2018 Recruiting Thread

[Todd4State]

LOL

What's happened in OL recruiting over the past 2 classes is incompetence. No other way to explain it.

Dollar Bill is a GREAT get, but he's the only one we have committed in 2018.

Between Siddiq Charles, Cole Smith, Cushenberry, Shawn Rawlings, Javon Patterson, Lashely, Etc, it's been one kick in the nuts after another at that position and no one seems to be taking pride in making it better.

It's like we play musical chairs at that position every year and always get left without a seat.

I've noticed a common theme between many of them- "Mississippi State just wasn't talking to me or seemed to be as interested in me as __." Now that's not every case to be clear but I have a feeling that probably explains Lashley and Cole Smith to a degree- and those two should have been slam dunks for a below average recruiter. Charles actually was one of the guys that said my quote when he committed to LSU.

A guy like Dolla Bill who is a legit 4-5 star guy that wants to go to MSU and completely shut down his recruitment is rare and is a once every ten years kind of thing.

I would not be surprised AT ALL if he doesn't sign with us. I've just completely come to expect it at this point.. I never once thought Lashley was going anywhere besides MSU then Hev screwed that one up. I wouldn't put anything past him.. we should be calling Kwatrivous every single day acting like he isn't committed and treating him like the 5 star recruit at our biggest position of need that he is.

Maybe we became overconfident after giving up a mere 16 sacks to Alabama and OM in 2015.***

Then followed that up by only giving up 18 total last season (2nd in sec)

It helps having the fastest white boy in the country playing QB.

I guess dak was too immobile

Dak is solid runner, but Fitz is elite.

There really isn't much comparison between their running ability

Dak is great at evading the rush, though. We didn't go from Peyton Manning to Michael Vick.

Since we have 22 commits and only four obvious takes other than OL (Williams, Crumedy, Guidry and Whop), I would hope the whole staff is combing the country for OLs.

You're saying that we have accepted 18 commits in August that are questionable as to whether we should take them?

I've got to think you're being a little over pessimistic there.

I think you misread his comment.

He's saying we have 22 now plus 4 more targets that are takes regardless of what happens

Hell what about that OL that decommited from Mississippi, Blaine Scott, 6'4" 310 lbs 247 composite .8822. Maybe we should be talking to him. He's a W. Virginia lean, but if he committed to UM, he might consider us.

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

...but if he committed to UM, he might consider us.

So what are you implying exactly?

[bostondawg]

So what are you implying exactly?

I think he was simply implying that Scott doesn't mind moving from Ohio all the way to Mississippi to play football. Given that fact, he might consider the extra 1.5 hours to Starkville. I don't think he was implying anything more than that.

Kid would be a great pickup for us when we are in desperation mode for OL. I'd love to see us recruit him.

I knew he wasn't I was just kidding. But I had to do it.

Haha, fair enough. Didn't want anyone to think he was comparing us to those depraved televangelists up north.

Thanks man, I glad your really not mad, I worry about people I can't see.
Rep given!
