2024 MSU FOOTBALL RECRUITING

[ZedFedder]

Bout to blow up the recruiting trail

Who else you hearing?

[Cowbell]

3 commits in one day (2 four stars) and this board is almost quiet 😂 ...it's no fun if you can't complain***

[KOdawg1]

Beavers to OM

Yeah, this staff sucks rn

This staff no longer sucks.

Kudos to them for getting shit done

[BankerDog]

I love the Tuscaloosa pick up. Long and rangy-fits the mold we established with Banks that has continued with Emerson and Forbes and Banks/Richardson this year.

[ZedFedder]

Steve said the other day that we had waited to really make a push on some guys. I thought he was just trying to tow the company line. It seems he may have been right, though. We still aren?t going to get everyone, but I think we are in a much better spot than we thought.

[Commercecomet24]

Im hearing the same. Looks like some people just needed a little patience.

Yes, this!

[DEDawg]

3 commits in one day (2 four stars) and this board is almost quiet 😂 ...it's no fun if you can't complain***
Nice! Can we get names?

[MetEdDawg]

Banks was showing as committed last night but is no longer showing as committed.

Any insight on that?

[Goldendawg]

Luke Work commits, OT 6'6 285, Lausanne Collegiate school, Memphis, Tennessee. He is a lifetime state fan. His other sec offer is MO. There is a free article on genespage.

[Goldendawg]

Banks was showing as committed last night but is no longer showing as committed.

Any insight on that?

He has moved from committed to favorite.

[Tripp McNeely]

Banks was showing as committed last night but is no longer showing as committed.

Any insight on that?

He's committed. He just wants to have a date where he officially announces it around family, etc. So, the mods on those sites are giving him his day

[Commercecomet24]

He has moved from committed to favorite.

Don't worry about Banks, he's in.

[Cooterpoot]

I hear ya!

[ZedFedder]

Steve put in a flip crystal ball for JJ Harrell.

We'll have some more in the boat in the near future.

Recruiting in the NIL era is interesting. I'm glad they're figuring it out. Or whatever their plan was.

Odd that Ole Miss had so many in state guys commit so early. Not sure if they're speculating who we might add or what the deal is there. While in the meantime we're having big camp commitments.

I think the biggest thing IMO is getting Daniels to flip. Plus we need to clean out the state with the class of 2025. If we can do those two things I think we will be in really good shape talent wise. We have an elite QB prospect in Parson. And if we can pair him with Daniels who is an elite RB prospect, and add in multiple four star receiver prospects from the 2024 and 2025 class that should be a really talented offensive group. It looks like our o-line prospects are good too in terms of numbers unlike when Hevesy was here. I'm not worried about stars with offensive linemen because they're all projects unless they are freak shows like Charles Cross.

It looks like we're recruiting like we typically do on defense. For the 2023 class I think we added some solid guys that we can redshirt and develop for the most part although Isaac Smith may play as a freshman. I really like Kelley Jones. Just need to add some four star guys on this side of the ball for 2024 and 2025 and that should give us some good depth down the road.

[Offshore Dawg]

Some recruits are probably waiting to see what State puts on the field this fall. Especially how the offense looks.

[BankerDog]

Does anyone know the story on Daniel Hill and the Brown kid, OL from Bay St Louis?

[KOdawg1]

Does anyone know the story on Daniel Hill and the Brown kid, OL from Bay St Louis?

Don't seem to be pushing hard for either rn

[msu15]

Don't seem to be pushing hard for either rn

That would be a major mistake with Hill

[BigDawg81]

Does anyone know the story on Daniel Hill and the Brown kid, OL from Bay St Louis? State is in Hill?s top 8 and he claims that he is a State fan. I think he is a South Carolina lean. We will see happens to him.

[Goldendawg]

Does anyone know the story on Daniel Hill and the Brown kid, OL from Bay St Louis?

According to 24/7, the OL is a four star but biggest offer to date is from Cincy. His interview regarding his recent camp at State is a paid article. He only weighs 250, but that can be fixed with training table and weight room. I know nothing but his 24/7 profile.

[ZedFedder]

Fred Clark is a dawg.

JJ Harrell
JJ & Stonka are a package deal. If State gets one then State gets the other.

[Cowbell]

Where is KB? Wondering what miracle turnaround we have had to recruiting

[ZedFedder]

Yeah, KB has gone radio silent.

[ZedFedder]

JJ Harrell has decommitted from Tennessee.

[msu15]

JJ & Stonka are a package deal. If State gets one then State gets the other.

Mannnnnnnn, don't tease

[Commercecomet24]

JJ Harrell has decommitted from Tennessee.

