2018 Recruiting Thread

[Really Clark?]

remember we [passed on Dylan Bradley and the Jackson kid from Noxubee. they both were all-conference at Southern and Jackson St. They started for 4 years. Dylan was unblockable in Highschool and was the pass rusher we needed at State(plus he is Simmon's brother). Ray Charles could see they were football players--just like this Pearl kid. Hopefully somebody wakes up and gets him on campus--remember Keiffer Mc Gee was a late signee as was Billy Jackson (who everybody said was too small-but He started for us for 4 years.

I can kind of get Dylan, I liked him as well, but you had to understand at the time of his commitment the concern of his size on DL getting blocked by SEC OL 8 weekends a season to consistently hold up in this league or just be somewhat effective consistently. For every Bradley that might have been a contributor in the SEC that are 10 times the number of similar athletes that don’t contribute because they don’t hold up week in week out. But comparing a SWAC player is a stretch.

Bottom line is if he comes to State it will be as a walk on . Nothing against the kid.
USM should offer.
If he wants to play in SEC go Juco route and see what happens.

I can agree to that. USM absolutely shouldve offered. They shouldve offered him, Tayler Polk, Gardner Minshew and a few others

[msstate7]

And like I said don’t worry about Patterson
He recommitted this evening

Think we go ahead and sign him? Does not look like we will sign 25 anyway

[BuckyIsAB****]

If we have 25 scholarships and dont use them after all the ''mismanagement'' of the roster we bitched about under Mullen then we really bitched about nothing for like 9 years. That or we feel really good about 19 class

[ShotgunDawg]

Anyone got any good rumors?

[Ari Gold]

Ok. This has gotten like 2 pages.
Being a good high school player doesn’t mean u can play SEC ball
He has one offer it’s from USA. That says a lot.
We aren’t going to offer him. Period. He has 2 options to be a Dawg. Walk on or go Juco and Revist in 2 years.

And comparing him to Marcus Murphy is absurd . Murphy has talent to play day one in the SEC

I hope the kid walks on here and I hope we encourage him too.

What?s the deal with Patterson re-committing, Ari? Is there hope that he qualifies now?

No. I believe the staff put their initial focus on the players that would be signing early and Patterson didn't get any in home visits which made him think about other options. Once the staff met with him they took care of all that.

He's a good player I think. Wasn't essential to the class but I think can make an impact down the road. We've only got Guidry for 2 years I believe and I would bet at least one of Whop or Heath play this year, maybe both. So we will need Patterson at some point to make an impact in a couple years. Plus I think he's an SEC player.

Pretty sure my neighbors are strung out on meth

What is latest on winkel and Williams? Are there any others not ?committed? that we are recruiting for 2018?

Things look good on Winkel. UT seems to be the favorite for Williams. We are recruiting Eddie Smith at CB. He is a former TCU commit.

Who is Williams?

[Bdawg]

How do we look with Eddie Smith? Maybe it came from him but is he the #1 cb in LA? We need a good one in this class.

He's friends with Whop and Shawn Preston. Hopefully we can get him to visit. Gotta battle UT for him too.

I am not liking pruitt

[msbulldog]

I am not liking pruitt

7, I bet you would like him if we hired him, huh?

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

7, I bet you would like him if we hired him, huh?

msbulldog, I believe what 7 was saying is that he's not liking Pruitt since Pruitt is recruiting against us for so many guys (Murphy, Carivin, etc). 7 was not saying he doesn't think Pruitt is a good coach/person, just that he doesn't like Pruitt because of recruiting

No, Pruitt is a terrible human being. I?m kidding... you right
