Hopefully we are done with Landrews. I have some makeup questions.

Many times coaches watch film, evaluate, & offer, but once you really get to know the player you realize he doesn't quite have the ingredients to be a good player

I'm familiar with all the Landrews drama story. The coaches would still take him. He's never been thru the recruiting process. I wouldn't write him off yet.

On Nixon....where is his hometown? Since he's at juco in Arizona....and if his hometown is west of us....I don't understand how we couldn't get a visit along with Tenn. since he's coming this way. Again, that's if he's living west of us. Unless he's used up all his visits. Seems like he could get in both visits.

I'm not running anybody down that has contacts and provides information because I don't really have any. So I appreciate anything that is shared. That being said though, the statement "a commit possibly coming" is not "intel". A commit is always "possibly" coming unless your class is slam full. And as I read Ari's response he says he was told we were trying to get a commit TODAY. That's a lot more solid than what was originally posted.

No.. But it's by no means a slam dunk now.

That will be very disappointing if we don't land him. DB is a big need and so far we missed on Nixon and Landrews, moved on from Whigley, and may not get our top target. IYOK or Ari, who else is left on the board?

I thought we brought in all these new staff members because we learned our lesson after the debacle that was last year. It seems like more of the same. I know that today isn't signing day but after last year you can understand my cynicism. Hopefully we can turn it around.

Agree. Football is the combination of all resources available.

Baseball is similar to the competition between countries for who has the best educational system.

Basketball is similar to the competition between countries for who has the best medical system.

When compared to baseball & basketball, football is the competition between country in war.

Baseball & basketball are points pride & important to the overall well being of the fan base, while football is everything & important to the sustainability of the fan base.

MSU is the Tennessee of college baseball. We'll always recruit well due to tradition & fan support.

In basketball, you only need a few really good players. If all our football team needed was 4 outstanding players, we'd be really good.

I wouldn't put too much stock in crystal balls anymore since it seems the majority of the pickers just CB any recruit to whatever school they most recently had an interaction with, having no idea if a commitment is actually coming or not.

Yes, that's a part of the problem but Howland and Cannizzaro were known as ace recruiters when we hired them. By the same token, for anyone paying attention, it was well known when we hired Dan Mullen that recruiting was absolutely not his strong suit. In fact, Tebow basically said that he went to Florida in spite of Mullen's recruitment of him.

I think that's probably the case. In an interview at MS/AL practice he said AU/UL were a little ahead but didn't have much to say a/b either except for talking about ties to his dad. You could tell the interviewer was really pushing the AU angle. He went on to say he knew where he was leaning & the reason he was leaning to that school was "development". At the end of the interview he again said the reason he'll sign with his school would be "development" and reaching his goal of the NFL. Reads positive to me.

I've heard we really like Suggs (HS -- tackle) and think he's the best tackle prospect we've gotten under Mullen... future LT

Champion (juco) was a 4* out of HS, but didn't have the grades. Listed as tackle, but most seem to think he's a guard.

Gainer (Guard -- HS), Phillips (guard -- juco), and Richardson (tackle -- HS) seem to be project types.

Not sure about remaining HS targets, but Hayes is a juco tackle with very good offers. Seems like it's us vs Georgia for Hayes

That's a crash course based on just what I've picked up here. I'm sure someone can do much better

Don't give me that bs. If it's so hard then why are all our other sports recruiting at a high level except football?

It isn't bullshit, it's true. MSU baseball recruits itself. In basketball, we have a master recruiter at work.

People view MSU in a different light when it comes to football. It's not entirely accurate but it's what we're dealing with.

Ron Polk II proved that MSU baseball just doesn't recruit itself.

I agree with your points about the baseball staff, they've been killing it. Cannizaro is gonna take us to the top, if he stays the course.

Football recruiting should be better, and would be better if weren't for social media, and we had a coach that loved the recruiting game. But I'm glad we have the development type coach that's values work ethic and team players first.

I don't know about the social media part but I agree 100% about Dan not loving it enough. I'm fine with a coach that values work ethic and development but I also don't think that and loving recruiting are mutually exclusive. Both Howland and Cannzaro and before him Cohen all demanded hard work.

It's pretty obvious to me that Dan doesn't like all the drama but that's all part of it. He's the Ron Polk of our football program. He wins but he doesn't necessarily recruit well or maximize our potential in full.

Well, why don't we argue that basketball recruiting is more comparable since I would imagine that actually has less weight than a MSU football scholarship given our success in both the past 5-10 years. And yet how many 4 stars has Howland reeled in?

I would honest to God play a walk-on at RT before I moved Jenkins back. And to be clear, I would definitely move Jordan Thomas to RT. He's a luxury at TE for us and I love having a 300 pound TE with his skill set, but if get Pierce to go along with Johnson, Green, and then Dontae Jones, and Roberson it makes a LOT more sense to move him to RT, or play Eiland or Moon at RT than it does to play Jenkins at RT.

Why would that be worse than Rufus? RT is easier to play than LT and Thomas is a much better player than Rufus. We should go:

LT: Rankin
LG: JENKINS
C: Calhoun
RG: Story or Champion
RT: Jordan Thomas. Have him split with Eiland or Moon

Right side is a little iffy but Story looked OK when he played. We can use our TE's on the right side to help Thomas and Eiland/Moon out as well. Not having Holloway next year will help as well since Aeris and Lee can gets YAC.

Ole Miss sources are saying that CJ Avery may commit to Louisville tomorrow & that neither Auburn or MSU are confident.

After reading this, I'll give CJ one thing, he's is a hell of a secret keeper as this basically confirms that he's keeping everyone guessing.

I wouldn't be surprised at anything he does tomorrow. There seems to be no consensus about what he may do

Everyone has a source, but everyone's source is saying something different. When I hear that, I often think Avery is making a purposeful attempt to throw everyone off.

Avery can kind of get away with this because he's a mid- year enrollee &, unlike Feb signing day, teams don't really have to know today what he plans to do tomorrow.

Will be interesting. Not sure how Louisville makes sense though. Not sure I buy that until I see it

I mean, what kid from Mississippi has ever picked Louisville while holding offers from MSU & Auburn?

If we finish third to Auburn and Louisville, that's embarrassing as shit. That would be like Ole Miss finishing behind Tennessee and Houston for a big time kid in Southaven.

Honestly, if you don't get the kid does it matter if you are 2nd or 102nd?

Yep, in the words of Reese Bobby, in recruiting, if you ain't first, you're last.

Exactly. How do you know who finishes 3rd anyway? They don't hand out silver or bronze medals in recruiting.

That's what I'm riding with.

I hope you are correct and we get all of them but I'd be happy if we got 3 of those 5. The safety prospects make me nervous though. Surely we can get at least one of Avery, Cole, Landrews or Abrams.

Don't get me wrong, I'm pumped about Sweat. That is a huge get at a position of need. Rivers is a big get too, I'm just greedy. We are losing 6 seniors on our 2 deep. We need the bodies.

Speaking of Rivers and Sweat I like how they have some D-I experience and power 5 experience at that. I bet that makes their transition to the SEC easier.

How do we feel on instant impact guys? I feel like most of these have a good shot at being in the 2 deep, especially on defense considering we lost some depth and a few starters. But who are we thinking is instant impact starter?

I think Champion has a real chance on the OL. Other than that is the staff saying publicly or privately anything about one of these guys potentially being an instant plug and play next year?
