I dont keep up with recruiting like most here do and I had never heard of Will Rogers. Looking at his film, he is certainly a pro style passer. Very nice touch on deep balls. And decently strong arm on intermediate routes. Looked like he only ran mostly near goal line. Doesn't look real fast, but fast enough to pick up first downs when needed. I do like his quick release....not a big wind up like Tyler Russell had. That will be important when you only have 2-3 seconds against a BAMA rush. He will require good OL protection, IMO, as he doesn't look like scrambler able to avoid vicious defensive rushes. Looks like a good pickup to me. What does everyone else know about him that have seen him play a lot?

My thought on Rogers is to wait and see what happens if/when OM offers him. It's also still probably a 2 QB class regardless of if he sticks or not

[somebodyshotmypaw]

I believe Montra Edwards is at the school where Coach34 now coaches. Is that correct?

Is E. Jai Mason the wideout that was at Jackson Academy? Maybe he transferred to Clinton?

[MetEdDawg]

E Jai Mason is a 4 star according to 24/7.

On the QB front, we are going to go hard at Ashford. I've seen him play a bunch of times and he's got dual sport potential. I've called pitches against that kid and even though he's a raw baseball player he's got a ton of talent.

Kid is a good QB that needs polishing, but he's a dang good athlete. We've got one really big thing working for us with him. Auburn and Alabama have their QBs of the future that will be there for the next 4 years. Ashford probably isn't going to go in state because of that, so we have a decent chance to make some in roads with him.

Correct on both.

[hacker]

So we've already got 4 WRs committed and likely will add another in Malik Heath.

[Cary Hudson's little bro]

Paul has said to look out for QB Malik Hornsby (https://247sports.com/Player/Malik-Hornsby-46037405/)in the past. A&M CB's from last summer. We're 3rd for Robby Ashford (https://247sports.com/player/robby-ashford-46043143/)

Paul has said repeatedly that we're signing 2 QB's this year - I don't get the logic behind that. 1 per year makes a lot more sense in today's world...

Ty Keyes (https://247sports.com/player/ty-keyes-46050925/)is a 2021 QB top target. He'll be 6-3 200 by senior year.

[Cary Hudson's little bro]

So we've already got 4 WRs committed and likely will add another in Malik Heath.

But none of them are true X WR. Heath could be that guy. Patterson may not make it to campus.

[msstate7]

Griffin is a home town guy. I'll watch him a lot this year. He can fly

Ashford is likely AU bound.

[sscjr1]

Can we please just take Chris Tyree off of the list? If we follow the pattern from last year, we'll chase him all the way to the end and lose a 4* that wanted to be here in the process.

[ShotgunDawg]

Ashford is likely AU bound.

We just don't seem to be getting much traction in Alabama right now.

The Mississippi kids appear to be way more interested in Alabama schools than vice versa

He's gone anyway. He was Huff's guy.

I can lie to you if you want me to. Just telling you guys the truth. Keyes in 2021 is heavy our way. There?s your positive.

[NCDawg]

Ashford is likely AU bound.

Figures. After yesterday, I'm sick of recruiting.

[Cooterpoot]

If that staff turns over, maybe we get some kind of shot. But he’s known to be an AU lean.

What's negative about discussing a real, actual trend in our recruiting right now?

Don't you figure it's important to have a presence in Alabama since they are in our recruiting foot print and Mississippi doesn't produce 25 SEC caliber players?

Under Mullen and with Collins, we got good players out of Bama. Benny, DeRunnya, Errol, Mixon, etc but we don't seem to have as much traction there right now and I'm not sure why.

Not being negative. Just bringing up worthy topics.

[MetEdDawg]

Ashford is likely AU bound.

If he does that he will never play. Hoover has connections to Auburn but those proved meaningless with Pickens yesterday.

Nix is their QB for the next 4 years. Ashford never plays if he goes there.

[Irondawg]

So we've already got 4 WRs committed and likely will add another in Malik Heath.

Anderson-Butts looks much better at safety in his videos. I'm hopeful that's where we are recruiting him to play

[Cooterpoot]

If he does that he will never play. Hoover has connections to Auburn but those proved meaningless with Pickens yesterday.

Nix is their QB for the next 4 years. Ashford never plays if he goes there.

Agree but he could play another position. We'll see. He was really on the AU wagon though.

[Ari Gold]

I'd rather honesty than someone selling us dreams

How bout until the kid takes us off his top 10 or top 5 we leave him on there... the odds we got him with Huff here were less than 50% anyway.. and maybe the kid really likes Coach Richardson . ISID just making a pint that we don’t have to ****ing bitch about everything .. or as you see it Ari Gold said that.

