Farrar

[msstate7]

Aj is dominating the talk here and rightfully so bc he's a bad man, but what's up with farrar? Do we hold on to him?

[Jacksondevildog]

No news is good news, but the Oklahoma offer is concerning. Our recruiting guys haven't had a lot to say about him and they've all been somewhat quiet with information lately.

So who is LaDarrian Cobb? Farrar re-tweeted one of his tweets which says he's coming to State. Some of Cobb's tweets tagged Coach Dan Mullen.

I can't find Cobb on 247.

Thanks. Yeah, I saw that, but nothing on 247.

Maybe he's a walk-on? He played safety for Richland Hills which is not far from where Farrar played.

We definitely need one or the other (of AJ and Farrar) and hopefully both. As I looked over the roster we are loaded at the slot receiver but woefully thin on the outside especially after next year when the Freds are gone (Ross and Brown). Right now JJackson and DGray are the only outside guys we will have that I know anything about after next year. Will be interesting to see if they keep Ross in the slot in the Spring or move him back outside. Even DGray has more of a slot build.

Don't forget Jamal Couch

Took this from their free board....

We have been told that the Sooners have agreed to let Zach play baseball his first year, something Miss. State had already promised. Farrar is actually touring (by now he may have completed the tour) the baseball facilities today. This one is looking good for the Sooners.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

He left Oklahoma still committed to MSU. Oklahoma actually has another WR on campus today, Mykel Jones, so that's encouraging.

[klong-dog]

Great, another signing day surprise is all.

Hope it wasn't just to wait and tell our coaches before the media. Really hope we can hold on to farrar. 2 weeks ago, I thought we had aj, farrar, and couch... Now just couch is a real possibility

[Commercecomet24]

Zach gonna be a Bulldog.

[Ralph]

i think we hold on to farrar.

Zach gonna be a Bulldog.

You psychic or guessing? Hope the former...

Got a good friend who's son is on the baseball team. Talks with Zach and he's still firm with us. However you never know with these kids. Still think we in good shape.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Farrar flipped.

[C222]

Hearing he may flip soon

Eta: looks like it's already out there

[Big4Dawg]

Never again will I get mad at our staff for cutting a kid/pulling an offer because stuff like this. Kids change their mind all the time as well.

[Ralph]

Flipped. Damn.

[OdaMaeBrown]

[Commercecomet24]

Yep you right. That one hurt.

[cheewgumm]

We hardly knew ye

[Irondawg]

That one hurts really bad.

[msstate7]

That one hurts really bad.
We've got a few bigger body blows coming in the next few days I'm afraid

[DancingRabbit]

Damn. Would have been good to get a foot in the door at Southlake.

[Irondawg]

It is getting hard to remain optimistic. There was no excuse for not getting a top 25 class this year with our prestige factor being the highest it's ever been and our offensive success

[HoopsDawg]

Zach gonna be a Bulldog.

Nice call.

[HoopsDawg]

We've got a few bigger body blows coming in the next few days I'm afraid

I'm trying hard to wait until Wednesday but this has been the biggest cluster**** of a recruiting job I can remember since I started following recruiting 21 years ago. Double digit decommittments and misses.

[Commercecomet24]

Nice call.

Yep major screwup on my part. Was going by what I heard from a baseball player. My bad.

[CadaverDawg]

[Bothrops]

We recruit well as long as we're the only ones in the running.

[CadaverDawg]

Ha, don't apologize. Things change. People beg for any & all info even if it's rumors...but as soon as they don't turn out true, they jump on those that are just trying to share info, ha. Shit happens.

[CadaverDawg]

As long as Bama, Oklahoma, LSU, Auburn, Ole Miss, Florida, Georgia, or Tennessee doesn't give a committable offer to most of these recruits.....we have a shot.*

[Commercecomet24]

Yep bad call, bad info. Was looking for something positive but guess that got shot to hell. Sorry. I hate losing this kid.

[msstate7]

No big deal... Even I was wrong 1 time about 3 years ago haha

[preachermatt83]

I agree completely!!

[GreenheadDawg]

Same shit. Different kid.

