Some positive signs in football recruiting for 2019 for Moorhead

[Commercecomet24]

I get the feeling we are about to enter a new era of MSU recruiting. Coach JoMo just looks and acts like a man who's driven to succeed and I think he's gonna change the way we have recruited and athletes we get. I believe danny boy was arrogant and cocky, while Coach JoMo is confident and sure of himself, big difference in those 2 personality types. I still think his main focus will be in MS and and surrounding states but I also bet you see us get in on some guys danny boy would've never even contacted.

Coach Joe will put the team ahead of his ego. You can tell that in the interviews he's given. He will do what's best for the team. Don Merlin could never do that. It was always about him and stroking his ego.

I think we are about to see a jump in our average recruiting rankings over the next few years. And I think Joe is going to make us a perennial top 10 team.

I don't know about a perennial top 10 team every year- but I do think we will come much closer to reaching our potential than we ever did under Dan.

I think our recruiting philosophy is going to be or should be:

1. Recruit the very best in Mississippi. We did this under Dan except for most of the highly rated offensive players. The fact that we know Dan's Country Club was lazy recruiting on the offensive side of the ball plus the fact that we have gotten most of the highly rated defensive players in the state despite the fact that Ole Miss was offering them a ton of money also gives me hope that Joe can clean it up with some effort.

2. Recruit Louisiana the next hardest. Only one SEC team compared to two in Alabama and Tennessee for that matter. Not nearly as dirty as recruiting in Memphis. LSU potentially being down could really help us too- not to mention Dak, Josh, Key, and now Whop being from there and hopefully having success at MSU among others.

3. Recruit Memphis and Alabama.

4. Recruit Nationally. Assign each staff member 10 of the top 100 players to be responsible for recruiting. We may not get any of them. But if we even get one it could give us a nice boost. You never know if you don't recruit them- although I do agree we can't make a living off of trying to recruit nationally. This is more for perception with the recruiting services than anything- which may increase the rating of the players that we actually do get to MSU.
