2019 Recruiting Thread

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Torbor is a stud! Great hands and body control. He won't be the last commit this week either ..........................

FIFY

[Cary Hudson's little bro]

Would be great if the next commit is Nathan Pickering.

I could honestly see Pickering being a silent commit but not actually committing till signing day.

He appears to be having too much fun to shut it down. Recruiting has been betty, betty good to him (Sammy Sosa voice)

My son is friends with Nathan Pickering and was talking to him yesterday. It's between us and LSU, and he like Joe very much. And yes he likes having a good time lol. BTW he's not a big fan of lateral move at all lol.

Don't hold your breath on that 1. It's likely to be a while.

Yep. That one's gonna take awhile.

[Cooterpoot]

Pickering is going to end up at State. It's just a matter of time. I wouldn't be surprised if it's at the end of the summer. I wouldn't be surprised if it's next Feb. But's it's going to happen.

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

My guess it?s Jarrian Jones.
He is a big piece of the Mississippi class.

I see where Paul just CB'd 4 star all purpose back, Eric Gray to Mississippi State. I something in the water this week or what!? If this plays out like the CBs are projecting (and holds) - wow this could be blue bloodesque recruiting. We still have a legit shot with Ronald Thompkins, as well. Not to mention all of the in-state guys. I am beside myself.

I would like to get some of these interested big uglies locked up. Didn't I read somewhere that Charles Cross (Laurel) was invited to the UA All American game, or did I make that up? I won't hold my breath for Cunningham, yet, but Medley or one or two of these other out of state guys seem to have interest. IYOK or Ari, whatever happened with the Edgar-Ndoma fella from TX?

yep , need to see some big uglies. BAD. and just damn on Ronald Thomkins. dude is a 4 star with a .91 and is the 37th ranked player in GA. GA is just 17ing stacked with talent.

[bostondawg]

Interesting. Didn't know we were after Eric Gray. Isn't that the kid Ole Miss is after hard?

[jacksondawg]

Does anyone know how the group from Michigan's visit went the other day?

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Here are my thoughts

1. Moorhead is "cooler" than many think. He clicks with kids, and with their families. Just a good man and it shows.
2. He and his staff are making a commitment to recruit every day. Never skip a day.
3. We are getting a slight bump with practices going on. Recruits are seeing that coach is sharp.
4. Coach has a staff that builds relationships and can flat coach.

With a December signing period, some schools are going to rise and fall in the eyes of recruits based upon performance. We should be really good this fall. That will help us hold the out-of-state guys especially. Imagine Torbor walking the halls of his school after we whip LSU. Recruits want to feel important. Winning makes their offer look more prestigious. We need to win big this fall. This is the most important class in years to our program.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

This class could send us to new heights. It could also drop us back to the cellar.

1. The talent in 2019 in Mississippi is the best in years.
2. We are losing many players after this season.
3. Ole Miss is reeling.
4. Moorhead can build momentum.
5. 2018 season should be great. 2019 season is a rebuild of sorts.

A mediocre class would be a huge lost opportunity. I love where we stand right now. This class could be incredible. Moorhead can't let this opportunity slip past. Lots of talent, and lots of depth. I like where we are right now,

Agree on all. Joe is cool. He made a real impression on my son who was with a recruit when joe came to visit. He took the time to talk to my son ask him how Baseball was going and just show genuine interest. Joe has IT going on!

[Bothrops]

Hmm..

[Cary Hudson's little bro]

Judging by tweets it appears that Jarrian Jones will be in the boat soon.

[Bully13]

I would be interested to know Moorhead's personal recruiting strengths at his previous gigs. he seems to be a guy you'd have a tough time saying no to.

2019 is a rebuild of sorts, but we have some Key pieces coming back for 2019 -
QB - Key as Jr.
RB - Kylin & Nick Gibson
WR - Only lose Dear and Jackson
OL - 2 returning starters (Eiland & Reese), plus Williams, Story, Parker, Suggs as a base (definitely thin, but good)
TE - everyone of importance back

DL - Mullins, Spencer, Kobe, Fletcher Adams, Autry, and if we are lucky Rivers (very good but not elite)
LB - Leo (hopefully), Errol, and Willie as a base
CB - Guidry and Dantzler
S - Landrews, ????

That's not a bad starting point 18 months out, and doesn't factor in any of RSF from 2017, the 2018 FR, or the 2019 FR. We needs lots of young guys to get appropriate playing time this year to be ready for '19.

[Bully13]

Ha, I see we can now type "Mullins" LOL
