Nakobe Dean

[Ari Gold]

Dropped in recruiting Thread.
Dean to State

Have fun with that Umiss trolls.

[KOdawg1]

Suck on that shitbirds

[Lord McBuckethead]

For real? If so, welcome to State Dean.

[Big4Dawg]

What happened? I thought he hasn’t even visited?

[Bully13]

what does "dropped in the recruiting thread" mean? what's going on with Dean?

[Ifyouonlyknew]

What happened? I thought he hasn’t even visited?

He came to a Jr day

[ScoobaDawg]

what does "dropped in the recruiting thread" mean? what's going on with Dean?

Meaning Ari dropped the news in the recruiting thread..

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

What happened? I thought he hasn?t even visited?

Interestingly enough this news comes the day after Steve announces that ND is visiting MSU next week. hmmmmm

[Big4Dawg]

That’s why I was confused. If this came out after that, I could see it.

[Political Hack]

We've known for weeks he was visiting. I suspect Steve has too. Everybody was sitting on it because they didn't want other teams to jump in and mess up the visit schedule. Actually proud of everyone for not running to the keyboard immediately on this one. Helped get State in the game.

Exacalty ... and this is much more than just a Football visit .

[Gutter Cobreh]

Exacalty ... and this is much more than just a Football visit .

Looks like ND will be announced as our new baseball coach during his visit! Or, if we were like Bama, we'd just offer the job to his dad, uncle, mom, or whomever he is the closest to!***

Maybe Steve and Ari are one in the same.

Fact. Steve?s prediction record through the years rivals the preachers. And to be honest I think the preacher has a better record

Thought I would go ahead and bump this with his just to remind the shtbird trolls we are in the game for Mr Dean .

[Covercorner2]

Thought I would go ahead and bump this with his just to remind the shtbird trolls we are in the game for Mr Dean .

There was an interview with Dean?s Mom posted on the UGA boards yesterday. She didn?t mention State at all other than that they had been there before. She said UGA was leading with Bama second. Also mentioned A&M and Ole Miss as staffs they have a good relationship with.

I hope you are right and I trust you are dialed in, but something doesn?t add up and tells me we need to really establish ourselves in the running when he visits next. The link is below (if you can access).

Don?t take this personally or anything, more or less just passing along info that I came across.

Yea this doesn?t give you a warm and fuzzy feeling....a little concerning that we didn?t even get a mention

[Covercorner2]

ETA:

I listened to the actual interview, and she DID mention Moorhead and Lukabu when asked, but that was really about it. There weren?t really any questions about State, but she also never really brought State up, either. Again, just think we have a lot of work to do.

[Turfdawg67]

Just to be straight, "Dean" or someone else "to State" is not a prediction but a way of saying we are in the game, correct? If that article is correct and State is high up on his list, even possibly #1, then he's not telling his mom. Also, saw where Pickering picked up a CB to Florida...

[KOdawg1]

Y'all, Ari didn't say we were leading for Dean right now. Just give it time and let our coaches do their thing. It's a long time until this December.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

If we get Nakobe then this staff is amazing because I don't see us getting him. I think our LB class ends up being Jack Harris, Derrick Hall, & Zach Edwards.

[Covercorner2]

Y'all, Ari didn't say we were leading for Dean right now. Just give it time and let our coaches do their thing. It's a long time until this December.

Ok then this thread is pointless.

[Hambone]

There was also supposedly some big news coming over a month ago, however that turned out to be a big silent fart.

[msstate7]

Ok then this thread is pointless.

Yep. Marlon Humphrey, Payne, and knott to state too then

[Big4Dawg]

Thought I would go ahead and bump this with his just to remind the shtbird trolls we are in the game for Mr Dean .

So now we are just in the game? Switched from ?dean to state? to ?in the game??

[Hambone]

So, what Ari meant by Dean to State means he’s visiting state as in he’s going to state, to visit. Then that’s lame and not much of a prediction at all.

[Doggie_Style]

So now we are just in the game? Switched from ?dean to state? to ?in the game??

Lawd.....why don?t we just say that we are struggling with the top Miss. kids....that would be more accurate...it certainly appears to me that we are going to have to win the recruiting battle on the field this fall...if we have a mediocre season we will be ?settling ? a lot. If we win we could land a top class.

