2019 Recruiting Thread

Hampton is a joke. Him getting that job over Chris jones was laughable.

Meridian is close to becoming a JPS school if they dont tighten it up

BSR has an interview up with Emery. Hope you guys know what y’all are talking about because Emery is saying otherwise.

[Cary Hudson's little bro]

?? Not sure what you heard...He said we are still his top school. Complimented Huff and Moorhead. Only coach mentioned by name except Knox at Florida, who has been recruiting him for years.

Once he takes his visits I bet he picks "MState" as he called us. #RPOlife

[Cary Hudson's little bro]

Emery said it's between State and UGA. Around 8:45 mark.

I hope Huff stays for a few years...

[Hambone]

In his opening statement State is not mentioned. At all. Once someone points us out THEN he talks about state.

That is regurgitated from an article and interview conducted like 3-4 days ago. Here is the link:

https://www.dawgnation.com/football/recruiting/elite-rb-john-emery-jr-and-uga-and-mississippi-state-theres-a-lot-to-get-to-here

It's very much slanted in UGA's favor and conducted by a UGA writer.

Thumbs up

[Pit Bull]

We are supposed to win most of the in state battles with an out of state school. We don't beat them for top players in Alabama.

And one bone to pick: We lost Raekwon because Hevesy convinced Mullen he was an Offensive lineman. Therefore, Hevesy was the lead recruiter.....

BAMA is not just ANY out of state school.....or have you figured that out yet? If they really want a player bad enough, they can go anywhere from Barrow, Alaska to Guam to the Canary Islands and take whoever they want. Even in our own state of Mississippi.....I am very thankful when we win a head to head recruiting battle vs them.

AL and Aub both coming heavy into MS this year while we are going way less into Alabama than we have the past few years. Outside of James down on the AL coast we don't seem to really be targeting much of any AL prospects like we have been.

Alabama is weird this year. 5 of the Top 7 kids in Alabama are OL and QBs. Those never leave the state. Plus the WR in the Top 5 is a Hoover kid. Those types almost always go to Bama.

It's also not a highly ranked defensive class in Alabama this year but it's got a little depth in that low 4 Star to high 3 Star range. Check these commits out:

According to 24/7 state of Alabama ranking:

1) Pitt has a commit from the 21st best player in the state
2) LSU has a commit from the 22nd and 27th best players in the state
3) Vandy has a commit from the 23rd best player in the state
4) Clemson has a commit from the 26th best player in the state
5) We have a commit from the 28th best player in the state
6) Florida has a commit from the 32nd best player in the state

The elite DL and RB aren't there this year. But there's a lot of those in that 86 to 91 range that have a ton of potential. I'm gonna see a lot of these guys this year and saw a lot of them last year. There are only about 8 or 9 day 1 SEC starter type guys in the state this year and only one of them is a DL or LB. Very very odd year.

[ShotgunDawg]

Hopefully the "problems" at Auburn will be resolved soon

What exactly is the problem?

Amazing how Alabama schools always have people working for them in Mississippi yet we never have those same people in Alabama.

Why is that?

Just our luck that the best defensive class in Mississippi history is the same year Alabama produces no defensive players. Crazy

My thoughts exactly. And the state of Georgia is deep and getting raided by a lot of people. They have 37 4 and 5 Star recruits. 20 of those are already committed out of state.

Auburn and Alabama are having to move around this year more than normal because in state isn't as elite and Georgia is getting raided from all over.

[Goldendawg]

Ari, IYOK, or another of you guys with good info, with only 8 slots left at this time, who do you consider our top remaining targets and our standing with them? I appreciate your insight. Not looking for any info that does not need to be discussed at this time. The free site on 24/7 still has Greg Knox as lead recruiter on some targets. Thanks.

[Todd4State]

AL and Aub both coming heavy into MS this year while we are going way less into Alabama than we have the past few years. Outside of James down on the AL coast we don't seem to really be targeting much of any AL prospects like we have been.

As long as we're pulling guys from Louisiana like we are I'm fine with that. I'd rather compete with LSU- especially when they are down- than I would with Alabama and Auburn. LSU is probably going to get 20 or so of the top players in Louisiana. Alabama and Auburn probably are going to get probably the top 35 as Alabama recruits nationally.

We would be less likely to get four star guys like Key, Whop, and Emery from Alabama IMO just because of the options and numbers in each state.

I'm not answering your question- but I have a feeling that we are going to make some big moves at Big Dawg Camp this year with some guys.

I wouldn't be surprised if we have some more Dannis Jackson type surprises this year. We'll see what happens- I think there are a few guys that are waiting and seeing how Moorhead does with us. He's off to a great start but a 10 win season may sway some guys like Mingo, Dean, Hall, Cross, and Turnage. If Ole Miss has a down year it could be even better because Joe will actually take advantage of it unlike Dan. It seems to me like our staff is a little bit more unpredictable to a lot of our recruiting experts on the web sites to a degree- like Pickering committing earlier than originally thought and Dannis Jackson committing when it didn't appear as if there was any interest at all. And I just think it's because it's a new staff.