[ScoobaDawg]

E Jai Mason is a 4 star according to 24/7.



Fixed. thanks

Almost half of this years signing class was from out of state. Which includes 2 Four Star players. Yet we don’t have traction ???

Alabama recruiting the last 7 years. So again how are we losing traction?

I’m not trying to be an ass or pump sunshine 24/7 it’s just some of you need to not just hit the brakes but pull the emergency break with the ****ing negative shit. We get it

[Ari Gold]

I will tomorrow.

I will try and get a handful of names as well. I’m sure they will all be pipedream prospects... ***

None of those kids had committable offers from AU or Bama, or at least not until it was too late.

Our best chance at a kid from AL is that he is ranked as a high 3 star/low 4 star and AU/Bama don't have room. These kids can turn into great players, like the one's you mentioned earlier, but us grabbing an elite guy out of Bama just isn't gonna happen until we win more and hasn't happened under anyone's watch I can remember. We signed Duncan and Weatherspoon (and almost DJ James) this year. I don't see why this is "news" to you.

Ashford is wanted by virtually every school in the country. He is a top 150 player nationally and top 5 in AL.

It's like you don't understand that Alabama and Auburn are better programs than State.

True and over 90% of our signees hail from an area within a 300 mile radius of campus.....proximity is huge

Smallest recruiting footprint in America.

We're like Poland in WW2. The two greatest European European power on our West & Eastern boarders

Nice analogy! So damn true!

[ScoobaDawg]

So now that I've looked over some things... whats the early word on McKinnley Jackson?
If there's ever a position we should be able to say... look. come here and we can turn you into a monster top 10 first rounder... it's DT.
Of course Bama did just hire Baker away from us damnit...

Need to get him to campus this spring and summer ... and just guessing unless he is a EE expect him to sign in Feb.

He’s definitely not an EE.

Since he isn’t a EE, it probably best that 90% of posters on here need to steer clear of this recruitment ..

I just saw Dylan Lawrence went to school with him. Well. that's something. He was on campus for the TAM game in Oct. Hopefully we can get him back soon.

In no way does that surprise me.
Well.. we will likely know by the Summer.

Moving on..

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Robby Ashford is likely UGA bound. Look for Brendon Lewis as the 2nd QB. He's probably the top QB target.

I'd hold up on that. Bama is going to be the one to beat but I'm not ready to say not coming. Lot of Bama pull down there though.

At some point, we have to win our own damn state, if we are going to take the next step as a program.

[Cooterpoot]

At some point, we have to win our own damn state, if we are going to take the next step as a program.

That southeastern part of the state is a bunch of Bama bandwagoners. It's like the SW part of the state and LSU. Bama has been in down there a lot this year too. Coach is a State guy, so maybe that helps a little.

[msstate7]

At some point, we have to win our own damn state, if we are going to take the next step as a program.

OM is about to crank it up full speed ahead and the blue bloods have gotten a foothold lately. It'll be really hard to take enough of the state's top talent to take next step. I think concentrating on assistants that are really good developers is the way to go and RS, RS, RS. Offset talent with technique and experience

[BuckyIsAB****]

My thought on Rogers is to wait and see what happens if/when OM offers him. It's also still probably a 2 QB class regardless of if he sticks or not

If OM offered him today he'd tell them to piss off

[BuckyIsAB****]

Best QB in the state for 2020. As good as he is on the field he has better intangibles. Great leader and great kid. But will take no shit from anyone.

This is the best recruiting staff we have ever put together. All we need to do is get Pat Austin back to top it off if we dont he may end up working for the enemy

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Yep Jaden is a 2020 kid & his brother is 2021. The 2020 instate class is deeper than people 1st projected. It's nowhere the star power of 2019 but it's going to be good.

[ScoobaDawg]

Yes it will be a lot deeper than most think .. Again this tome last year Charles cross was an unknown basically.. there won’t be that big of a surprise but there will be more and more guys once the summer camps come around

[ScoobaDawg]

When do the unranked usually get ranked. June, July? Not expecting a bunch to jump up to 4 stars or anything.. just wondered.

[SilentSteel16]

I know this is for 2020 but there is a RB at NWRankin named PJ Lindsay. He needs to be checked out and contacted. I am not a coach or cheerleader for him but I can tell you that kid is going to be special. Write it down.

I have no idea what happened Im sure somebody on the board does

[BuckyIsAB****]

He had some big games this year for them. Got overshadowed by Jdub and 23 the fast kid who went to USM but he had 13 or so TDs this past year. He is pretty good

[Ifyouonlyknew]

He is 2021 I believe

He's 2020

Yes he is. He coulda been a heckuva cf if he wanted to stick with baseball. Quick bat, little pop and can fly. Yeah he can cover some ground and be a heckuva db. Very intelligent young man too and takes coaching well.

