AJ Update

[ShotgunDawg]

Well.... he left Bama & didn't commit.

Then he tweets this out.

Not sure how to take this, or, if there is anything to take from this, but it seems as if this weekend may have gone as well as possible for MSU in regards to AJ. At least as good as we could've hoped for.

All I get from that is that he wants to not be bothered at the moment.

[defiantdog]

Dude is having fun.

[ShotgunDawg]

Absolutely. I thought it was important that MSU survived this weekend with AJ, & it appears that we did.

I'm not worried about his Ole Miss visit next week, since he's absolutely not going there.

MSU just needs to try to get him in for a visit & we'll see what happens.

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

What about the latest tweet to Shea Patterson..


"Happy Birthday bro..see ya soon ;)"

[defiantdog]

What about the latest tweet to Shea Patterson..
I love it. Sorry, I think it's funny as shit that AJ is trolling all of you and the media. Good for him. If he goes to State.... Great. If he goes somewhere else.... Good for him. But at least the guy is havin fun.

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

Oh it really don't bother me.....I just think it's funny as hell. I was laughing last year when Jamal Peters posted a pic of him in an OM shirt weeks before signing day.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Even the biggest fan-boy of all Yancy has conceded AJ will not go to NMS. He said publicly that AJ told him in an interview that he did not want to share snaps with Metcalf. With the implication being that there was too much competition at NMS and not that they couldn't pull him in. Went on to say that there were too many State people around AJ that have convinced him he would not be featured in the same class with a NMS legacy WR like Metcalf.

[Bishop6]

I hate recruiting. I hate that I end up knowing all these kids by name before they end up in maroon and white or worse... Somewhere else. I enjoyed my Mississippi State football way better before the Internet.

[RougeDawg]

When will yall learn that these guys who are coming to us don't make it public until very late in the game because these 40-50 year old children and reporters of other fan bases wil hound them every waking moment until NSD. Some of these over grown petulant children even call recruits and talk to them all night in an attempt to acquire their signature. Let theme children and let's remember how the last few years have played out. Our guys keep it quiet. Relax.

In other words, yancy implies that aj scared of competing at om bc they have such great talent... Shocking**

This is the funny thing to me about AJ's recruitment. Everybody has sources & reports he wants to get out of town but no one is willing to say he's leaving. Nobody from Bama, OM, or anywhere is confident they can get AJ out of Starkville. Interesting to me at least that none of the Bama guys are confident in getting him, Yancy & David have all these stories & insights on him but won't say he's leaning anywhere else than MSU. Just an observation.

You're joking right? That dude is really bad at his job if that's the case.

[ShotgunDawg]

You're joking right? That dude is really bad at his job if that's the case.

He's actually really good at his job, just unethical.

His job is to make money for the site through providing recruiting information, and, best I can tell, he does that. However, he is fortunate to have a 1930's Germany type fan base in which to sell too & that are so delusional that they believe everything he says & believe that Ole Miss landing these recruits because they have a beautiful campus

Very true. His crystal ball is 90% state since last summer. Only one prediction after this season and that was to Bama by an UNM 247 staff writer. Even David Johnson has had him to us for over a year. Simmons, Warren, Paul, etc all to State for a very long time. He wants to enjoy the process and purposely didn't do get into it much until after the season.

Yeah, but to say AJ doesn't like competition is just dumb.

[Commercecomet24]

I said it in the recruiting thread. Why should AJ give us an OV when he already knows he's coming here. He's enjoying the process and taking his free trips. Don't blame him, this only happens once.

[Political Hack]

No kidding. That's refreshing to read. If he can snatch everyone neck into a 180 with a single tweet joking around, why would he not do that at 17/18 years old? He gets to do this once. Enjoy it. Keep it light hearted and just be respectful of everyone, and to my knowledge that's how he's handled it. And no matter where he ends up I'd love to see the kid make it big.

I agree. I think he's actually good at his job and loves what he does. Good for him.

Equally as funny is the absolute confidence some msu people have just because he is from starkville. It sounds like the "its our turn to win" against xx teamwe heard forever. He may not pick us.

Don't say absolutely.

I can't speak for everybody else but my confidence in AJ isn't just because he's from Starkville.

Just read a little of bama recruiting thread on secrant. They think aj is between them and om... Seems a school that recruits as well as them would be a little more knowledgeable

They are ignorant but this also shows our perception problem.

Why should they think we would get AJ? We are rarely in the race for big time croots and we can't score 10+ points against them.

It's weird, for all of the winning we have done, it hasn't really affected our perception as a poor, mid-major program who's wins are more a result of schedule than quality of play.

Because they're stupid if they think we're not in it. We've beaten them for a bunch of MS kids recently.

Take that crap that yuku. We've won 19 games in two years, are closing strong, and have another load of talent taking the field next year that could easily win 9 more games. I don't know how this slips past a lot of the people on this site, but if you pay attention really, really closely... WE'RE GETTING BETTER and BETTER as a program.

Political,

I completely agree with you. We are absolutely improving as a program. My post was speaking of the outside perception of us, not my own thoughts about us. Read what I wrote. I was speaking of our program from an Alabama or LSU fan's perspective. Nothing else

Here is your background check:

I played for MSU. I wore the maroon and white and attend 4+ home games a year.

Secondly, we may have met at some point. You'd laugh

Then why the hell are you not smart enough to not post some of the things you post on a public forum? I see moments of feeling 100% sure you're a Dawg, & then you go on about a month of head scratching posts where I get a flood of PM's from people claiming you're a troll. Hell, OM fans think you're a troll. I want to believe you, & I think I do...especially if you're truthful about playing for State....but goodness I wish you'd think things through b4 posting sometimes.

I'll drop it. Sorry to make accusatory statements

I don't think I make statements that are head scratching. I try to look at things in a pretty realistic manner & sometimes it comes across as not having the maroon shades on.

If you read my explanation for my post above, you would see that there is really nothing head scratching about it all.

With that being said. I can now say without a doubt I know who he is. Shotgun is a Dawg. He might talk a little weird at times. But He is a dawg through and through.

and Good job scoring a run against MS Valley.
