Admins, request sticky of this thread. We can keep a running discussion of this class and I don't mind creating one for classes going forward.

[Statefan]

I hope we can keep this thread going for the next few months

We better keep Dantzler. Anyone know if LSU is going to offer?

[Interpolation_Dawg_EX]

Does anyone know much about Justin Mcinnis? He's currently at Dodge City CC, KS and we recently offered. I can't find much on his high school career, but it looks like he played QB for Atlanta Sports Academy.

We haven't offered yet but the expectation is he gets offered on his OV 12/11. He has 3yrs to play 3 so he's not a typical juco kid. 6'6" 200lbs January enrollee.

[deadheaddawg]

I dont follow recruiting so forgive me, but why are there no RB or OL commits? Seems like we need a lot.of help there


Edit. My bad. I misread and didnt see the OL commits. I will go sit in the corner now

[sleepy dawg]

Any idea on what position those Athletes end up playing?

[Interpolation_Dawg_EX]

I'm no recruiting insider, but I think it's an either/or for Charles and Nelson and Defense for Dantzler. I'll let others that are more educated on the subject provide more insight or correct me haha.

ETA: Big Dawg Camp Thread

[defiantdog]

FYI.....

Jordan Thomas is being recruited as an OT and Erroll Thompson is being recruited as a DE. Also, looks like Nigel Knott is leaning towards Bama..... I wish we could stop this from happening, we need this guy.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

We're recruiting Erroll at LB. Errol is down to 238lbs & plans to be at 230lbs when he enrolls.

[Bothrops]

Erroll is gonna be my favorite player in the future.

[msstate7]

I assume mlb... Richie, Gerri green, leo, and Errol -- pretty good collection of mlb

Updated with his decommitment and I added list of possible commitments.

[Interpolation_Dawg_EX]

Velus Jones-Jr is coming on an official visit this weekend. Do we have a legit shot at him or is it a courtesy visit?

I am interested to know what's up with this kid. He's got a great offer list, but no offer from Bama/Auburn.

And committed to USC...it's an interesting recruitment story. That's what made me ask if anyone knew haha.

[Bothrops]

Add me to the list of inquiry on VJ Jr.

[mic]

Dantzler ..
We need to offer the kid
He will be as well coached as anyone in the state
Has a chance to be a solid player
Worse case we get a kid that wants to be here will bust his ass and we be at worse a good special teams and back up DE or LB ..
I had rather take a chance on him than a skill guy ... We can find those every year on MS

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Velus is playing in the MS/AL game he's not OV this weekend.
