How did Guidry end up at McNeese St. out of high school?

I'm not gonna bash the kid but he fits somewhere like that better than LSU in my opinion. He has the size and speed but he has a lonnnnggg way to go as an Sec receiver.

I have really have no clue, but, if Bowie was completely set on going to OM, I think OM would've bottled this up by now.

The longer he shows the interest, the more I'm coming around to the idea that maybe he doesn't want to go to OM

bulldog2488
01-11-2017, 10:47 AM
Good point. I personally think if we get him on campus we have a great shot. Also, didn't he make comments recently that if the NCAA investigation wasn't over by signing day he was not going to Ole Miss?

For those who are wondering, one of Grantham's stops with visits starting back today will be with Gay. Of course we will be seeing a ton of guys but Grantham obviously is making him a priority. It's a no brainer but thought some might like to know. Some other interesting visits: Stephen Guidry and trying to nail down if he is OVing or is the door completely closed. We will be seeing Bowie tomorrow. Flying TBuck out west to try a get a visit from a CB.

TBuck allegedly made a similar trip to Florida and plucked Stewart Reese around this time last year when no one thought he could do it. Granted we have better ties to Florida than So Cal, but I wouldn't put it past him.

This is my biggest complaints about Hev and Gonzo apologists. Not saying you are one.

You can come up with a valid reason, perhaps even legitimate reason, why they lose the recruits that they lose. However, I don't see this as being about Rhodes, Guidry, McMath, AJ, or any other individual player. This is about a collective, awful recruiting effort from both of these individuals.

Since it's already coming out look for Oliver to decommit. Grantham and the staff are shuffling the board to get better fits for him and our needs with that. Peterson talked with him last week and we will continue to talk with him. He may go to Louisville with Sirmon but he also fits UNM scheme at OLB better than ours now. So it is a possibility.

We had a bad LB group last year and were bad at RB for a year and a half till aeris emerged. LB problems could've been more bc of defensive philosophy charge, but still
I'm interested to see Erroll at ILB since he played DE in high school for the most part. Saban even recruited him and compared him to Courtney Upshaw..... should be interesting to see.

Erroll was an absolute animal in high school.

It does suck to lose a guy as promising as Oliver, though. I think he could be very solid in a couple of years. I suppose this class could still finish top 25, if we land Gay.

Well I was wrong about Odom, his tweets were very leading, though.

Ari is right, however, that we need quality depth. Shouldn't offer guys just to fill spots. We have the lead on the top LB in the state next year in Will Robinson from Hattiesburg.

Speaking of Hattiesburg, Ari/IYOK what are your guys thoughts on us passing Jordan Murphy? Also any shot at Fabian Franklin or Jarveon Howard?

Gay has always been very imporatant. He just became absolutely vital.

Keep an eye on the LSU LB board. I personally think we are fine, but I keep hearing that LSU is slow playing him while going after Phillips and Ellis.

I think we end up getting some good news on signing day (assuming he waits that long), but after last year's finish I'm still suffering from PTSDD. (Post Traumatic Signing Day Disorder)

Carty CB'd to South Carolina.

Just read this from USC's 247 site:

-South Carolina is going to try to sign two more offensive linemen in this class, but they aren’t just going to take a player to take one. Jordon Carty out of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., is an option, but I hear his grades are an issue and then one more if they find one more they like. That being said, those types of situations can change and Carty has big enough upside to where he may be a sign-and-place candidate.

I didn't know grades were a problem. Great

The CBs don't bother near as much as South Carolina getting the last visit. Boom is one hell of a recruiter and I don't like him getting the last sales pitch. Perhaps there's nothing to worry about; but like I said, if carty is uncommitted going to South Carolina on last weekend, I think they get him.

There was some defensive commit (can't remember who) who said they haven't even talked to Grantham yet and that was about 4 days after he was hired.

Not trying to excuse our staff by any means, but this idea that we were going to start cleaning house in-state once OM's name hit the mud was never going to actually happen. We may get 1 or 2 guys a year that they would have gotten otherwise for as long as they're under the NCAA's heel, but for the most part we attract different types of players. Most of the guys they would have gotten will be more attracted to out-of-state schools whose personalities and recruiting pitches are similar to OM's instead of just defaulting to us.

