'15 redshirts

[msstate7]

Who will be ready to contribute on the field next season?

Leo Lewis
Fletcher Adams
Martinas rankin
Nick Gibson
Tim Washington
Maurice smitherman
Traver Jung
Daryl Williams
Deddrick Thomas
Chris stamps
Kendell jones
Keith mixon
Alec Murphy
Harrison moon
Nick tiano
Jonnas spivey
Anfernee Mullins
Michael story
Farrod green

I'm sure that several on this list will need more time, but I really there's some good football players listed here

[SDDawg]

I thought Smitherman has played.

My top 5: Lewis, Adams, Rankin, Stamps, Mullins.

As far as impact next year, I see rankin and Stamps making a big impact, due to playing time.

It's going to be hard for freshman to break into the starting lineup at DL or LB.

We have six seniors on the DL that will get playing time and the LBs will be the brown brothers and Gray. Just my two cents. Simmons has the talent to break into the rotation, but I'm not sure about the rest.

You don't think Adams can get in the dline rotation?

[HancockCountyDog]

You don't think Adams can get in the dline rotation?

Let's say we rotate 8 guys on the DL. There are six seniors that will get reps. That leaves two spots for Adams, Thomas, tre brown,Hoyett, Mullins and Simmons.

Those red shirts are encouraging. Here are our last five classes as well for reference.

Aj, dale, Calvin, Coleman, Nelson Adams, and the sixth being James?

[Coach34]

I'll be surprised if Rankin starts. We arent going to sit a 2 year starter in Senior- and Jenkins will battle him hard for the LT spot. He beat him out in August- no reason to think Jenkins wont beat him out in the Spring

[DanDority]

Don't expect much from Rankin, if he was ready to contribute there'er no way he would not have seen the field this year.

[Homedawg]

I'll be surprised if Rankin starts. We arent going to sit a 2 year starter in Senior- and Jenkins will battle him hard for the LT spot. He beat him out in August- no reason to think Jenkins wont beat him out in the Spring

I think you are correct about Jenkins. However, the way Senior played down the stretch, Rankin could kick him to the curb. I don't care, just give 2 guys that can keep from getting bull rushed, and speed rushed, and every other move known to man.

Rankin came to fall camp out of shape. He's got the physical ability to be a great Tackle, but he's got to get his head in the game. I think he'll turn the page. Daryl Williams is gonna be a good one for us though. Hopefully, we'll put him at center and move Clayborn over next year

[Jack Lambert]

You don't think Adams can get in the dline rotation?

How much has he grown? He wasn't DT size when he got to state.

The lack of quality depth in the 2010 & 2011 classes killed this season. It's nice to see we've been a top 20 recruiter over the past two years & could land another top 20 class this season if we land the players we currently lead for.

When I look at charts like this, it makes me wonder if Mullen has really reached his ceiling at MSU. I think recruiting is consistently getting better than where it was and if he's able to land a few more years of top 20 classes, I'm see no reason why we won't have more overall talent on the roster and have a chance to win more games.

2010 - yes..... 2011 - Dak, JRob, P Smith, Slay (again), McKinney, Market, Calhoun ...... We did pretty well in 2011.

[mcain31]

I heard good things about Jung. He just made it to campus late.

[War Machine Dawg]

I'll guess Lewis, Stamps or Smitherman, Green, Jung.

Lewis might be most ready, but it's going to be hard finding PT with the Browns, Gray, and Green in front of him. Stamps or Smitherman for obvious reasons. I think Farrod will play because we need TE depth. Jung has the same problem as Lewis, but I included him because if nothing else I think he'll be a big ST contributor. Could also say the same for Lewis, Stamps, and Smitherman.

[Coach34]

Lewis is going to be Gerri Green in 2015. A little playing time with alot of being lost out there in games.

[HancockCountyDog]

Aj, dale, Calvin, Coleman, Nelson Adams, and the sixth being James?

Yep

I watched the offense again from egg bowl, we need to slow down on the Jenkins love, he was awful in that game. Just awful.