😎

[Cowbell]

Boys - arnette is the real deal. I seriously believe he could be our Mike Gundy/Dabo Swinney. I'm not saying he's gonna win a title but times are about to be fun again. And he ain't gonna be lookin for greener grass.

When you have someone who is as intense a competitor as Arnette he's gonna figure out a way to get it done!

[Cowbell]

These guys are excited to play for him. The mentality we have had on defense now encompasses our entire team and it's showing.

And then the stuff about him picking up trash after the camp...attitude reflects leadership

[Bothrops]

I love the instate WRs too

[Tater]

Sorry but I'm already out on him because he didn't have a top 10 class committed before holding his first camp. I'm already searching the coaching transfer portal for in two years when we've not won the Super Bowl three times already. Bill Belichek may be available to be the DC but idk if his resume is good enough. He hasn't even won Super Bowls at a 50% clip as a HC. Andy Reid would be a viable choice for OC if he repeats his out put from this year the next two years. Id be interested to give him a short leash there. Then for HC we gotta hope that Andy Cannizaro hasn't been scooped up. We need a real recruiter heading the ship and his one year of full recruiting cycle showed me he's the perfect man we could hope for.

[BigDawg81]

Does anyone know the story on Daniel Hill and the Brown kid, OL from Bay St Louis?
Also, I?m hearing that Beavers isn?t fully committed to Ole Miss. It is something to monitor

[ZedFedder]

Two observations from someone who is definitely not in the know and just follows recruiting passively.

1. Because of NIL, you are going to see early and quick commits. You have a junior in HS on a visit and they get told they have a $50k deal when their parent doesn?t even make that in a year? Yeah, they?re going to commit.

2. But, I think this will also lead to more decommits later. Other teams are going to match or exceed those early offers, and kids are going to reevaluate moreso based on the schools they actually feel best at. I think that?s exactly what happened with Fred ?Fat? Clark.

I say all this to say, I think our coaches are doing it right. They lost out on guys early probably because we weren?t about to put $ on the table without the kid and the coaches knowing each other better. Once that is established and we know we want the kid, then you move forward.

Again, a lot of this is speculation but it seems we overshot in worrying early. Sure, we may lose a guy or two as well, but I think we have been shown we can trust the staff pretty well.

Well, he wasn't hired by Cohen as HC so he's at least got that going for him.

[MetEdDawg]

Anyone know anything about this TE commit? Rayfield Lotten? Unranked and shows only an offer from Florida State a year ago. 6' 6" and there's nothing else on the profile.

I'm assuming walk on but that's odd with him showing an FSU offer.

[msu15]

Yep if I recall correctly on a recent boneyard, Steve said he's walking on for this season.

[Goldendawg]

New commit this morning: Xavier Gayten from Brookhaven, Athlete, not yet ranked, 6' 0", listed from 160 to 190 depending on where you look. Ran for over 1500 yards last year. Ran a true 4.41 at our camp and excels in track also. Projected as a S or RB. Steve says will blow up as year goes on. Offers from OM and USM. Wants to go to vet school. Good take. Hail State! (2 Free article about him on genespage).

(Noted on sixpack and genespage much earlier today, as this site is crickets).

Paul Jones also says he's going to be a safety. That would really help with our recruitments of Daniel Hill and Kahnen Daniels

[Cowbell]

It gets so quiet when the haters can't hate

[Tater]

Some food for thought on rankings.

Recruiting services have gotten noticeably worse and lazier on assigning stars to kids. They're more reactionary than proactive these days. If bama signs a 3 star, they signed a 4 star. If an sec school signs an unranked kid, they signed a 3 star.

It's worse than ever in "expert" prediction. So do your own due diligence if you want. Otherwise stars are largely meaningless.

[Todd4State]

Probably depends on if we get those two or not. But it's certainly possible.

[Cooterpoot]

I can say this, our coaches know just about every possible player in MS. You wouldn't believe the number of guys they're following that never get mention. Kids that are good but they need to see more of, kids they know are Juco bound but will follow, etc etc. There's a ton of "other" talent in MS right now. The kind Dan Mullen used to find routinely. Talent pool is really deep the next couple years.

I will say this staff is not letting any grass grow under their feet! Arnett is not gonna be outworked.

Love it, exactly how anyone on our staff has to be if we want to have the best chance at maintaining a successful program.

[Tripp McNeely]

So, Jimothy Lewis skipped Oxford today and decided to go to Starkvegas instead...David Johnson is "shocked" by this development...you gotta love recruiting!! 😂😂

[MrCoachKlein]

I will say this staff is not letting any grass grow under their feet! Arnett is not gonna be outworked.