[Political Hack]

Yeah. We're "just in the game." Same as everyone else who has a shot with him. Two weeks ago nobody knew that. I'm sure Ari will be by shortly to apologize that the kid isn't already committed.

[Big4Dawg]

Yeah. We're "just in the game." Same as everyone else who has a shot with him. Two weeks ago nobody knew that. I'm sure Ari will be by shortly to apologize that the kid isn't already committed.

Uh, Leo to state meant Leo would be at state. Gay to state meant gay would be at state. Whop to state meant whop would be at state. Now dean to state only means "we in the game". This thread was just click bait

[MetEdDawg]

Nothing beats a good May flipout over a highly rated recruit. Our fan base has a looooong way to go in learning how to recruit in the big leagues.

Who?s is flipping out?

If we don?t land Dean, but land Hall, Harris and Edwards to go along with our D-line talent we will be more than fine.

?Learning how to recruit in the big leagues? also consists of knowing when to call a spade a spade, though.

[Bully13]

I wouldn't say we're struggling with the Top guys in MS. I feel pretty good about getting half of the Top 15. I wouldn't consider that struggling.

How many of the top 8 would you say?

[Ifyouonlyknew]

3-4 wouldn't surprise me

[msstate7]

3-4 wouldn't surprise me

Pretty solid.

[Hambone]

I guess I’m confused at this point. Isn’t 3-4 of the top 8 the norm for in state recruiting??? I might even rank that as a little low based on previous years.

[KOdawg1]

With as much talent as there is in this year's class, its pretty damn good.

[Covercorner2]

With as much talent as there is in this year's class, its pretty damn good.

Yup. As long as we get more than any other single team I consider it a win. Good chance that happens.

[ShotgunDawg]

I'll withhold judgement till signing day, but it'll be pretty disappointing imo if some majority combo of Dean, Turnage, Jackson, Young, Jones, Hall, etc leave the state.

That simply can't happen if we want to develop into a consistent threat to go to Atlanta.

We don't have the state population to makeup for the losses. Rationalize it any way you want but, if you can't protect your own turf, you have virtually no chance.

Depends on your oos recruiting. If you can supplement oos talent to replace the instate talent then you're fine. It's when you can't there's a struggle. Our oos recruiting so far has been good. Hypothetically say our class is

QB - Shrader, Plumlee
RB - Gray
WR - Torbor, Scurry, Watkins
OL - Cunningham, Richardson, Sharp, Cross, Washington, Hubbard
DL - Moore, Ani, Russell, Pickering, Lucas
LB - Harris, Hall, Edwards
DB - James, Purvis, Jones, Burdine, Emerson, Turnage

If you're upset or disappointed in that class then yes you're going to be upset about MSU recruiting all the time.

I'm afraid that some we lost one of our recruiting staff members, some of these guys predictions are going to be less reliable. Not ifyouonlyknew.. he's always reliable

[biggun]

When the parents are naming coaches & schools that stand out to them and we don?t even get anything but ?we visited there? that almost always means we are on the outside looking in and a long shot at best to sign him.

Agree, if this is the class because you have Turnage, Hall, Jones, and Pickering staying in-state.

But my post was less about what this class ranks and more about the idea that an SEC contender has to protect their own turf in recruiting.

As of now, it's uncomfortable how many of these guys are seriously considering leaving the state.

[Hambone]

That was my thoughts as well, Shotgun. Sure, it will be great to get as many of these guys as we can, however when over 50% of them could potentially go elsewhere that is a ton of instate talent that we aren’t getting.

[Covercorner2]

And we will probably get significantly more than any other school. We aren?t going to clean house in state. Especially not this year. That doesn?t happen in really any state aside from LA, and that situation is not comparable.

It?s not State?s fault that Ole Miss is a dumpster fire and not a top option right now. If Ole Miss wasn?t a dumpster fire, most kids would stay in state, but as it is, we are getting the lion?s share and the rest will be spread out amongst Bama, LSU, Auburn, Ole Miss.

How is outrecruiting those schools head-to-head a bad thing?

