Dannis Jackson Commits to MSU

[ShotgunDawg]

Damn fellas. Damn. I'm obviously extremely excited about this coaching staff, but almost equally mad at Mullen for not trying to recruit.

Can you guy believe that Mullen left a job that gave him the biggest excuse that any coach could ever ask for only to be exposed as a lazy ass recruiter?

Holy smokes this staff can croot

[Cooterpoot]

And there goes one of my predicted commits.

[Todd4State]

Yes. I am not surprised that Dan has been exposed as a lazy recruiter.

I've been saying it for 10 damn years.

[ShotgunDawg]

Preacher, it's awesome & there is no phony bible versus or shenanigans.

This staff simply connects with players.

[ShotgunDawg]

Yes. I am not surprised that Dan has been exposed as a lazy recruiter.

Just incredible that he lacked the self awareness to realize it.

[msbulldog]

HAIL STATE BOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BuckyIsAB****]

Moorhead is a winner. I said it yesterday, after going to a few camps and meeting him several times he is the most likable and down to earth guy.

His effort and attention to detail go along way with kids

[Todd4State]

Just incredible that he lacked the self awareness to realize it.

I think his arrogance is what caused the lack of self-awareness.

[msbulldog]

I think we are a little more Mississippi made!

[Bulldog1]

HUGE!

[Todd4State]

I think we are a little more Mississippi made!

Just the 4-5 star in state players.

[ShotgunDawg]

Remember he is Jordan Thomas' cousin. It was actually more surprising that he showed little interest in us till now than him signing with us IMO

[ShotgunDawg]

OH NO, another 4 star. That means it's one less 3 star we can take

[dawgs]

Yes. I am not surprised that Dan has been exposed as a lazy recruiter.

Yep. Mullen was a very good coach and probably the best we've ever had, but he had/has 2 glaring holes that kept him from being a great coach. One is crootin'. I can't blame him for being less than excited about kissing 16-18 year olds' asses, but when you're paid millions to do so and it's an essential part of the ultimate goal in your profession, you suck it up and do it. The other was his overly conservative approach in big games. He definitely tucked his wiener and played to keep it kinda close instead of playing to win more often than not against the best in the conference.

[CadaverDawg]

Question: Ole Miss fans are all acting like this commit won't stick....do we expect it to stick, or no? Their message boards look like ours when Jerrian Jones committed to OU, that's why I ask. Huge pickup

I bet he sticks because the whole reason he wasn't all that interested in us initially was because he thought we were going to continue to be a power running team that doesn't throw the ball deep.

More often than not recruits that have a family member that played at the same place that they were recruited at tend to stick.

[Turfdawg67]

Man, I needed this today! Possibly Black too? Or is this what Diwun was referring to?

[Bulldog1]

More big news is coming!

[Leroy Jenkins]

[BuckyIsAB****]

Granted I've never seen the kid play a live snap but his hudl is pretty impressive. Great ball skills good after the catch.

He is pretty damn twitchy on the jump balls and key screens Shotgun

[BuckyIsAB****]

Remember he is Jordan Thomas' cousin. It was actually more surprising that he showed little interest in us till now than him signing with us IMO

He saw Jarrian Jones and some other big fish get in the boat. Momentum is a powerful thing

[Leroy Jenkins]

He was on campus today.

[BankerDog]

Our big board right now is pretty dang impressive:

Young-Bama lean. Us if he stays in state.
Hall-AU/US
Dean-out of state I think. Us if he stays in state.
Turnage-Bama Commit but he'll flip to the good guys.
Mingo-I don't know. Good to have Nelson, Banks, etc in his ear. Believe it's gonna be a AU/UGA/MSU battle for this one.
Edwards-I think he gets left out
Emery-US
Watkins
Wynn
Scurry
Jones-AU/US
Cross-FSU/US
Hubbard-US
Black-Juco but us
Brooks-US
Emerson-FSU/US

He's been to campus a few times. This was his 1st visit this year. Hud & Getsy had been on him extremely hard. The OM talk came because LSU which was his favorite wasn't going to take him. He visited OM so the talk got loud that he was headed there. That was before this group led by Jarrian & Charles really started talking about playing together instate. Pickering & Jarrian never showed OM any interest so that along with this staff being able to sell the vision that WR will flourish in this offense won out.

[drummerdawg]

Up to #6 in the country now. Not bad.

You ever think about who gave him all those raises and a contract with no buy out of any consequence in his last contract? That would be Mr. (loafers) Stricklin, maybe this was pre-planned?

[Bothrops]

The truth is often stranger than fiction. Mullen was a huge upgrade when he came in, but I have to wonder how much he held us back in 7 of the 9 seasons he was here. He had resigned himself to the belief that elite recruiting could not be done at MSU and gave up. Kids like no-nonsense leadership. We have that now with Moorhead and staff.

Ole Miss now has to ****ing beg.

[KOdawg1]

Up to #6 in the country now. Not bad.

