If Dan and the Country Club in Fl come after high 3's and 4's in Ms and at that same time are losing 4's and 5's in Fl to Miami, FSU, Ga,& bama the honeymoon with the Fl fan base will be very short!

Do you guys think coach Jones helped with this guy? I know nothing about it, except that this is the kind of player from the kind of place he'd have been recruiting while at USA. Wouldn't surprise me if they had a relationship and it helped pull James our way, and I'm sure Jones has been hitting the phones of every recruit he knows in south Alabama

Had nothing to do with Joey Jones. All TBuck & JoeMo.

[msbulldog]

We have had potential recruits from Spanish Fort for years before, James was being recruited before Coach Jones came on board, he was offered on 2/12/18.

K thanks for the answer guys. I'm excited to see Jones go to work on those south 'bama guys though- 8 years of relationship building with those HS coaches should really help us there

Great pick up. Kid should be and will end up higher rated.

I asked my guy how many of the top 15 guys in Mississippi that we are on hard and have a legit shot of getting.
The answer was 10.

I'm assuming Jerrion Ealy is one of the 15 and is going pro in baseball in all likelihood. I'll take 10 of the top 14.

I will too.

We shouldnt just concede any of them tho. Those days are over

[Bully13]

as long as Muffins and / or Hev do the in house, we good.

[Cooterpoot]

Dean and Handy(if he's top 15) aren't like to end up at State. Turnage either, but more likely than the other two.

[Ari Gold]

Read what I was told and said again.
Out of the top 15 guys that we are ON hard and have Legit shot at getting..

I said it few weeks back chances very low we get Dean and he isn’t a lock to Umiss by a long shot. With Ealy is going MLB more than likely.
I like our chances with Turnage and more so with Pickering .. those will be 2 big time pick ups.
With Handy , we prob aren’t in his top 2 but the DL class is loaded we can’t get them all... and it’s just now March
Let’s roll thru spring ball and a few camps along with BDC and see what’s up then

So we're more likely to get Turnage (Bama commit) than Dean who is uncommitted??

Thats gotta be a first

[Cooterpoot]

I'm expecting to get Pickering. In the end, he's a MS guy and we're his number one in MS. I know he's talking a little about AL and LSU, but in the end he's coming to State. His friends are saying the same thing.
I'm not expecting to get Young.

[Cary Hudson's little bro]

We've been active with Crystal Ball's lately...see anyone committing soon? We are offering tons of guys and I love it!