I've always been more inclined towards the offensive hire, but I could not like the CZA hire any more than I do. He just seems like the perfect fit for an underdog team that consistently punches above its weight class. Everything about this dude is MSU and I don't think he'll run off for more prestige or a bit more $.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Arnett is more one of us than some of us are. Leach knew what he was doing

Actually him showing up to MSU's campus did surprise me.

[ZedFedder]

Actually him showing up to MSU's campus did surprise me.

Isn?t he originally from Jackson? I haven?t heard his name in a long time.

[Pancho]

He did supposedly go to oxfart yesterday

[msu15]

Arnett is more one of us than some of us are. Leach knew what he was doing

When I got to meet and talk with him at the Reliaquest I had the exact sentiment.

[Todd4State]

Isn?t he originally from Jackson? I haven?t heard his name in a long time.

He went to MRA at one point in time. Not sure if he lived in Madison or another part of Jackson.

[Cooterpoot]

Coaches too.

I can't think of a coach who doesn't like Arnett. The guy is straight up positive energy. He's honest with people and works his ass off. The staff is everywhere.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Barbay has impressed me so far too.

If people knew how big of an asshole Dan Mullen could be opinions would change

[StarkVegasSteve]

Barbay has impressed me so far too.

If people knew how big of an asshole Dan Mullen could be opinions would change

You mean to tell me there were people who thought Dan was not a complete ass??? Hell, I like Dan a lot and there has never been an ounce of doubt of how big of an asshole he was.

[AROB44]

Barbay has impressed me so far too.

If people knew how big of an asshole Dan Mullen could be opinions would change

Him being an asshole was just fine with me as long as he was winning. On that note, is there any prior coach in any sport, with the exception of JWS, that is not trashed on our message boards?

[BuckyIsAB****]

You have to be a hardass to win but you dont have to treat everyone who isnt you like they are blessed to be in your presence. Mullen is a good coach no doubt glad he was here but I wont say he was fun to be around or that he left the right way

[Offshore Dawg]

Yankee, but he was our damn Yankee.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Agreed. He is A LOT better to be around now than he was 6 years ago. And definitely night and day difference from the day he walked in the door in 2009.

[BuckyIsAB****]

The only reason I brought Mullen up was because these guys are just night and day compared to him to be around or have a conversation with

[Commercecomet24]

100% this!

Yes word is getting around. This staff is working their butts off!

[MetEdDawg]

New OL commit. Kison Shepard OL from Germantown

Anyone know anything on him? He's showing some very low level offers alongside some pretty high level offers. Not much in the middle.

[Offshore Dawg]

That will definitely ruin the narrative of some people 🙄

Buddy is a coach there. Says he has the legit size listed (6?5 315) and is athletic. Got some nasty to him too. Will need a lot of work on feet and technique. Good redshirt guy for us

Xavier Gayten commits on 6/7 as unranked.

Xavier Gayten is listed as 3* on 6/10.

As if recruiting stars needed less meaning.

I trust in this staff to find guys who embody the Mississippi State toughness while showing enough talent to compete in the SEC. As long as we have a full class, I don't care how many stupid stars rankings we get.

[Cowbell]

That GIF arnette posts will never get old. It's getting to be an every other day thing!

[Homedawg]

For those of you who were dogging our staff for offering the academy TE out of bama, can laugh at yourselves now. Bama offered him. I'm sure when he commits to them he will be a high 4 star. He is a freak. Hate bama offered. But part of it.

Wasn't even the best TE at camp. But he's better than the talk was.

Who was the best?

[MrCoachKlein]

Too many people look at stars by crap rating sites. Seeing offers from elite teams/coaches means more to me than a fake number ESPN puts on someone.

Yeah, I wish 247 would take them out of the composite. At least 247 and Rivals try a little bit.

[KOdawg1]

Looks like our private commit of two weeks is about to "flip" to Ole Miss. 4* safety from Tuscaloosa.

According to the OM people at least.

That'll sting.

[ZedFedder]

He just committed to OM. What a way to go from beloved future bulldog to public enemy number one haha! Guys like this usually don?t pan out. I?m not concerned.

[HancockCountyDog]

Thats fine - I expect a commitment from JJ Harrell any day now and the shitbirds think they have him wrapped up.

Does secret commits count toward Flipmas?

[maroonmania]

Sure he is a good player and hate that we lost him (assuming he does indeed sign with Ole Miss) but if he was a true difference maker and from Tuscaloosa wouldn't Saban have offered?

[KOdawg1]

Apparently committed to our staff two weeks ago, secretly visited OM yesterday, and flipped today.

Doubt a kid with that kind of character does much in life. History shows that kids who love recruiting games rarely amount to much. Not gonna freak out too much with this one.

[Pancho]

It's called Ca$h, folks. That is all.

