According to Steve, there is a rising sense that Emery will commit to LSU within the next few days and that he won't be attending Big Dawg Camp.

What the hell has gone on during dead period? Didn't think he had any interest in LSU and now he's likely to commit?

Weren?t we told for months not to worry about him? You had to know something was up when he pushed his date back. It is never a good thing when that happens. I don?t care what any of the ?experts? say

Freeze said he learned everything he knew about recruiting from O. I guess that's why ole miss was able to sway people during dead period when Freeze was there. With O at LSU he has just as much of a chance to win the SEC west as he would at State.

Once he got the 5th star I knew the pressure from the locals would ramp up to peak levels. My question is, if we don't get Emery then who do we turn to at running back? Seems like we had most of our eggs in the Emery basket.

One thing I am certain on. This coaching staff won't concede anyone like the previous one did. It's not even close to over. Also, a lot of LSU folks like to put out a sense that any major recruit will naturally commit to them if they are in the State of LA. He may give a verbal to them but it won't be over by a long shot.

Maybe we should not expect to, but I admire the staff for trying. A lot of highly recruited Louisiana kids go out of state, usually to a top program. We just have to convince them that we are a top program. This is one way that "always being underrated" hurts us.

I'm hearing this LSU talk may be premature. I could be totally wrong & he commits to LSU at lunch. I don't think he commits this week. I think it's still in August & I think we still have a good chance. If I'm wrong then hey I'm wrong.

Had Ari+IYOK+Bucky+Steve all said "John will pick State, but he enjoys the process and wants to have fun" I never would have worried about it. But Emery set a commitment date, he was wantign to shut it down. The second I heard he was pushing it back an taking his WHOLE FAMILY to UGA, I knew he was seriously considering other schools. Once a guy goes from "I'm setting my date to pick state" to "I'm pushing the date back so I can rethink" they seem to rarely come back. Lovett last class was an exception, but honestly I think he might have just been pulling a Leo and getting some cash from tsun.

For Emery to go from hard on state, to wanting to give UGA more time, to now heavily leaning LSU tells me we peaked and crashed hard in his mind. If his mind is changing this fast it bodes well for us being bale to change it in the next 4 months, I guess.

Who's the next RB? I assumed we stayed on Gray despite the Michigan commit, and will Emery... but does anyone know the top currently uncommitted RB on the board?

Lsu has all the talent in the world but they are on a slow march into the wilderness. Have been since the middle of Miles’ tenure. With the new OC they have, it will get them there faster.

If everything we have heard about Emery and lsu is true, then we know what happened. We just have to find a way to make things equal on that front. I feel pretty good saying that our coaches are considerably better than lsu’s. If Aries and Kylin can put up big numbers in the new offense, that will be hard to turn down if everything else is equal.

You think he is getting extra benefits to go to LSU but was coming here for no extra benefits?

I'd rather him committ to LSU than UGA. Solid chance O is fired after 6-6 this season.

I figured we would have a hard time getting him after the July 9 day passed and he later got his 5th star. Tough to compete with LSU and Orgeron close by. My hope is that he wait until after the season to commit.

Long way to the early and last signing day. Results on the field could make a big difference. Losing a 5 star from La to LSU won't bother me near as much as MS players in the best class in ages going out of state to bama (they usually get who they want) and especially AU (really will sting), etc. The article on 24/7 regarding our last 10 targets was written as a real downer as it looked like we would get out recruited on virtually every one by various SEC "big boys". Love the effort by our new staff but we will need to hold the ones we have and finish stronger than in past years. Maybe BDC will bring more good news. Hail State!

Down to their level? They have 24 commits and are ranked about 15th because of the #. There are about a dozen named schools that will move above them, especially if they lose Black and/or Ealy. It is a shame that they can even get the players that they have committed now after all that they have done. Heck, the Mueller investigation will probably be finished before the NCAA decides on their appeal and finishes the slap on the hand. We do need to always watch our back.

To begin with. Rest assured, if they win this battle, their commanding general is Ed Orgeron. They’re losing the war.

There's always going to be a lot of local pressure on players from Louisiana that LSU wants. And if LSU has to pay a local recruit they're going to get away with it 99 out of 100 times because they have no rival to turn them in.

See Landon Collins as exhibit A.

It goes both ways. If we by chance happen to land Nakobe Dean no one is going to question it other than Ole Miss fans.

My God some of you sound like such babies who are too used to getting their way.

Do you not think it is possible that during the down period locals got to talk and pressure him. Meanwhile, no MSU contact because of dead period made it a little easier to hear what they were saying?

Why do some people automatically assume some one is cheating just because we lose some ground. Get over yourselves and take off the maroon tinted glasses every once and a while.

I gather two things about this situation.
1. During the "dead period" LSU has made a move. Whether it is family and friends getting in his ear or the Staff at LSU making the most out of the dead period opportunities, it really doesn't matter.
2. Its not over, so everyone needs to keep it chill. LSU has more RBs on roster. They have more RBs currently committed. Their offense is a question mark, just the same as ours. Its only July.