There’s a lot of marginal kids this round. They’re going to need big camps and seasons.

[ShotgunDawg]

I prefer guys blowing up in the Summer rather than being well known beforehand. Since we'll likely find out about it first, it gives us a chance to establish the relationship first.

You’re correct that’s a solid evaluation of his baseball talent, he could be very special in CF.

Shotgun...IMO it has to do with the way the negative is presented. Your post below is a good example to me. You?re discussing a topic of importance in a manner that is not ?woe is us?.

Eeyore seems to post here a lot. Example. Oh great. My shoe is still untied. I?ll probably fall again....just like yesterday and the day before.

Instead of that , how about.....Well crap. My shoe is untied. How do I fix that. I think I?ll tie that shoe!

To his credit he does ask how to fix particular things. He also posts just as many that are whiny and like you said "woe is us". As if we are just entitled to whatever we like or we are a blue blood all of a sudden and how it just isn't fair. Yeah it's not a level playing field. This isn't necessarily new. Nobody likes it.

But a lot of it is just as much in mine and your control as it is his. So his frustration and whininess is just misdirected. Sounding off and arguing meaningless points on ED and casting shade upon MSU as he does it intentionally or not, is his schtick even if he doesn't realize it's a schtick.

I don't cast shade on MSU. Quite the opposite really. I believe MSU is capable of much greater than what we've traditionally achieved. It's the sunshine pumpers that are IMO the most negative. They're the ones that believe in be limits of MSU and thus want everyone to just be satisfied with mediocrity

Is that you Rosebowl?

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

A state that I wish we would spend some time in is Georgia. I know everybody recruits there, but if we could pull 2 a year it would be good. Georgia signed 5 of the top 40 or something like that. I’m trying to remember the assistant coach we had who recruited the hell out of Georgia every year. We got some of our best players from there for a while.

Banks Jr Highlights

What's your evaluation?

Does he remind you of anyone and does he help with the other big time Olive Branch kid?

[ShotgunDawg]

Size and weight look similar to Errol

[msbulldog]

Real good foot speed and play recognition.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Size and weight look similar to Errol

He's the closest comparison. Not quite the thumper but he's longer & taller than Erroll. Comes from an athletic family his brother plays at Louisville. Very solid get. He is close to Xavier Hill & Cameron Threatt.

[msbulldog]

no wonder I couldn't find him, I spelled his name Javon like Gun. 6'2" 235 #649 nationally 54 by position #10 in-state, Great pick-up.

[chef dixon]

Seems like a kid that could get some more hype in the next year

[bulldawg28]

Here’s another 2019 potential....I suppose you could call it that. Mixon may not leave after all. Thinking about staying now.

Great news if true. In the slot he's a threat every play. Wasn't there word Couch was coming back as well?

[msbulldog]

Couch is enrolled at ETSU!

[ZedFedder]

Very impressed with Joe’s recruiting of this class so far. I think it will be interesting to see what he does with a full recruiting calendar now.

[msbulldog]

We have jumped from 23rd to 19th in 247 composite today. And that is with only 4 of our 8 total recruits currently ranked.

[msstate7]

Definetely like the start to this class. Speaking of good starts to 2020, check out LSU... they 9 commits (8 4-star, 1 5-star). Of the 9, 5 are OOS including the 5-star. O doing work

[ShotgunDawg]

I'll bet you $200 we finish between 18th-26th in the recruiting rankings.

Not need to even keep up with them after this year. We already know the outcome.

We'll put together a solid, 8-4 type class & whether or not we finish 18th or 26th will depend on one player. This year it was Charles Moore & next year it'll be someone else

No bet Gun, that's the range of our recent historical average. Maybe we will come out on the on the good end of players that go down to the last minute. Moore this year was an anomaly, we have been on the good end recently note:
Cris Jones
J. Simmons
Lovett.

Zihenryon Perry

Hopefully our staff stays intact and we have some continuity there and Joe can stay focused on recruits instead of replacing coaches while coming down the stretch. If Shoop has another good year I will be fearful of keeping him. Cohen better step up. Also hope our new coaches are good at coaching because right now they are mostly touted as recruiters.

I think this had very little to do with our last class. What we should have done is focus more on in state prospects instead of chasing out of state 3 stars waiting for their in state schools to offer. And based on this current class it looks like we are doing just that. The biggest thing that hurt our ranking IMO was Charles Moore flaking out. At least from a recruiting rankings standpoint.

If that's the case isnt it better just to show up in December & February & see who signed? If you can't get excited about a recruit seems the logical thing would be not to follow recruiting until the names are on the papers.

Our program is heading in the right direction, although it feels painfully slow.