You mean out recruiting them in OUR State?

They will pull players out of Mississippi that we don't have the ability to pull out of Alabama or Louisiana. Emery would be our best chance at that.

From a philosophical standpoint, I don't like limiting expectations on in-state recruiting. That's our bread & butter, &, while we have to deal with reality, no MSU fan should OK with losing in-state players to out of state schools. I don't think we should every accept that.

Just my opinion

[Covercorner2]

What about Key Thompson? Jalen Mayden. We are pulling QBs from OOS.

You mentioned Emery. All of our RB targets are from OOS and are 4 stars. We will pull at least one.

We really don?t have to leave the state for DL, but like I said, we are going to win a lot of head to head battles there. Have you seen King Ani?s offers?

Same with LB. Everyone wants Hall. Edwards is committed to LSU. Dean is in our backyard and ?we are in the game? according to Ari, lol.

WR/OL is really the only place we have to leave the state and we are doing OK there, too, but don?t necessarily have a ton of leverage at that position. Should change soon, and already has some, though.

Most of our top commits right now are from OOS. No one is limiting recruiting to in-state. See my post above.

You and others brought up our ?struggling? in-state and I apologize for bringing some realistic expectations to the table.

What do you seriously want State to do? Sign all 14-15 in-state 4 stars? Even 10 would be a stretch and doesn?t happen anywhere outside of LA. Come on, man.

Is the Jones you keep referencing Raydarious Jones (sp)? Is he really that high of a priority? It seems we have Plumlee higher on our board than Jones based on visits. Turnage will stick w/ Bama I believe, but he will come here if not. Jackson will go to OM. I think we get either Young or Pickering, but not both. Maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised. We should get Hall.

Yeah I know Im a glass half full guy with a few of these predictions. But we are in the game for them as much as anyone and until I hear that changes Im going best case .

Im going to leave 2 spots open for jucos and / or a late surprise.
Im not sure we take Sharp. Wouldnt shock me if Cross ends up at UM. I still believe we only take 5 OL if we get the right ones
If we pull Emery I think that closes the door on Gray
I still think Ealy flips from UM but goes MLB
Pruitt better get in the boat soon and I think he does before the season starts
Edwards will more than likely be in the class but I think that depends on Dean. So right now I have him on the outside .

Lets see what happens. Camps about to get cranked up , lots of kids coming to campus , and BDC soon.
This isnt CDM and the CCB . Whole new level of recruiting

Rule #13 of following recruiting. Don't pay attention to the crystal balls. ESPECIALLY if someone from Ole Miss picked a crystal ball.

They would crystal ball Joe Moorhead's son to Ole Miss.

It’s more kid likes other teams better IMO. If we get Mingo great if not no biggie. It’s just June so we shall see.

My two cents is he seems like a camp/let's see how the traffic clears kind of guy. I think he's a good player though and I'd like to have him if we have room.

Looking at MSU's LB pedigree vs OM's, there is no comparison.

[AlSwearengen]

I would think that wr and lb recruiting should be a little bit easier for us to recruit simply b/c of who our coaches at those positions are and the nfl experience that they have. What is up with this Dannis Jackson kid?

OL - Cunningham, Richardson, Washington, Hubbard, Jones
DL - Russell, Ani, Moore, Pickering, Harris ( I think he ends up DL )
LB - Dean, Hall
DB - James, Purvis, Jones, Turnage , Emerson

Yeah I know Im a glass half full guy with a few of these predictions. But we are in the game for them as much as anyone and until I hear that changes Im going best case .

Im going to leave 2 spots open for jucos and / or a late surprise.
Im not sure we take Sharp. Wouldnt shock me if Cross ends up at UM. I still believe we only take 5 OL if we get the right ones
If we pull Emery I think that closes the door on Gray
I still think Ealy flips from UM but goes MLB
Pruitt better get in the boat soon and I think he does before the season starts
Edwards will more than likely be in the class but I think that depends on Dean. So right now I have him on the outside .