Lewis won't be a significant contributor next year. He'll be a special teams monster. Jung will be thrown to the wolves though..... We need him to step up. I'm seriously worried about the DB position. They have some work to do.

Totally agree about DB. We wont be as good at DB in 2016 as were in 2015- and that is scary. We are losing two draft picks at CB and replacing them with inferior players. Even if the young CB's are going to be pretty good- they will still be young and go thru their learning curve. As far as Safety- while we do have some talent- they will still be Soph's.

[maroonmania]

So Jenkins regresses during the year. Senior regressed from last year to this year. Malone and Desper didn't really have the years we thought they should. Seriously, what is Hev doing with these guys?

[HancockCountyDog]

Jenkins it's too early to tell, but it's certainly too early to say he solves any problems.

Guys like Desper and Senior, the dye has been cast. They need to get passed, I'm just worried we haven't recruited well enough to have guys pass them.

[msstate7]

While we'll certainly take a step back with our cb's, I think we could potentially take a big step forward with our safeties

[War Machine Dawg]

While we'll certainly take a step back with our cb's, I think we could potentially take a big step forward with our safeties

Completely agree. Bryant, McLaurin, and Peters might be the 3 best safeties we've ever had at one time. Bryant is crazy good and brings the lumber too. Doesn't hurt that he's the fastest player on the team, either. Anyone else wonder if he could return kicks?

[PSYCHO(thesis)DEFENSE]

I don't see him as a contributor but I'm ready to see Keith Mixon get some touches behind Ross & Myles, maybe return a few kicks

I'm a huge fan of Bryant and Peters, I haven't seen much from McLaurin that I like.

[CadaverDawg]

Even if the young CB's are going to be pretty good- they will still be young and go thru their learning curve. As far as Safety- while we do have some talent- they will still be Soph's.

I agree, that probably just means more zone early in the year, and blitz more as those guys get experience later in the year. I think the secondary of Jiles, Smitherman, Stamps, Rayford, Peters, Bryant, and McLaurin is super talented...just need to get them tons of snaps in pre-conference play next year.

That being said, can't wait to see what Graham, Cleveland, Coman, & Deontay Evans can do in the starting rotation next year.**

[CadaverDawg]

I'm genuinely concerned with our lack of defensive speed, and I'm worried our Strength & Conditioning is adding too much mass to some of our skill players. Gerri Green is huge and is starting to look more like a DE in terms of size & speed using the eye test....McLaurin is huge, and he looked slow in the EB, I hope we aren't going to get him too beefed up to where he has to play LB instead of Safety one day....Peters is already being used in a Rover-type position, so who knows where he'll end up....Etc.

Coman was a nightmare on the back side of our D, and Manny says Safety is the most important position on his D. We have got to improve back there in both tackling, speed, coverage ability, and instincts. So I really hope some combo of McLaurin, Bryant, & Peters can start there in 2016 and STAY THERE for the next 3 years without having to change positions. We need those guys fast and lean. And for God's sake, someone teach them how to take an angle. Hughes' isn't doing a good job at all with that group.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Smitherman, Rankin, Gibson, Jung, & Adams.

Mixon, Gray, Dear, and D Thomas are all ankle breakers..... They'll be fighting for an opportunity.

[CadaverDawg]

Smitherman, Rankin, Gibson, Jung, & Adams.

Please be right about Gibson. He seems to be traditional RB size, good speed, was offered by Bama ha, he's bound to be better than anything we tried in '15

we have yet to have a R-Fr start at RB under Mullen. Could this be the year we "trust" someone in pass pro?

C'mon, mane. Graham isn't like the other 3. He literally just started playing CB in spring. He's young and still learning. The athletic ability is there and he was just a true sophomore last year. The others are all RS Juniors who've been at DB since they stepped on campus. I think Smokey is going to be fine. Way too early to throw him under the bus.

I have one request ... And this isn't a knock on Brandon Holloway..
PLEASE with all the athletes we have at the skill positions... PLEASE have someone else back there with Gray besides Brandon... And yes I know he had a big return against Ark and housed one against USM... He also put it on the deck some too..
We will have a lot of skill guys that will be fighting for touches next year.. Mixon , Thomas, Smokey, Ect... I'm sure they would love to get the ball in their hands and try to impress..

