we know it will be a fight until signing day with those 2. AJ needs to realize Kiffen is going to target the hell out of Ridley for the next 2 years at least.

    I think we have a chance at a very nice O-line class: Lashley and Davis at OT, Parker and Nalls inside. Hopefully we can bring Flowers back and then you have Eiland who is a project.

    Looking at the rest of the class, hopefully Durr can come in this spring and be ready to make an immediate impact. Glad Dontea Jones got a year at Prep school under his belt. And I think we have 2 under-rated guys from LA in Allen and Morgan-Walker.

    Looks like we may not sign a QB. And we may not sign a RB, or maybe just 1. So that's going to keep our ranking down.

    More so than any previous class under Mullen, this is a late developing class. What I mean is we are going to have to close stronger than usual with several uncommitted prospects.

    Really hope you're right. Those 2 will make or break our class IMO. We need both, not 1

    I've seen both play a few times...if we could only get 1 it needs to be Simmons, hands down.

    Well of course. Big time DT's are more scarce than WR's.

    he's referring to the fact that AJ said he was looking to get out of Starkville for college since he has lived there his whole life. But a lot of kids say that early on. As time goes on, it looks better for us. Simmons is the one I'm nervous about.

    Any chance these 2 could be a package deal?

    That's not what I'm referring to

    Coach, does Simmons have enough speed to play JACK LB in a 3.4 D? The size is just right...

    Also, I'd love to hijack AJ... I've heard really good stuff bout em...

    There is a rumor on another message board that Alabama has a tailback transferring here in the spring. Former 4 star recruit.

    I'd be unbelievably happy with that pull.