Lets see what happens. Camps about to get cranked up , lots of kids coming to campus , and BDC soon.
This isnt CDM and the CCB . Whole new level of recruiting

I will bump this and do a little update. Always good to give the ND thread a bump.. just to piss off UM trolls
With Plumlee committed to UGA I dont think we back off but unless he decomits sooner than later his spot may be gone.
Mingo is visiting this weekend , and with JJ in the boat now he is one of our best recruiters things may swing our way soon. May end up with 4 WR in this class. I think it’s a matter of time with Scurry
I?m not taking Dean off this list until I hear other wise
We are still in very good shape with Turnage
And with K Jones the more he is on campus the better, Aub is the team we need to beat out. I would love for it to be a battle with us and Hevesy..
Brooks should be in the boat sooner than later and may take Emersons slot ( FSU may get in on Emerson )
I told everyone Emery and he should pull that trigger in July . HUGE out of state pull
And like I said there will be a spot or 2 left open for a juco and / or late surprise. Looks like that juco spot may be filled soon
Also don’t close the door on DBlack. Juco or no juco he is a take and a flip there wouldn’t be surprising at all.

I'll add my 2 cents to this thread

QB - Shrader
RB - Emery
WR - Torbor Pruitt Watkins Mingo
OL - Cunningham Washington Hubbard Cross Sharp/Wright
DL - Moore Pickering Russell Ani ???
LB - Harris Hall Black
DB - James Brooks Purvis Jones Burdine/Emerson Turnage

That's my guess as of right now.

Are we moving on from Edwards or has he moved on from us or what?

Would this discussion be different if Mullen was still head coach?

That's a pretty damn good recruiting class right there.

Hopefully we can get Young to take that last DL spot & maybe we get luck with Jones on the OL or Dean.

That's one way I judge recruiting classes. I want to see how many "move the needle" players we got at each level.



Either way, this recruiting class gets you closer to ATL. There are impact players at every level of it.

I could've put him in my class & almost did. I think he slides in the class at the end of the cycle.

I just put in ITOK's class to the class calculator (plus Peter Parrish):

12 4 stars
Score of 259.49 = Good for #13 last year.

If we go juco route he is the guy as of now.

We have guys that will get bumps.. Purvis is one I think gets a big bump and might end up a 4 .I expect Moore to get a little higher may not get back to the 5 he was before the injury
Russell should get a bump
Torbor might get back to that 4 also

If we can pull off the Turnage flip and land either Dean or KJones we might creep into the top 10

If Young stays In state we are the school to beat .

[Tripp McNeely]

No

Care to elaborate?

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Fred Peters??

I really like Peters a lot. If we take juco Safety I think he's the guy. I really think we need a juco CB more than safety. If we miss on a HS kid I could see him getting in the class.

Charles Cross should be a 4*. He's the best OL instate imo & I really like Cunningham.

Just have some doubts.

Yes Good call. I have a strange feeling about Cross.. hope I’m wrong.

While we gain on Dean....we seem to be slipping a little on Pickering. Were 100% with Pick, now at 75% MSU. Appears Mullen and LSU are chipping away at him.


We are actually gaining with Pickering..


Super.....glad to know 100-25 = gaining. I'll call Mullen and O and tell them to stop contacting Pick. They need to know "it's over". Don't waste your time.

Ari was right. Pickering just committed.

[Ari Gold]

Ari was right. Pickering just committed.

I wonder if Pit Bull called Mullen and O to let them know they were wasting their time ..

You really think we sign Mingo??

[Todd4State]

You really think we sign Mingo??

I think he recently visited MSU and is coming back soon.

I think Dan's offense put off WR prospects in the state and I think a lot of the ones this year are in wait and see mode with Joe's offense. As much as Joe likes to push the ball downfield I think we end up starting to get some of the better WR prospects in the state plus Getsy is an elite WR coach.

I'm really starting to lean that way.

He was up there for a 7 on 7 camp but he didnt take a visit. Moorhead has spent a lot of time with him though/ Another Brandon kid did take an UV but he is 2019

[BuckyIsAB****]

I'm really starting to lean that way.

I think he wants to go to UGA but I believe you we are making up ground. If we sign this kid with Jarrian Jones that is a big time WR and lock up DB in the same class.

Jones could play WR too but I think hes a DB

[TUSK]

Does anyone have anything more recent than this on Dean? (it's about a month old)
