Good pickup!

DE from the Delta.

Was a 4* player in the 2017 recruiting class, but reclassified to the 2016 class and somehow dropped to a 3*. Not sure how that works, but either way, he's a good talent. Just has to get eligible now due to reclassifying.

Contrary to some beliefs, it does appear that our football program still exists & will continue to move forward.

[basedog]

Sounds like a good pick up. Hope to see a few more committed shortly.

[Cowboydawg]

Underrated big time. Had over 140 tackles and 20+ sacks at DE. Supposedly clocked in the 4.5 range at one of the camps.

I don't get this. Is he graduating early and skipping his senior year? Or is this a JUCO guy that is working to get out after one year instead of two?

[Tripp McNeely]

So, rivals has this kid rated as the #1 player in the state and the #5 DE in the country...wtf do they see that nobody else does??

[Dawg61]

Nice pickup Dan. We need some DBs and OL too.

Strange indeed. #1 player in 2017 according to this site, yet only State and Southern have offered. Happy to have him, but it's strange indeed.

Double post

[Ifyouonlyknew]

He didn't get more offers because it was assumed he was headed straight to Juco. He's bust his butt to get his grades & ACT score & he's on track to make it. MSU never let up & he's been ours for a while just going public with it.

Is he a number 1 in the state type of talent? I know the 2017 class is supposed to be loaded too

I guess since Ole Miss got busted getting ACT scores made they didn't want to waste thier time with him.

Yes he is.

OM was on him but neither side really made a move.

Are you saying he makes it? I hear he has a shot, but its a long way to a foregone conclusion.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

I've heard he's going to make it.

[ShotgunDawg]

Yes he is.

Well goodness. Hell of a pick up if true. If true, I expect he'll be changed to a 4 star once it becomes more likely that he'll qualify.

[HancockCountyDog]

Thats great news. Kid has made a ton of progress if he makes it, good for him.

[smootness]

Wow. If we can get him and Simmons, that will certainly help ease my concerns over the future of the DL.

[msstate7]

Wasn't Mullins the same type player last year... Very talented, but not thought to qualify so lack of offers?

[Bothrops]

Committed to us. Probably remain a 3*.

[msstate7]

Are mason, dickens, and gooden (grade risk, I know) all takes at de?

I think ******* was super skinny also and maybe played at a small school so there was a question about level of competition?

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Mason has his grades.

[djaymsu5]

I've heard he's going to make it.

So who all on the DLine do you think we end up signing? I would guess...

Maybe Simmons
Kobe Jones
Emmit Gooden (if he can qualify)
Derrick Brown- know he likes us but idk if we end up getting him or not.

All of these are 4 star guys except for Derrick Brown 5* and would be huge pick ups

Tre Brown
Marquiss Spencer
Kobe Jones
Jeffery Simmons
Emmitt Gooden
Kaderrion Mason

[HancockCountyDog]

Mason has his grades.

Does he have a commitable offer, I've been told no.

No Damion Dickens?

I would say we get Scott Lashley from WP for the OL.

CDM must be planning to take all these guys they are out recruiting so hard to UGA. I cannot believe some of the people on this board.

Go DAWGs and HAILSTATE!!!

[HancockCountyDog]

I don't think he has an offer.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

I think he ends up a take. Dickens is juco bound & unless he pulls a miracle Gooden is too so there's room.

[Shooter McGavin]

Any idea what Daniel Crowell or Raekwon Davis are going to do? Haven't heard much out of Meridian lately on either one.

[GreenheadDawg]

I heard Davis will stick with bama

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Crowell may end up at USM & Raekwon really doesn't matter because he's headed to Juco.
