Some positive signs in football recruiting for 2019 for Moorhead

[Todd4State]

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?

Good point about Alabama.

As far as your ps- that's what frustrated so many of us about Dan. What I'm talking about is mostly common sense. Or it should be.

And I can understand the wool getting pulled over his eyes at the Army AAG in 2011. But the bad thing was it didn't seem like Dan did much to change anything.

I would also throw in concentrating on Georgia. We have gotten a lot of good players out of GA including Preston Smith. It seemed like Jackie always had a Dline or LB from GA that was a badass. Atlanta is only 4 1/2 hours from Starkville so it is about the same as it is to New Orleans. Throw in the hook ups that the staff have similar to TBuck in FL and that is a pretty good recruiting base.
