This is why it's always best to let things play out and finish. Always plenty of time to bitch afterwards if it doesn't work out lol

And that was the point me and quite a few others were trying to make.

1) We aren't going to beat Bama for out of state guys most likely. At least not right now. So if Eddie Smith got a Bama offer there wasn't a thing we could do about it.

2) We missed on some OL. No one should be shocked. We were left with an awful start to OL recruiting, so Moorhead had to make up too much ground to try and get a legitimate OL in here. Sucks but that is where Mullen killed us the most.

3) We won some battles today and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. Good job by the staff and a good close for us.

Absolutely agree. I've learned over the years to be patient and let things play out cause you don't always finish where you start. It's why I don't panic in the first inning of a baseball game or in the first half of a football or basketball. Gotta let things finish and play out. Now if you don't finish the job then it's time to re-evaluate where you are. The staff did a great job making this a solid class. They pulled some guys that the previous staff would've just given up on. Proud of Joe and staff for their hard work and effort! New day for MSU football!

It's apparent that our new staff has a little bit of Bulldog in them as far as recruiting goes. This staff has given relentless effort on the recruiting trail. Yeah they missed on some but they never stopped working and got some guys that our previous staff would've probably just let go. They also had contingency plans for recruits as well. And this from a staff that's only been complete for a few week. Bodes well for the future.

The staff that came here from out side the south probably learned a lot about the past two months about recruiting here in the South. They know more going into next year about the nutt cutting way of recruiting down here.

Kameron Jones just signed..

This is good news. I know he's excited

[bostondawg]

Cameron Young has also signed. Not sure if anyone posted that.

[Commercecomet24]

2 more OLs is good. I know they were not the first choice but they want to be here and we all know we have had 2 stars and below turn into dang good offensive linemen. They want to be here so that means they are gonna work hard to develop. Glad to have them on board!

Happy for that young man! Always nice when a dream comes true.

You all might disagree but if there are decent 3 star guys out of starkville we have to take them. Just to keep other schools from being able to say we have a guy who passed on Miss State that is from that town. You don't think Ole Miss hasn't used that with Brown? I can hear it now "Brown was a life long state fan and he turned them down"

He could turn into a good SEC OL. THat we don't know yet.

I'm glad we went ahead and signed him now.

[Commercecomet24]

I love the fact our new staff didn't undersign and save "schollies". Its good to see us filling our class even if they aren't all "blue chippers". Always a chance a guy develops if you sign him, if you sign no one there's is absolutely zero chance.

Plus we have to stay in good graces with the coaches and underclassmen. They have a few studs coming up starting with Zach Edwards next year, a 4 star with offers from us, OM, LSU, and aTm already.

Bama signs 4 HS CB's today and a 5th, Savion Smith, signed in Dec. Wonder how Eddie feels right now?

[Tbonewannabe]

I don't mind signing the OL because you never can tell how they develop once they get in the training program. We also have to have the bodies at least for the scout team.

Yeah just look at Beckwith, Dillon Day, Elgton was a last minute guy, Senior wasn't highly rated, I know there's some others as well. OL are harder to evaluate than QB's. We have had as many 4 star OL busts as we have had lowly rated guys become very good players. That's why I like the fact we went ahead and signed these guys. You just never know with OL and even if they don't become all SEC they give us depth, they can play scout team and special teams.

He feels great because he gets to say he signed with Bama & he gets to wear Alabama t-shirts to class for the res of the year.

The interesting feeling will come about August 20th, when he realizes he is red shirting, 4th string, & a few of the FR he signed with are ahead of him on the depth chart.

Then the next interesting moment for him will come in October, when MSU is a top 10 team that he could be getting playing time for.