I guess my point is it's difficult for really anyone to predict at this point.

[Covercorner2]

Why is that?

There is apparently someone within the MS HS coaching ranks pushing kids to AU. This made the rounds on both State and Ole Miss message boards. Word is that issue has been resolved.

To answer your other question, I would venture to say it?s because those schools, especially Bama just simply have a larger fan base, especially nationally.

[Ari Gold]

Some things will be a little more clear after BDC on some guys
The season will ha e a HUGE factor as well

Don?t be surprised if Dannis is on a few visits s. Might go soft on his commitment. I still believe he signs with us in the end but he?s going to bounce around a little. He wants to see the offense in action. And OM is selling him the ?next NFL WR? pitch. Kid just wants the ball in his hands. I still believe he signs with us if our offense is more diverse. And it will be.
Don?t be surprised if Bama and Young part ways down the road. He?s not going to like what they?re doing. He?s a little hung up on the big names but he?s going to figure it out I believe.

I spent the last couple weeks checking out collegiate summer ball from the Midwest to the east coast. Was surprised at the number of solid Juco guys I saw. Won?t be surprised if we pick up a couple next round. Saw several small school guys that could play in the SEC too. Parity in college baseball is still growing.

Yep. Our performance this season will play a pivotal role come early Feb. So far a lot of heavyweights are believing in us though as evidenced by our current commit list.

I still think we land Hall. Have a great shot at flipping Black and still in the game with Dean
There will be a new name Or 2 that will surface later ( out of state ) and we may see these at BDC

[somebodyshotmypaw]

We are definitely keeping the line of communication open with Edwards, because good staffs don't burn bridges and always have a plan B. But I don't believe at all that Edwards has a commitable offer at this time.

My guess is Hubbard is our next commit during or after BDC. Emery probably just after that with a chance of picking up Cross, Bell and Burdine before September. after that it will be wait until December for a couple more.

With the new offers, Cross dropped us down the line. I was told Burdine was behind someone but you know more than me on him. Cross isn’t coming unless he gets dropped by a couple schools. Was told that by a family member. Could be her opinion, could be fact. Either way, he’s not committing to us by Sept.

2. I'm just telling you what someone related to Cross said.
3. You might take Burdine. Doesn't mean State will. And I'll defer to FYOK on that one. He probably has better info on that deal than me.

Ari, IYOK, anyone else....reading on the other board that Dannis Jackson may flip to OM soon. I know you guys have been saying this recruiting year will be a rollercoaster of sorts, but do yall think we hang on to him? Will he flip soon, and we still have a chance to get him back?

That’s speculation based off a Yancy post no real evidence. It will be a very tough battle to keep him but I’ve heard nothing suggesting he’s flipping in a couple weeks. He may but I haven’t heard anything & think it’s more guessing on our fans part than anything based off intel.

Yes, FSU. I'd give OM a slight edge on us but nothing major. There's rumor he's about to pull another offer though. Not sure about the AU offer he's got because they didn't mention it. I took that to mean it wasn't a serious option, but that was an assumption.
And I'll tell yall what I tell everybody. None of this is 100%. I just pass along what I hear.

That’s what the board is for. I think him delaying his decision is a positive for us. FSU has his attention right now but I think they’ll sort of fade as time goes on. If the battle ends up OM/MSU I like our chances.

I appreciate your info. There's no way to be 100% on any of this unless it's your own kid. Keep bringing the info

[Johnson85]

We disagree on a couple things. I think we?re probably 2nd on Cross. We?d take Burdine now if he wanted to come.

So are we going to get at least 4 decent OL prospects? At some point, we've got to have a full OL class and really need a big one to make up for the last two years.

Thank goodness we should have Eiland and Reese for three more years. If we hadn't hit on them we'd be scrambling bad.

I think we’ll sign 5 OL this class. We have 2 very solid SEC OL so far in Washington & Cunningham. We add Hubbard that would give us 3 good OL. Then we have to find 2 more. We need to find a way to close on Cross. I think Cross would be the best OL we’d sign this year. I really like him. That 5th slot could go a # of directions. I know they’re growing on Coker Wright from Brookhaven. We’re looking at him as a Center. He had a good June camp & a good Big Dawg camp may be enough to seal the deal. Laquinston Sharp will be around late if need be also.

[Goldendawg]

Guys with good info: expect any commits during or after Big Dawg Camp? BTW: UNM now has 24 commits/13th in nation, so with Ealy turning down baseball, Black staying, and only 1 spot left no more recruiting competition from them right?** "Shirley", they wouldn't show a lack of loyalty to these young men and process some between now and the two signing days!****

[SmokeyDawg]

Am I confused or do they not have 3 or 4 less scholarships this year?

