    They don't have any recruits we want this year.

    Didn’t his buddy sign at Memphis? Or did he just visit? If so, it would be hilarious if he went to Memphis instead of OM.

    No. And with the way scholarships are going to be handled in the future, it’s going to be tougher to sign guys just to get someone. Whop made a tough decision. Give me kids like that over these that get sand in their vag over their friends not coming with them.

    I hope it doesn't take Moorhead as long to figure out recruiting in the SEC west as it did Dan. This place is as different from the Big 10, as the north is from the south. I don't think Moorhead is the flipping kind either.
    I don?t think he is the flipping kind either.

    Every decision he?s made thus far has been extremely conservative. He?ll need to alter that.

    Possibly the number 1 reason the history of flips is so poor.

    Yep, exactly
    Not only did Mississippi State embarrass LSU on this night. Davis Wade Stadium wrecked Tiger Stadium in music choice, atmosphere and, most of all, volume.

    Moorhead would have to have his head stuck in the sand for him not to know how recruiting goes on down here. OM's ncaa case is well known. And how do you come to the conclusion that all of Moorhead's decisions have been conservative to this point? He's offered scholarships to 2 qb's from other areas of the country. That's not in our dna history.

    What decisions have been conservative? Conservative would've been keeping half the staff like our fans want. Conservative would've been keeping Jaylen Reed even though he's not a SEC ball player. Conservative would've been to take Corione even though he didn't like him just to get Whop. Conservative would've meant not hiring 2 potential former OM players. I don't think you get what conservative is.

    Shouldn?t have been very difficult to beat out OM in this one when all they can sell is FR playing time for a team that is ineligible.

    Can?t lose easy recruiting battles like this one.
    I think there?s a clear history to indicate how they win recruiting battles. It?s not the coaching staff?s job to win that battle.

    No I get it.

    Kind of in jest making a point though that it’s going to be tough to take the next step so long as our depth gets plucked out from under us.

    Even if OM is willing to pay recruits, you can’t allow them to just pluck the ones they want to pay every year. They just flipped half our DL class in the past 2 weeks.

    Just curious, are we helpless against this? Are we just conceding players?

    The freak out and overreaction from our fan base always amazes me. We've all known this is coming.

    Ok, who’s job is it then or are we just conceding players?

    I understand what you are saying (although your emotional whining gets old). It?s a simple equation, you need good players. It doesn?t matter if it?s expected, we can?t continue to lose recruits.

    Rarely do flips matter. Normally just drama filled kids that fail to live up to the hype they attempted to create.

    It’s the fact that we knew this was coming and could do nothing about it that bothers me.

    And for me, it’s not so much about Lovett as it is the bigger picture.

    If they can this easily flip half our DL class, then what is going to prevent them from dominating the 2019 class, flipping future croots?

    When will MSU stop allowing this to happen?

    Perhaps I don’t get it. Maybe ifyouonlyknew was right, because it looks to me like we just sit back and watch OM do anything they want and then throw our hands up in helplessness.

    Again, maybe I don’t get it. If so, can someone explain it?

    If he didn't sign on signing day, he wasn't committed.... just like the other "commits" that didn't sign or are academic risk and we didn't send the paper work to sign.

    LOL Are you even serious? Baker can't hold a gun on a player and make him sign with us. Kids have minds of their own and influenced by a lot of different things.

    Completely agree, but they don?t matter until they do.

    We wanted him. It?s too late to call him a bum