We tend to only look at one year of recruiting data, but the truth is that our recruiting has become much more consistent. We used to have wide swings from 40th in recruiting to 18th, but now we've really settled into the top 25 of recruiting year in & year out.

What does that lead to?

By my count we lose 4 4+ star recruits off the 2018 roster, but bring in 6 more, according to 247

Thus, on paper we will have 24 4 & 5 star recruits on the roster next year, which will be a record for MSU since such records have existed.

We may not have Bama talent, but we are slowly adding enough talent to the roster to believe that with continued growth, at some point in the next 5-10 years, we'll have a team where mostly only 4 & 5 star recruits play in the game.

Think about it.

*Cam Dantzler is our worst rated DB by far (.8365) which shows how little this probably matters.



^^^THIS^^^

At a certain, general level, recruiting ranks matters. Overt time, teams tend to be something like what their recruiting rankings say, but there is a lot of uncertainty. We took Calhoun with a last second scholly offer. Can't remember the Bama DB (maybe something like Arenas?) that Saban took at the last second that Croom wouldn't even offer. Nick James was a specimen that Mullen said was on par with Tebow and Percy Harvin (I think those were the two) as far as just freak athletic ability. It's pretty safe to say Bama kicked our ass in recruiting. You can't say with any certainty who did better between us, Arky, and Ole Miss. I'm not even sure I'd bet money that Auburn out recruited us. People just don't know shit outside of a few can't misses.

Jevon Banks is a Big LB could play MLB or OLB or he could continue to grow & play DE. He's a very solid player & he's also tight with Xavier Hill & Cameron Threatt, 2 guys we're on very hard. His brother was a P5 prospect (currently at Louisville) so his family has been through the recruitment process before. The family also has a high opinion of MSU. His sister graduated from MSU.

Emmanuel Forbes is a kid I really like. He's just an athlete & playmaker. We're recruiting him as a CB & he's built pretty much exactly like Cam Dantzler was coming out of HS. He has an extremely high ceiling. This whole recruiting scene is new to him so we'll have to hold on when other offers start coming in. I'd always rather try to hold on to a kid than chasing or trying to flip.

I agree. I like that we have E. Jai Mason and Tulu committed already. And there appear to be a lot of LB's in state that like us. Looks like we'll have to go out of state unless the Mississippi version of Lee Witherspoon emerges this year.

Hes not near as thick or as polished as Vick was when he got here but he is faster. Idk if he can catch or not but he would be a weapon out of the backfield if he can

I agree and of course Vick was a junior when he got here. I expect Witherspoon to redshirt and bulk up and play at 210-215 by the time 2020 is here.

I know Huff was going after some out of state 4-5 star guys but with our new coach I'm not sure who are targets are.

Ideally for us there would be a Kylin Hill-esque type talent in the 2020 class in the state of Mississippi but I don't know of anyone that fits that profile.

20lbs seems pretty reasonable. 30 lbs seems like it'd be hard to do at 5'10 without sacrificing some speed agility. But I don't really have anything to base that on other than I would had had trouble putting 30 lbs of muscle on after my senior year of high school without losing speed.

How much weight did Perkins gain when he was here? It seemed to cost him a step by the end although I think he also battled some ankle injuries that might have had more to do with it?

And yes we are very much in the game for Marks.. again give Coach Rich some time he has a lot of contacts and relationships built .. Another example of why its a MUST to have a few coaches on the staff that arent Mississippi lifers ..

Unless I missed it before. Alex Adams just got ranked.... 3* bumped us back up to #13 for the moment.

Leaving it alone got it locked..and not by me.

This is a thread for discussing football recruiting. and no it doesn't have to always be positive..and it won't always be.

I know it is super early, but just for conversational purposes, any names from out of state that have some early buzz? Obviously the RB, but anyone else?

He also just picked up an offer from LSU.

[Cooterpoot]

But our coaches and IYOK know nothing and he’s not impressive. LOL!
We loading up on WRs and if we pull Marks and Banks we’ve filled our thin spots. DB is getting covered too. Just got to sign them up.

Xavier Hill, Olive Branch O lineman, just received and offer from Bama

So did Janari Dean a safety prospect from South Panola that we have a decent chance of getting.

On 247 he is rated 89. Which is the lowest 4* rating. The composite has him at 87+, I think.

You can?t get an offer from LSU and stay unranked I suppose

Would be nice to sign a plug and play LB bc we are going to need one in 2020

Saw where Ole Miss got a commit from Brian Buckhaulter. He will be a top player in the 21 class in state.

My bad. Thanks.

After watching and asking around a little bit, Adams is one of the fastest players in the state. He will blow up this summer in 7 on 7
