Recruiting fallout from Collins leaving

[msstate7]

Any worries?

[starkvegasdawg]

Is this a hypothetical or is he really leaving?

I can't think of anything. It may hurt us with Leo, but Ole Miss' LB coach left yesterday, so that may be even.

he's the primary recruiter for most of the Alabama kids: Mixon, Gibson, Smitherman, Johnson, Williams

True, but they are offensive guys. Whether Collins is there or not shouldn't be that big of a deal. Tony Hughes is the recruiting guy for the defensive players

not in alabama. collins is the primary and the position coach is the secondary.

[Coach34]

Might need to worry about the kid committed from Fla

Ok, fine, we are going to lose every damn one of them. They will all decommit. I gave you reasons, but you want to argue everyone of them. We don't know. Just guessing that receivers probably aren't tied the LB coach

True, he could be gone.

So Knox, Townsend, and Gonzales are the secondary recruiters Bama players, right?

I didn't say that at all. I was simply pointing out that Collins is the primary recruiter in Alabama and we have a lot of kids from Alabama committed.
I think we'll be ok because I would hope and assume there will be some sort of gentleman's agreement between Mullen and Collins that he won't try and poach anyone from this class. The same type of deal was made when Mullen left UF to come here.

whatever position the kid is, that's his secondary.

Justin Johnson- Gonzalez
Smtherman- Townsend
Williams- Hevesey
Gibson/Mixon- Knox
Jones- Turner

[msstate7]

Florida is ranked #84 and has 7 commits. I don't know if we lose any kids or not, but I'm sure florida will try

I'm not worried about losing them to Florida, with the possible exception of McNair since he is from FL and has had an offer from them for a while.

I think we are in good shape, maybe concerned about Hevesy

Leo Lewis is the biggest concern imo

[ShotgunDawg]

Leo Lewis is the biggest concern imo

True, but Ole Miss lost their LB coach, and I think Tony Hughes is the lead recruiter for Leo

[HancockCountyDog]

Any worries?

Should be noted that ED had this story several days ago.

[Tough Dawg]

Leo's lead recruiter is still here.......Farrod Green.

Sorry. Seems more relevant today, no?

Oh sure, just saying that ED is breaking more news than twitter when it comes to MSU football.