[Bdawg]

We all knew it was probably bad when OU offered. Think we all heard it was an offer he really wanted. Hard to sway a kid away from a place he has always wanted to go. Maybe with Hankerson in and Farrar gone, AJ will be more apt to join us and see he more needed now. Trying to be positive, but it's hard

I'm still holding out hope on the Big 5. If we don't land ATLEAST 3 of them I'm gonna agree with you completely!!! I'm going to be ready to fire everybody!! Lol!!

[HoopsDawg]

No Kidding! The only recruits we have that haven't decommitted are the ones without better offers. Everything needs to be re-evaluated.

[HoopsDawg]

We are getting Lashley and Jones, no one else!!

Thanks. I was trying to find something positive, thought I had got some solid info from someone who knew and blew up on me. Feel terrible about it.

[msstate7]

Then we get a D in recruiting this year... Only bright spot will be a better oline class than normal

[Coach007]

Good lord people! Just take a break from recruiting

[Bdawg]

Sad to say but this seems to be a reality. We need some good news tomorrow and Tuesday with some of our top targets. Try to get bit of momentum before Wednesday

[Commercecomet24]

Now that's funny! Deserve it for that one!

[CadaverDawg]

Don't feel bad. For all you know, Farrar told the guy that but was really on the fence at the time. Things change from minute to minute sometimes in recruiting. Keep bringing info. If someone doesn't like it, ask them for their info, ha.

[Irondawg]

The thing I don't like about situations like this is you have the kid tweeting out pictures of him on a bulldog uniform after he gets to OU offer and decides to take a visit. Then flips.

I get kids changing their mind when a new offer comes along. Just go silent though.

In the end I shouldn't care. But I do.

[Commercecomet24]

No big deal... Even I was wrong 1 time about 3 years ago haha

Thanks. I think I'm gonna get out of the info gathering and just read what all the real info guys say.

[HoopsDawg]

Yeah, the bar wasn't high, but it's a decent haul thanks to SC and FSU backing off and Lashley has good upside in 2 or 3 years.

[klong-dog]

So Knott announces for OM or Bama tomorrow?

[SDDawg]

Time for a stiff drink boys. At least for me!

[Really Clark?]

So Car didn't back off. They tried to get him to visit this weekend and was honoring their offer. FSU didn't have room because of who they think they will land. I guess that's close or a keep him warm situation.

[Commercecomet24]

Appreciate that! Just goes to show you that these kids change their mind constantly and may flip and flop a hundred times a day. Dang teenagers lol!

[preachermatt83]

Then somebody better be held accountable. My question is who? We lose to OM two year in a row, 3 of 4 , they destroy us in Ed rioting and we are losing Golde. Triangle kids .., my question... Who is responsible,... Why is there no accountability. Stiklin needs to grow a pair. So we go to bowls?? Great... We are not competing for the west and we need to be. There is 1 reason we are not... RECRUITING. It's that simple. Again I'm still holding out hope for AJ, Simmons, and Knott. But if we only get 3 of the five I'll be disappointed but can live with it. Less than 3 and I'm gonna be completely done with Dan Mullen. I think he's gonna Suprise us tho. I'm calling for 4 of the 5.

[I seen it dawg]

Farrah played it perfect to get what he really wanted which was to go to OU. That one was down mainstreet.

It's on Mullen, his entire staff and their strategy. We were #1 in the country last year and we are recruiting like a lower tier big ten school.

It has to be. But who will hold them accountable?? Strick won't!

How in the wild world of sports does Mullen manage to screw up recruiting so frigging bad?! Good Lord what is the problem?

[Dawgface]

No worries. Mullen can coach up a 3* to a 5*. Our class will be just as strong as OM. ***

[Reason2succeed]

It sucks to have a guy de-commit but Farrar wins on the most civil ever. I can respect a kid from DFW going to Oklahoma over State. I can't be mad at him on that one.

From Insidemsusports.com
Farrar announced his choice via Twitter Sunday night following an official visit to Norman stating “This is probably the toughest decision I’ve ever had to make. And yet it is the most important decision in my life. I am decommitting from Mississippi State University. There was not one single negative with Mississippi State, from the campus, the town, the fans, the players, the staff, the academics and the coaches. They are top notch in my opinion. Good people who treated me very well. That’s why this is so hard but I must do what’s best for me in the long run. Thank you to the coaching staff as a whole for believing in me.”