And we most likely have a commitment coming from the #2 RB in the country on July 7th. It'll only get higher

[CadaverDawg]

Can you read? I'm wanting to know if our experts think it sticks. I'm very excited, hence why I hope it sticks

[msstate7]

And we most likely have a commitment coming from the #2 RB in the country on July 7th. It'll only get higher

Maybe, other teams will get commitments too though. If we finish 12-15th, I'll be very happy

If he sticks or not, this isn’t a Jerrian situation. If Jet had committed to somewhere like Tenn or Fla then they have a legit claim.
Its panic mode no doubt in Oxford. Just shows what a Big time SEC caliber staff can do compared to that Shit show they have up there.

Regardless of what the rankings say, we have some STUDS in this class. Guys the other staff would've never dreamed of

Sorry, meant never before today...

As soon as Pickering committed it was basically done with Dannis. Between Jones and Pickering (he?s tight with them) And his cousin playing here and getting drafted, I think he sticks. Not saying he won?t dance around a little, but in the end he?s ours I think.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Sorry, meant never before today...

It wasn't his 1st time on campus

[NCDawg]

You and me both. Can't tell you how glad I am Mullen and Hevesy are gone.

[Goldendawg]

Just incredible that he lacked the self awareness to realize it.

Dan helped build a foundation after Coach "Doom" by getting us to be able to beat OOC teams, teams we were supposed to beat, Kentucky, Arky, LSU & Auburn every once in a while and UNM until his annual job search after his every year loss to bama I read here many times that "He thought he invented football". His arrogance, country club boys (who can't or won't recruit) and constant turnover of DC's stopped us from taking the next step. Check out Dan's record against ranked teams and the SEC. Today's schedules and 12 games make 7-5 or 6-6 much easier than in the past. I believe we are ready for that next step with JoMo and this staff. Hail State!

[Liverpooldawg]

I agree this staff is awesome on the recruiting trail. But as usual for me I'm going to go realist on you dudes: Do you seriously think we would have got these guys if Mullen hadn't improved our standing in the world? Mullen probably wouldn't have got nearly what we are getting now, but without the last nine years neither would Moorhead. In fact, Moorhead wouldn't be here. Remember where we were under Croom.

Mullen was a PITA but, had it not been for him, we would NOT be where we are today. We are where we are because Dan Mullen brought us here.

Yancy is so salty right now.

He's telling the flock that MSU is playing the game while they cannot. We cheated with Leo, lalalalalalalalalalal

Yes. Moorhead would have not allowed CJ Johnson and the Army AA debacle to happen and of Moorhead's o-line coach recruited like Hevesy his ass would have been gone. Hevesy got nine years.

I'll agree to 89.9% of what you say about Mullen's recruiting, but some cases could NOT have been avoided do to "outside influences"... one being life-long MSU fan CJ and another being S'vile resident AJ. Especially CJ... dude was wearing MSU gear to school every day until about a week before signing day. Similar to the stories about Tunsil.

Say a Husband and wife have a kid. Wife leaves husband for a snake oil salesmen with a square head and pointy nose.

The husband can love the child hr had with her. He can even appreciate some of the things she did to raise him. He can admit to the fact she helped make the kid great.

But he doesnt have to like her and he doesn't have to think it's blasphemy to speak the truth about her and her faults.

No doubt Mullen turned us around, but after 2014, Mullen should've been crootin' like this. Instead we recruited in 2015-2017 substantially the same way we did from 2009-2014. He didn't capitalize on dak, #1 ranking, NY6 bowl, etc. at all, he just did the same he always had.

[dawgs]

Yeah, the reduction in visits is much bigger than most realize. I live in Oregon, so I follow the ducks, and part of helfrich's downfall after mariota was the reduction in visits from the chip kelly NCAA troubles (and Oregon wasn't hit nearly as hard as OM in scholarship reductions or bowl bans), there just wasn't talent there to follow the mariota era. Taggart was and now cristobal is getting the talent level back up with the sanctions gone, but it's a process. OM is gonna have a rough couple years. Luke was given the permanent gig to see if they strike gold and if not, he'll be easy and cheap to fire in a few years when sanctions are gone.

No doubt. Mullen had one foot out the door instead of one foot on the gas. He could have improved his staff and cut the fat but you can see he likes his country club cause they all at FL now. JoMo showing Mullen what he should have been doing all along after that run to #1.

[Todd4State]

Whatever man. Moorhead wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Mullen. When you start at the bottom you have to work your way up, unless you want to go the Ole Miss/CJ Johnson route. We have historically SUCKED at that route.

Dan's highest rated class was his first one that he shared with Croom in terms of recruiting team rankings. He did have one other class that was ranked as high but none higher. If anything he kept us the same as Croom as far as rankings go. No one stays at the bottom for eight straight years.

And probably before that. There is no excuse to have a 9 win season and be outrecruited by an Ole Miss team that lost to Jacksonville State.