Holloway returns kick then is in on the the first offensive position. Get someone back there that knows they won't be in on the first few snaps or maybe not even at all the offensive position.. and let them try and make a play .. Shit it might result in more playing time ... What maybe 1 out of ever 4 kicks are returned..? They would be so amped to make a play..

It was like when we had RoJo back there last year... That was one of the biggest head scratchers ever.. Zero chance of breaking one if the ball was kicked to him.. Or even getting a good return...

[NCDawg]

We can't go to Atlanta with that type of OL recruiting. Really, the only real quality OL recruit during that time was Gabe Jackson, who committed while Croom was still coach. If Mullen can't see the real problem with our team is the OL and do something about it, I don't see much hope for the future.

Get out of Mississippi and get some out of state lineman... It's called a little effort in recruiting...

You misunderstood my post. Wasn't throwing him under the bus, I like Graham...I was just saying those are the veterans, so they'll start regardless of how much talent is behind them. And I used these > "**".

I remember comparing ST from Croom to Mullen and thinking, "This is what competency looks like". I'm not saying Mullen has been perfect on ST but I do think it's a lot better than many of us give it credit for being.

[Sacrifice]

Adams is a stud, he's gonna take somebody's spot in the spring. I've heard he's around 290lbs now. He's explosive of the ball and he's got a motor like Fletcher Cox. At least that's how he was in HS. Any word on how Jessie Jackson is coming along at WR?

Well yea, in comparison to Croom it is. That's like saying a 20 inch Flat Screen is better than a Tube TV....it IS, but a 50" is even better.

Mullen isn't awful at ST...but there are several head scratching decisions made yearly in our ST game. I just wish he would fix the obvious things, like putting two capable return men back, kicking it through the endzone, letting our best kicker kick, etc.

But you're right, there are worse ST coaches out there than Dan.

Agree. Comparing anything to a Croom is useless..
He figured out the PR with Ross.. But the KR is still a mystery ... Skill guys everywhere for us.. You might get 1 or 2 KOR a game.. Give One of these guys a shot to make a play... Get a touch.. Gain some experience. Ect...

I'll believe it when I see it. People kept telling me there was no way we would redshirt him or Lewis- except that is exactly what we did. We will start his brother and Nick James at DT next year- which will leave him fighting for reps with Thomas, Dale and Hoyette

[PSYCHO(thesis)DEFENSE]

I hope Fletcher is ready this year. We don't have anybody with an elite first step playing DT. Mostly big strong space eaters. I'd much rather be lined up against a hulking behemoth than a guy who's going to beat me off the ball every snap.

Manny seemed to let CJ & NJ be disruptive at times this year instead of just holding up blockers, so I'd like to see what Fletch can do in that role. I don't think he'd be very effective if the scheme is just to keep the OL off our backers.

Fletcher is probably 270 right now..... but he's already better than big ass Hoyett. Cory is going to be good though..... I expect him to get a lot of reps next year. And Leo has transformed from a 230lb slightly out of shape LB into a damn man among children. A lot of you won't recognize him on the field next year. Rick Court has been doing work with these guys. I also didn't recognize Tim Washington. He's gone from a skinny looking dude to an SEC LB in one semester. I can't stress enough how much we need Simmons though. He's definitely going to be a DT, and that's what we need.

[Bothrops]

One thing I don't understand is there seems to be no sense of urgency from Mullen when it comes to recruiting D-tackles. This has been the case for the past couple of years. Was it not obvious that this would be a problem?

If Fletcher is only 270lbs right now, that would be depressing cause he was 267lbs in August. You could be right, i'm just going on what a buddy's of mines son told me. He has some classes with him.

Can't believe you would give one of our players a nickname like that. Can't believe the board isn't up in arms about this. I mean really with all the anger and bitching about check down Charlie why hasn't anyone cursed this guy out? Where are all those angry posters that were so pissed about check down Charlie? Where?