[Hambone]

Ealy won’t get drafted until next year??? How did he turn it down already?

[ShotgunDawg]

Ealy won’t get drafted until next year??? How did he turn it down already?

Ealy will go in the first round. He’ll never see a college football field.

[Commercecomet24]

Ealy will go in the first round. He’ll never see a college football field.

This. Ealy was never gonna see a college campus. Foregone conclusion.

[Todd4State]

Ealy will go in the first round. He’ll never see a college football field.

Isn't his Dad a baseball scout or something like that too?

It seems to me like a lot of times athletes that come from a baseball background seem to choose baseball.

[Todd4State]

Am I confused or do they not have 3 or 4 less scholarships this year?

What they are trying to do is keep their rating up for hype purposes with the hopes of replacing one of the 17 offensive line commits with a bunch of 4-5 stars down the line based on the hype and buildup.

It won't work.

Four would be an improvement over what we typically have been doing. And thank T-Buck for Reese.

As expected, K Jones committed to auburn

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

As expected, K Jones committed to auburn

Regardless, I feel like OL is in good hands after Jones' interview where he listed Johnson as the #1 reason he'd come here. Gotta believe he'll consistently get solid guys year after year if he keeps building those kind of relationships

[ShotgunDawg]

As expected, K Jones committed to auburn

Definitely expected but I'm proud of our coaches to get a hat at the table.

If you're in the running, you never know what might happen. Maybe we have a great year and blow out Auburn. Maybe Gus has the every 3 year debacle that has been the trend of Auburn and he gets fired.

Point is, you never know what will happen. If you're in the running, you never know how things may change.

[Ari Gold]

Yeah was really hoping Jones would have waited till after BDC and pushed back his decision.. there are no trophies for finishing second in recruiting but it’s damn sure an upgrade from the last 9 years of OL recruiting . This staff gets it and OL recruiting will continue to improve under Coach Johnson

I know its a difference but people said the same thing about Ginn

[ShotgunDawg]

True but Ginn is a right handed pitcher, of which there are many while Ealy is a much rarer talent.

[Todd4State]

True but Ginn is a right handed pitcher, of which there are many while Ealy is a much rarer talent.

Especially in this era where offense is at a premium.

[ShotgunDawg]

Especially in this era where offense is at a premium.

Well, the draft is about 60/40 pitchers over hitters.

If you look through the Major League Baseball, you can find quality right handed pitchers & pitching in general in different areas of the draft, but most all of the better position players come from the top 2 rounds. Throw that in with a him having ceiling of Andrew McCutchen or Rick Henderson, & he's going to go really high.

I'll put it this way. Kyler Murray went 9th overall this year & Ealy is better with a similar profile

[SouthMSDog]

Kyler Murray went 9th overall this year & Ealy is better with a similar profile

And he will be playing college football this year. I understand your point, I just thought it had a bit of irony to it.

[Ari Gold]

Ok let’s close the discussion on Ealy and the mlb draft .

[Bothrops]

Since we aren't getting a RB from the '18 class, now, are we going to open a spot for a second RB? Is the optimism for beating out Georgia for Emery still there?

[Ari Gold]

No unless it’s someone we can’t turn down

I think it is very informative to say "Wiltfong and others are now CB'ing Brooks to Arky" But saying we "may lose a commit" without providing context is not. It's not that hard.

[Ari Gold]

Saying we are losing a commit , and a GUY on 24/7 crystal balls him elsewhere is totally different
He may end up in Fayetteville in the end but just because he got a crystal ball means very little
Hell if that’s the case OM gonna get everyone..

Still thing biggest potentially issue with Cross now is FSU. You do have to feel good about a staff that offered Cross before 3 other SEC teams and a powerhouse ACC team did. Speaks well of talent evaluation, even if he was in-state.

Don't know. We heard the same thing from another poster concerning our 2018 class losing a recruit to ARK, and that player is currently on our team.

You aren't going to win every recruiting battle, Even Nick Saban knows that.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Sure, but there is no reward for 2nd place

The fact you can't win every single battle doesn't detract from the importance of talent evaluation. If we did a good job evaluating Cross, then it bodes well for our recruiting going forward, even if Cross himself doesn't sign

[Turfdawg67]

It's interesting that since 2013 we've signed 10 guys who did not qualify and ended up at JUCO.....of those 10 only 2 ever made it to State, 3 if M. Richardson signs this year. So if you don't qualify you face long odds of making it to State...

Just from the tweets, it looks like he's about to commit to LSU this week. Oh well, no RB this class.....lost one last class....better get back on our 2nd option (think I saw last week we were already, which should've been an indicator I guess).

