Meltdown coming

[preachermatt83]

I believe there will be an absolute meltdown here on signing day. It's very possible that Gay chooses LSU and Bowie chooses OM. I'm not saying that's gonna happen but it is certainly a possibility. This place will be the ultimate meltdown stop if that happens. If I had to guess I think we lose both.

[msstate7]

Sounds like the meltdown's already here**

Why you think we lose gay?

[Bubb Rubb]

It's unlikely Gay is going to LSU. They just flipped a linebacker from Oklahoma. I expect him to sign with us.

Bowie has ties to Ole Miss that are hard to overcome. But I'm hearing that we have.

I am usually negative when it comes to recruiting. I hate this time of year. But I feel good about both of these guys.

[Big4Dawg]

I don't think anyone will be mad if we miss out on DD. Disappointed, yes. Not mad.

If we hit on every remaining target and missed DD, someone here would melt for sure.

Is this post from 2 weeks ago? Geezus bro where have you been?

[bulldog2488]

What's the point of this post man? Honest question.

Since it's you guessing, I'm feeling even more confident about signing day...

[GreenheadDawg]

Excellent thread. Would read again **

[ScreenCaptureThis]

With pm's prediction, I feel 100% confident MSU lands both DD and Gay.*

I was already feeling good & now with this post I'm completely confident we get both.

[Cooterpoot]

Gay is already committed.

[MafiaDawg]

Please tell me that's what your predict will happen preacher. Bc then I'll feel great about our chances.

THANK YOU, you can wrap these two in maroon and white ladies and gentleman.

DD Bowie is actually a cousin of a former Bulldog RB. Don't believe all of the OM hype, he's by no means a slam dunk to OM contrary to what some people think.

Lol... don't u guys know anything!!!??!? I'm trying to seal the deal for us here and yal are trying to mess it up. Haha!! I honestly have no idea where either of these two guys go and neither does anyone else. The only thing that I know for a fact is that one of our recruits told me personally that Gay was a dawg and had already committed privately to our staff. Now if that's true or not who knows. Also Bowie has the full blessing of his mom and grandmother to go to state if he so chooses but he has shay hodge in his ear. That's all I know.

That would be Michael Davis

Lol. I got what you were doing. And I appreciate it. Some are saying Hodge has also turned some on UNM and has been speaking with a former coach. But that is info that's sketchy and several times removed so I put little in that right now.

That would be great news. I don't hear much out of Shay anymore.

[stalkingpoon]

Dear god. Is your life the 17ing boring that you sit around all day, thinking of dumb shit to post on here?

[HoopsDawg]

I'm hearing we close with Gay, Bowie, Cooper and Odom. Only misses come on the O-line YET again.

[Bothrops]

Is this to stir up drama? I get it not

[Bothrops]

We'll get Cooper, a sign and place.

There's a lot of folks think we land all three of those guys. Who u thinking we miss on the OL?

Rhoads is close. Coin flip probably between us and So Car and he is still committed to them so they have the edge IMO. He is a hard one to read

[Really Clark?]

We'll get Cooper, a sign and place.

He is not as sure of a sign and place guy now. Has work to do though

Really wish we could split carty and Rhodes with South Carolina

The list is long but distinguished, like my Johnson.

Jordan Tucker, Jordan Rhodes, Jordon Carty, Toryque Bateman, Saahdiq Charles, Caleb Chandler, Demarcus Hayes, and Obinna Eze

We locked up the guys with few offers though!

Champion and Suggs have offers.

[Commercecomet24]

Someone we need to give some props to is Taveze Calhoun. Taveze is all Dawg and he helps out a ton getting the word out to recruits about State, may have even had some influence on DD.

[Commercecomet24]

He is not as sure of a sign and place guy now. Has work to do though

Cooper is flying under the radar(i guess because of the sign and place being a possibility), but that is athletic and has a mean streak. He could be another Elgton.

I don't know if I would include Bateman or another guy in that. Bateman's recruiting has gone flat. If he could have he would have committed to 2-3 other schools and they wouldn't take him. Then there was a while nobody was talking with him much and there is no guarantee he ends up at Louisville but I think that's where he lands. When an OL recruiting goes like his and multiple teams back off late...I'm just thinking it may be for the best and I'm ok with parting ways.

[Really Clark?]

Champion and Suggs have offers.

TCU also offered Cooper and are trying to get him to visit, if I'm not mistaken.

[HoopsDawg]

If you asked Paul Jones 2 months ago who were the 3 most important recruits in this class, he said Jordan Tucker, Stephen Guidry, and Keishan Nixon. We missed on all 3. Then others talked of Bulovas. We missed on him too.

So we have had some misses in this class no doubt about it. But if we finish with the 4 guys I mentioned then it will be a solid year. Much better than last year.

[smootness]

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but we were never considered any kind of favorite for Tucker or Nixon, were we? And we only became a real possibility for Guidry when it looked like he was done with LSU.

It's just hard for me to consider guys we weren't firmly in it for to be our most important recruits. I think our most important recruits this cycle are Hill, Gay, and if he plays WR, Bowie. In-state talent we're firmly in it for.

Thompson has to be in that list along with at least 1 juco safety

By the way, Hill was already committed at this point. That's why I said it was his post 2 months ago about the most important targets left on the board.

At that time I probably would've agreed with him. Except I probably would've had Willie in Tucker place just because of perception. Guidry & Nixon were day 1 impact guys at positions of need. Tucker was the highest rated OL we were on. If you could get DD at WR & Lenoir at CB(not saying we do just hypothetical) we've replaced those 2 guys with similar talent. Now of course we'll see on Tucker but if you get Rhodes or Carty you've come close. It's not the guys you don't get it's the replacements you get for them that determine how big a loss they were.

Steve said this on his show the other day and I think it is a good point we as fans often miss: The coaches can recruit a guy as hard as they can but sometimes recruits just like the other guys better. It's not always the coaches fault or that they didn't work hard enough. I don't think it's completely fair to say we "missed" on all those recruits as if it was something we did or didn't do that send them to another school. Scott Lashley I agree we dropped the ball there, but in regards to these particular recruits we gave it a shot and it just didn't work out.

I've never seen a bigger whiff than with Lashley. He and his family were all dawg. I don't pretend to have a lot of insider info but I literally talked to him 2 weeks before he committed to Bama. Saw him at a Cracker Barrell. He and his whole family were decked out in MSU gear hanging out in the merchandise store and we were both looking at some of their MSU stuff. I asked him if he was a State player (I didn't recognize him) and he said yeah and introduced himself. I responded with "oh, you're going to be signing with us in Feb. Cool!" He said "yeah, I'm excited and can't wait to get over there". Then two weeks later... Don't know what happened in that short a time span.

[DLGDawg]

Someone will melt even if we get all mentioned ....AND DD.


If we hit on every remaining target and missed DD, someone here would melt for sure.

That doesn't sound like a whiff to me. Sounds like we did a good job.

Saban is what happened.

Huh?...no *****?

[Big4Dawg]

Huh?...no *****?

We recruited him well but our boosters ****ed it up. Not coaches fault. Early signing period would have helped this.

[lamont]

Why would we melt? It's been the norm for this staff
