Some positive signs in football recruiting for 2019 for Moorhead

[TUSK]

This may be just pure perception more than anything but it appears to me that we are offering more top 100 National type players. That's a good thing because if MSU keeps showing up as an offer I think it gives the perception that we are a serious player in recruiting for whatever reason. That's one of the things that Ole Miss does to help boost their recruiting some. Dan didn't offer these types of players as much.

It appears as if we are going to have a junior day possibly the same weekend that we play Ole Miss in basketball. Look, I know our team sucks in men's basketball right now. But that would be a good game for our fans to try to go to if for no other reason to give us a good crowd for the football recruits. And I do need to mention that this isn't official yet- but I do personally think it's likely.

In the past, Dan probably would have scheduled Junior Day the same day as the ACT with no home basketball game because he didn't want it to interfere with his marathon training schedule.**

Seriously, this appears to be better awareness from our staff in recruiting.

IIRC, OM was offering EVERY top 100 player (maybe even top 300), and while it may seem "whorish", I think it was a pretty good idea... I mean, what have you got to lose, some free print? Hell, if I was Moorehead/MSU, I'd offer consider a similar tactic, sans the shenanigans...

Yeah I'm not sure why every P5 school doesn't do that.

I wonder how much they spent?

Not much on a blanket offer. It's whatever paper costs to send them the offer.

If you want to make an impact on them, visit them. I'd send everyone out in pairs and divide up the top 100 among them and visit each kid. 16 of this years Top 100 on 247 are in Georgia, and 4 more are close to the GA boarder. That's 20% of the list in a few days of driving. You catch 1 of those kids and it is worth it. There are enough kids from the SEC footprint in the Top 300 that if we just focused on those we would be a step up from whatever it was the Country Club was doing.