He had no interest in LSU, skipped their camp, but something must have recently happened. Extremely odd to me that everything that was wrong with LSU & right about MSU completely changed during a dead period.

Extremely odd

I wonder what happened though. He hasn't visited LSU & it's been the dead period.

I feel like when you're recruiting to MSU, it's all about early momentum. You want all of your high 4* kids in the boat early to try to keep that rolling to other commits. Hell, I wouldn't even mind the OM strategy of taking commitments from kids who aren't serious/aren't gonna qualify just to bolster the recruiting ranking. It's all about perception.

[ShotgunDawg]

It's not over. Wait till he sees JoeMo's offense compared to Steve Ensminger's this fall. It's only July

In checking around as best I can, looks like Gray is not so settled on Meechican.

We're not recruiting him.

He's not at all. I also think this Emery to LSU talk is premature. We'll see but I don't see him committing this week.

[Doggie_Style]

you mean we 'weren't' recruiting him....don't think we can afford to go two years without a RB

[Ari Gold]

Holy shit .. everyone chill out a ****in second... there is some momentum to LSU right now just like there was to Uga a few weeks ago . I still like our chances . Emery may commit to LSU soon he may not .. it’s July
Let’s see what happens this weekend if he comes to TDC and even if he doesn’t it’s not over by a long shot

Rose bowl talks to a LSU Insider that gives him info and he runs with it... I bet the 24/7 board got a lot of clicks and views this morning ..,

I agree IYOK, been a lot of noise about Emery wanting to be the sole running back in a class and LSU has a 4 star commit Tyrion Davis and they are pursuing another highly regarded back.

[Cooterpoot]

Get Gray or Emery and we're good.

[ShotgunDawg]

Get Gray or Emery and we're good.

Good for what?

Emery and Gray aren't close to same caliber of player.

Are we trying to get to Atlanta?

I'm all for Gray but let's not act like him and Emery are equals

Rosebowl is talking to Emery's dad.

Emery is special but Gray is one heck of a backup plan though.

Yes, a backup plan

Nobody is saying they're equal but you acting like Eric Gray isn't the same caliber of back as a Kylin Hill is just as big an overreaction. Kylin Hill is good enough to get MSU to Atlanta at RB & so is Eric Gray.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Yes, a backup plan

Isn't that what good recruiters do have quality backup plans? I can understand being disappointed if IF we lose out on Emery but to act like a kid who's rated the #1 All purpose RB in the country is trash you're bugging.

[Irondawg]

Look even if Emery did commit to us I’m nervous until signing day. Even the big schools have guys flip last minute. We just need to hold what we have until the season starts and then produce on the field and let the rest take care of itself

There ya go ... let’s see what happens ..
did I think Emery would already be in the boat ? Yes
Did I think he would shut down his recruitment if he was ? No
Everyone relax a little..
This staff is head and shoulders above what we had here with CDM

[99jc]

Yes, a backup plan

combined. Are you their illegitimate love child?

[Pit Bull]

Steve Robertson reporting Emery will announce for the LSU Tigers in the next few days. Guess we need to activate that backup plan.

He's freaking good. Gray is committed to Michigan. He's legit.

[Captain Falcon]

If our “backup plan” is the number three all-purpose back in the country, we have come a really freaking long way as a program. If we end up signing Gray instead, that’s the best plan B we could possibly ask for.

[Bothrops]

Get Gray or Emery and we're good.

Gray is good, Emery is great.

[Cooterpoot]

Gray is good, Emery is great.

Meh. Little difference. Not enough to moan and complain about. Remind me the last time we flipped Michigan commits. They're pretty damn few and far between.

I'm all for wanting Gray. I suspect if we can work on him for a while, we can handle this. At the same time, it would take a lot of work and focus while leaving us in a vulnerable spot for one kid again, only closer to Feb.

Maybe, just maybe Emery will figure this out.

We've been talking to him and he's been talking to us. Getting him to flip would in no way hurt us. I doubt we move until Emery does, but I prefer to have Gray available. I'm not going to ignore him because he's committed. That would be crazy. And honestly, we've held off on everybody because of Emery already. That should end if he commits somewhere.

[Bully13]

LSU Nation is still punch drunk from losing Dak to us. They're prolly in freak out mode scared to lose another LA Great to MSU.

[Turfdawg67]

Jeez... just replace your text with the 'sad tuba' sound from the price is right, why don't you...

No shit... this dude lives for bad recruiting news. Suddenly our class is crap... ha!

[Turfdawg67]

I have to more or less agree.....we definitely have some ice forming on our wings.....we are asking some very talented kids to commit to a program with a head coach with no experience as a DI head coach and it looks like some of them aren't buying it.....Moorhead is going to have to light it up this fall to show people that we are legit...

Absolute shocker that you agree. **
