2019 Recruiting Thread

Dude this class is very good just like it is. Do u realize how many 4 star kids we have committed right now?

Dude, you realize we need linebackers & OL right?

This class is nowhere near taking full advantage of the talent in the state this year.

[StateDawg44]

How many misses until we are allowed to be worried?

What are your realistic expectations of this class? Pick 5 uncommitted players that you think we should be able to easily land without them even tossing around the idea of another SEC or P5 school.

A reason of why you think they will have a hard time to turn us down is encouraged. I'm gonna rule out you being able to say because "They are in-state".

Wonder who is recruiting Mississippi for FSU. They are earning their money thus far. May not get anybody to sign in the end but they have certainly gotten the attention of some of our top targets.

We missed on Hall. Cross, Dean, Turnage were never that serious about us. Nothing we can do about those situations. We're about to pick up commits from two stud players the next two years. We're already ahead of the game that Mullen stuck us with.

It's July guys... take a step back from the edge

The season has not started yet. When we get these kids on campus for a huge game like Florida and we start getting talked about in the media and up in the top 10 you will begin to see some huge momentum shifts. Especially when teams like FSU end up 7-5. My suggestion is to listen to IYOK, ARI, and others. When they seen to be worried then fine, go worry, but right now they are quietly confident and so am I. We are going to miss some. Everyone does. But we have hit on a ton too. Go look at our class. It's good.

Exactly.

We will get Mingo

[ShotgunDawg]

We will get Mingo

If we can keep Jackson, that's a great WR class. Best ever probably.

Young would be nice, but not critical due to the DL class we already have committed.

That leaves Hall, Cross, & Gray as the three critical players & we lead for none of them.

What I expect as a fan is 100% effort from our coaches, players and Admin folk, nothing more, nothing less. I came away damned impressed the way Jo Mo held our commits in check when he took over day 1. Stats are not kept on that but for a new HC without being a household name to do what he did tells me there's no lack of effort on our HC or the assistants. And look at the 2019 commit list. What have these new coaches done since they've been here that would question their work effort and style? Sometimes the other guy is just gonna beat you in this game, both in recruiting and on the field. That's the way this shit works.

Good points.

Just disappointing to see us struggle to take that next step when these in-state players could easily make that happen

We also my never see a more talented in-state class in our life times

2020's not strong?

[ShotgunDawg]

2020's not strong?

Maybe but not as strong as this year.

We're .008 (Brooks) & .016 (Cunningham) from having 9 4* in this class. This class is going great. There are going to be some misses it happens every year but the overreaction on recruiting since the Emery stuff has just been crazy. Yes we need a couple more good OL we know. Yes we need another talented LB we know. We're a Top 12 recruiting class with a legit shot to be in the Top 10 going into August. Take a step back, breath, & realize we're doing damn good & we're going to be fine. It's almost like JoeMo spoiled you guys too early with this class. I guess he should've spaced the commitments out for some of you instead of going on runs because as soon as there is a little lull people start getting antsy.

By Sept.1 most top 20 schools will have committed over 80% of their class. Of those, commits less than 20% will flip. So yea there is a sense of urgency. That's why we are starting to look at 'diamond in the rough' kids now to fill holes in our class at RB, LB and OL.

What diamond in the rough RB are we looking at?

[Bothrops]

Hattiesburg? Tallahassee would be the biggest city in MS and is the state capitol. Close to the Gulf and Panama City, etc. I?ve never thought Hattiesburg when I?ve been in Tallahassee

Tallahassee area is a bit smaller than Jackson metro, however.

[Really Clark?]

I was meaning population size but yeah geographically it is