What I don't get, is why Emery would want to sign with another RB in the class? He is one tweaked knee at the wrong time like during fall camp away from missing an opportunity long term. Coach O has never had an elite RB play for him. S Barkley should go to this guys house and testify.

Emery is not worried about the competition but I assure you the other RB commit will be worried about getting playing time behind him. Emery is elite, go watch his film.

And the coaches and schemes he will be learning and developing from the next 4 years at LSU will have dick to do with past LSU NFL RB's. JO MO has a much better recent example than O. Just replay the goal line stand we did against LSU for Emery. Then ask him "See that LSU RB? , Don't be that LSU RB"

Again I could be 100% wrong but I think the LSU done deal talk was premature. I still like MSU chances & im going down with the ship.

This. They?re not used to us handing it to them. These two schools have played more than anybody else in the conference. It?s not really a rivalry, and we don?t have to manufacture a rivalry to make ourselves feel better by pretending that one of the big boys thinks about us as much as we think about them. But it is a perception thing. You can?t lose a Louisiana 5* from your backyard to MSU.

Why an offensive player of his caliber would play for O blows my mind. He doesn?t even know what kind of offense he wants to run. They?ve changed it three times between the spread and power I since last year. They?re gonna be woeful on offense this season. They have nobody who can play on that side of the ball. Nobody. Watch the Spring games (yeah, yeah. I know, but still) and tell me which head coach looks like he?s got it together. It ain?t Yaw Yaw.

And , really, O has to do something. This is gonna be. 6-6 type year for them, at best 3-5 in conference, probably even 2-6. 2/3 of the fans down there don?t want Onto begin with. They wanted Fischer. It?s desperate on the Bayou.

Not saying it's over. But, the fact that we are in the game with him at all speaks volumes to how far we have come. We keep winning and keep on the right track we will start to land a few of these guys here and there.

Building a program from a solid foundation takes time and effort on all fronts from fans to coaches to the adminstration. All of the pieces are falling into place.

If we continue to win with JOMO it will show everybody that this wasn't just a Dan Mullen thing and was actually a program that was being built and taking the next step. Bigger than any one coach.

We will be alright and are in the process of putting together a really solid class. The world isn't ending. Football season does need to get here though, the off season is in full swing.

I love the optimism & I hope you're right, but I'm not sure if the issues with types of recruits can be solved by winning & I'm not sure if you can win the necessary amount to land these types of recruits without having these types of recruits on the field.

This is not the first time we've been in this type of recruiting battle, whether it's Emery, Humphrey, Scarborough, Akers, Sullivan, Perriloux, & others, we've been here before but have trouble breaking through.

KT is probably the best example of us breaking through, &, I could be wrong, but KT & Dak both felt like mis-evaluations by LSU's staff & they didn't figure it out till too late. With Whop, we were lucky to KT & I'm not sure LSU really ever pushed him.

Unless we are going to start winning all the in-state battles, we've got to pull of some of these recruitments, if we want to take the next step.

KT is probably the best example of us breaking through, &, I could be wrong, but KT & Dak both felt like mis-evaluations by LSU's staff & they didn't figure it out till too late. With Whop, we were lucky to KT & I'm not sure LSU really ever pushed him.

Unless we are going to start winning all the in-state battles, we've got to pull of some of these recruitments, if we want to take the next step.

Winning more = slightly better recruits = winning more = slightly better recruits = winning more = championship = big time recruits. That's the real game plan and that is the trajectory we are on IF Jomo takes us to the next level or at least keeps us as 8-10 wins per season. We are building a program for sustainability.

LSU thought that Bennan kid was better than KT.

Agree. We've landed some big recruits out of Louisiana, but they are almost exclusively guys that LSU mis-evaluated.

Is that against NCAA rules? If not that would be pretty cool to have Barkley give him a call and mention that 31 mil contract he just signed

Well there is certainly no way Barkley could be construed as a MSU booster.

The Emery news was devastating, but not surprising, to read upon my return from vacation. Living in New Orleans, I knew it was an issue when he postponed his announcement. The recruiting shows had him down here as a virtual lock for MSU with Georgia in the mix and lsu barely on the radar. Moorhead was selling him on the Barkley role. I hope it's not over, but this stings. I imagine the pressure is incredible coming from lsu locals. Nice new whip too, Emery...

I could imagine a situation where the local pressure is high & the kid just holds off from committing & signs with us on signing day, thus eliminating the local pressure

No, but I believe he will soon...and it won't be MSU.

Love your optimistic attitude. Do you have first hand knowledge on this, and if so, please advise as to how you are so certain he won't sign with MSU.

It's just being realistic. Steve Robertson reported it, so that's all anyone can go on unless they know people personally.

Still kind of ticked about that game. Should've beaten them and A&M that year and been 9-0 when Bama came to town.

Which would have set up another ?We Believe Part 2? ass Kicking by Bama.

And initially did not want until it was far too late in the process to land them
Which is is what you said. Never mind.

And if it’s not MSU it won’t be over.
And if it’s not UGA it won’t be over.
And if it’s not LSU it won’t be over.

Well I guess that's about all Ari's Got to Say About That. Not much left of that story.
