2018 Recruiting Thread

For the gloom and doom few on here. David Johnson has his CB prediction to MSU for Lovett and Reed this morning.

That?s some good news, at least to me.

Yep to me too. I probably shouldn't have put for the gloom and doom comment> I'll edit and delete that.

[Commercecomet24]

To add to all the gloom and doom and meltdowns ..

Of the top 5 guys we missed on. If we had the old staff still intact we prob just land 2 of them. ( McDowell and Bleich)
Carvin - Tenn
Smith - Bama
Bishop - would have still flipped to Arky
And I bet Mason would have still flipped as well.

So let’s see what the new staff can do now that they are all intact and have been here more than a minute or 2.

Agreed.

Since we have open scholarships, I wish we would offer Tylan Knight as a special teams specialist. He will probably sign with Ole Miss.

He will and he will make them better. If we dont offer bc our noses are up in the air about his size then we cant say anything about the OM attitude (thinking they are better than everyone for no reason)

[Pollodawg]

This why I don’t do recruiting. Moorhead has been here, what, three months, max. And this talk already?

Yeah I?m not in favor of us leaving schollies on the table especially with the cap coming.

Again.....there will not be scholarships that go "unused". I don't why people keep talking about this crap. Dan is gone.

So what is our number to have 85 scholarship players in the spring?

Of course that ensures that we will have "unused" scholarships in the spring (obviously we'll give them to somebody, but it will be upper classmen walkons) because we will have attrition after people get an idea of where they are on the depth chart.

Nobody has 85 scholarship players in the spring. Not when you're going to add 10-18 guys every year in the summer. Unless I'm not understanding your post.

From what I understand the total we have scholarships for is 21 I believe. Any more and you have to process that many out which Moorhead said he wasn’t going to do this year. We have 18 committed (1 sign and place) add Lovett and reed. We have 1 scholarship remaining unless someone processes themself.

It's 20 as of right now.

We only have 15 that have signed so if 21 is the max we have 6 left that we could sign next week.

We do have the 3 that are committed and If those 3 signed we would have 3 left.

I thought Moon transfer made it 21 but it is 20. 15 signed + commits Watson, Furdge, Patterson (s&p), and Lovett, Reed. That?s our 20 scholarships to get us at 85. For anyone we add someone else has to be proccessed

Yep that?s what it looks like unless we take somebody in lieu of one of those 3 that are committed now.

He won’t touch the field beyond KR/PR. But he will eat up a scholarship.

Sometimes a good KR/PR can be extremely valuable. I've seen us waste a lot of scholarships on other players, such as nonathletic OL, who never see the field and remain on the bench.

You won't find guys recruited simply to return kicks. Not in the SEC and with scholarship limits like are in place now. I like the fact that OM is going to burn one on a KR. Let them be down a scholarship for that crap.

Hes a KR/PR that won MVP of the MS/AL game for having 2 INTs and multiple tackles against kids with ''D1 Size'' at OLB

And it was an all star game. A kid that went to Delta State won MVP in it one time. But you can list all of the 5'7 DBs in the SEC if you want to. Then, all the ones in the NFL. It's just not happening. I'm sure he's a good athlete and kid.