Anyone who feels confident about any recruit at this point (Gay or anyone else) leading up to signing day is just either really na?ve or really polyanna. Now we are having a significant problem holding on to current commits, much less adding new ones. Blinding flash of the obvious, but we are just not all that good at the recruiting thing. Just at DE/OLB we have now lost Odom and the guy from Miami, FL that signed with TN.

We either have to change our recruiting pitch or I don't ever want to here "_____ to MSU" before Feb 3rd ever again on here. I can't fathom how a bunch of coaches with experience in tons of programs that actually CAN recruit, CAN'T recruit! I'm sick of excuses and how "so & so was a tweener anyway, no big loss"...bull shit. Bc any decent 4 star player is no more of a tweener than the nothing we will fill his spot with. We suck at recruiting, and until our pitch changes from "hard work, have to earn playing time"....nothing will change. These guys all know they won't just walk in & start since we aren't paying them the way others are...so tell them the good stuff &what they CAN do, and spare them the "IF you climb the depth chart by working hard and having a great practice the previous week, you MIGHT get a few snaps your Sophomore year AFTER you redshirt & learn playbooks & blocking schemes as a freshman." I wouldn't choose that horse shit either.

I'm not saying go all Ole Miss & promise the world with no work...but there is a happy medium, and you have to get them on campus first. When everyone else is preaching immediate playing time, league Championships, and college life...you can't be the lame asses preaching a military boot camp and think you're going to get anything but a few soldiers' kids. And it's great to have hard workers, but in college football...SEC football...you aren't winning at any type of high level without some talent

It's about got to willie gay or bust

Yep and that's pathetic. We will probably add Sherman Timbs from Indianola too and that's about it.

My apologies to you for mocking you a bit yesterday for your recruiting freak outs. Mullen and Co are not good at recruiting. We will finish in the late 20s or 30s and that is unacceptable.

I still hope the staff makes me look foolish. I was really doubting them leading up to juco signing day and they came thru pretty strong. Hopefully they duplicate that again

I had definitely given up on Simmons leading into signing day last year...I thought it was Southern Miss when he showed up to announcement wearing black and gold.

I feel the same way about Gay right now.

Howland should put together a PowerPoint presentation for the entire football staff. And then take a few of them on in home visits with him so they can see the magic first hand.

Obviously not going to happen, but as an MSU coach could Howland recruit for football?

I don't remember if it was discussed on here or not but they were coming after him right after we changed DC. He actually fits Sirmon and UNM Hybird OLB/S better than Granthams personnel. Several said don't be surprised if they or Louisville get him.

I guess we are going to miss on every OL target we want coming down the homestretch. What the hell is our problem? You read one article where a kid loves Hev(Suggs maybe), and all I here from the board is HS coaches and kids don't like him. I don't what our achilles heel is with linemen but we got to figure it out.

Carty is a strange deal though. He tweeted out that he was committed to us, but quickly deleted. After our visit, 2 days later South Carolina guys started CBing his there and carty hasn't visited South Carolina yet. May seem like a dumb question, but does he have a committable offer from us? I'm sure he probably does, but that would explain deleting the tweet and then going all South Carolina immediately after our visit

That does sound very strange. Visit us, tweet commit, delete, CBs to SC without a visit. I dunno.

We have a strange history of guys committing to us and the commitment not even lasting 24 hours. That is why I just erased Carty as a possibility in my mind once he decommitted immediately after committing. I mean last year we had S Lashley and R Davis BOTH do that to us and a few years ago we had the McKenzie guy from Florida do that to us. I guess I don't understand the process of how that keeps happening?

We also had Willie Gay commit to our coaches privately and then commit to OM publically. Hopefully he is the one this year that our coaches are "all in" on to get because he is a huge need.

What a joke, SC is one of the few SEC schools with a worse football tradition than MSU. Never really been relevant other than the few years they had under Spurrier.

Denzel Houston a QB/Ath from FL is visiting this weekend. Former WMU commit who shows offers from Louisville,USF, FAU. Good speed but undersized at 5'10". Maybe a CB prospect for us. One of the other guys can clarify that though.
