Some positive signs in football recruiting for 2019 for Moorhead

[ababyatemydingo]

Todd made a pretty strong list... not that y'all care, but I'd summarize it like this (for MSU 2018):

1. Smoke the shit out of the Top 5-10 Mississippi HS players each year. ie: get 66+% of the 4-5 star guys (33% to: bammer, au, lsu, usm, om, ark, etc)... Forget the rest, unless they are "backup plans" or "HS relationship plans"...
2. If you get a kickass Frosh, throw his ass to the wolves (screw "development"/redshirting)... if he's a stud, put him on the field; even if only on ST...
3. Target AL & LA harder... UA is (IMO) neglecting the state to go more "national"... take advantage of that. Also, with the dumpster fire that is LSU, get some cats there, too.
4. Process more.
5. Hammer every single top 300 (needed) position group guy...

ps- Shirley, someone has already thought of this, no?

Yeah, you aren't going to be able to "process" and replace with another 5 * like y'all used to. The 25 hard signing cap each year is going to nip that shit in the bud. Going forward; if you miss on one, you won't be able to process him, and oversign 5*'s the next year.

It will barely have any effect at all on Bama.

First of all, they will sign just as many top tier recruits as they did before....they will just have to pass on a recruit or two that they think has good potential, that they would have signed under the old rules.

Second, it's not like Bama was signing 30 guys every year....per 247, they signed 29 (28 enrolled) last year, 24 (23) in 2016, 24 (24) in 2015, 26 (24) in 2014 and 26 (26) in 2013. So over the last 5 signing classes, the new rule would have cost them 4 enrollees and 4 sign and place guys.

Yep... Bammer averages about 25-26 signees/year... and, just guessing, they prolly lose 4-5 underclassmen/yr to the NFL... Over a 3 year period (25*3 = 75) that's 10 below the 85 cap... with Medical issues, sign & place, count forward/back, walk-ons, etc, it usually works out... roster management has been pretty solid, IMO...

Sandwolf said better than I...

The Cecil and CJ ordeals made him say say to heck with it recruiting wise, I’ll take the recruits willing to come here and do the best I can approach.

He didn’t love recruiting to begin with and experiencing the network made him hate it I think. Losing Tee Sheperd when we needed corners and they just flipped his dad to hurt our roster affected Dan as well.

It’ll be interesting to see if Florida will recruit itself with that staff.

And that's why his ceiling is limited. Most coaches adapt. He just threw his hands in the air and just acted arrogant about it.

And he was surrounded by an echo chamber of Yes Men: Hev, Billy G, Sallach. I'm sure when Cohen told him pretty bluntly he wasn't going to be a pushover like Loafers it was a shock to his system.

Mullen will have the same level of sustained success at a Florida he did at State. He’s not passing UGA or Bama anytime soon. And just getting to the SECCG apparently isn’t good enough for them considering they fired Mac despite him getting there with a shit roster. Florida State will likely be ahead of them too. I suspect they’ll trade blows with UT and USC the same way we do with Ark and A&M.

4-5 years from now, he and Strick will be looking for a new job.

Agree on everything accept I think he?ll be gone after year 3

Yep, three years and I'm willing to bet not one SECCG showing. Kirby will be his Daddy just like Saban was in the West.

Could be. Strick will try to buy him as much time as possible, but he won’t have long to win the East and I don’t think UGA is going to allow that happen.