[Tripp McNeely]

Sure he is a good player and hate that we lost him (assuming he does indeed sign with Ole Miss) but if he was a true difference maker and from Tuscaloosa wouldn't Saban have offered?

I wonder if it's a Willie Gay situation, where they offer him a certain amount just to verbally commit, then he signs with us in December and takes their money?

[BuckyIsAB****]

It's called Ca$h, folks. That is all.

Giving any player cash that has not done it on this level is stupid

[Tripp McNeely]

Rumor on the om board is that they paid that Simmons kid $1.5mm!!!

I call bs

[ZedFedder]

PJ Woodland committing tmrw.

[Tripp McNeely]

I call bs

I hope they did. Let them waste money on him and Howard because one of those 2 guys is not likely to be there in 2 years

[KOdawg1]

PJ Woodland committing tmrw.

Good get. He's probably not a take for LSU, but if he's good enough to get offered by them, Texas A&M, Texas, and others, the kid can play.

[msu15]

PJ commits

[ZedFedder]

Another commit incoming it seems.

[BigDawg81]

Another commit incoming it seems.sounds like Stonka Burnside

[confucius say]

sounds like Stonka Burnside

And Harrell?

[BigDawg81]

And Harrell? Package Deal? I think so.

[Homedawg]

Where is kb??? He get banned or just a chicken.

[MetEdDawg]

Harrell in.

Can't wait to see everyone come retract their statements about Bumphis being a bad hire when Harrell specifically mentions him being an MS guy and knowing where Harrell came from.

[Cooterpoot]

Just checking in on recruiting lol

[Leroy Jenkins]

This staff can't 'croo...

Stonka Burnside commits

[Jarius]

Just remember that we got rid of the best offensive coaching staff we have ever had to hire guys who were going to lock down this state.

We sure did, bitch.

[MetEdDawg]

We sure did, bitch.

This guy keeps receipts. I like it

[Offshore Dawg]

He who gets the last laugh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! smiles the most.

[Homedawg]

Paging KB. Even better is what wr would want to play here?? Pretty close to what he said. I expect him to respond to this like he did about taking up my offer to meet Will friend

[Cowbell]

Homedawg when's the last time we had a day like this?!

[Cowbell]

Looks like we got a tight end today too. The Washington kid - is he the kid that blew everyone away at camp?

[Homedawg]

Homedawg when's the last time we had a day like this?!

I can't remember. Maybe one day w Dan at a camp??? Maybe. Almost had one more.

[DEDawg]

Lets goooooo

[Bothrops]

I can't remember. Maybe one day w Dan at a camp??? Maybe. Almost had one more.

Dan had a day like this I wanna say 11-12 years ago now. One of them was a WR that Ole Miss later flipped and barely ever played. Can't remember his name but it was like three 4 star guys that jumped in that day. Maybe one signed with us.

[msu15]

2014 big dawg camp is the only one close. Had like 7-8 guys commit that night, couple of 4 stars(Jamal Peters and Nick Gibson maybe?), and Leo Lewis decomitted from Ole Miss.

[civildawg]

Any info on the Bama TE? Figured he would have flipped to Bama already or is Bama just keeping him warm?

[Westdawg]

I?m outta the loop lately with personal stuff.

Who committed this week? And something about a TE that Bama is after??
No ** , I?m legit asking and I?m not going back 3-5 pages to find out lol

[Tater]

I?m outta the loop lately with personal stuff.

4* WR JJ Harrell. 4* ATH/WR Braylon Burnside. 4* ATH/CB PJ Woodland.

We're now #20 in the nation at 13 total commits. So even the crowd who cares about stars should be appeased.

[Cowbell]

I can't remember. Maybe one day w Dan at a camp??? Maybe. Almost had one more.

I think we have a shot at another one in the next couple days

[KOdawg1]

Bumphis has his work cut out for him. Needs to flip White and Harrell.

I'm afraid he may be the WR version of T-Buck.

Wonder if you still feel this way?

[Tater]

The concern with Bumphis is that he was brought here to help ?lock down the State of MS? with his ?connections? and name ability. That?s what was sold when we hired him. Now three of the top WR prospects in the state are committed to Tenn, Ark, and OM. OM is also now favored for the DL out of the Coast-meanwhile we are suppose to be the premier DL school in the southeast. What gives?

Top two WRs in the state are committed to state.

[Tater]

Well, we decided to go with an offensive style that requires elite, NFL talent at the skill positions to have any success, and we have yet to recruit a single potential NFL talent at WR or RB.

We haven't played a down of football since this post and it's been proven wrong.

[Tater]

We're just getting flat out recruited right now.

We're ahead of both Alabama and Ole Miss now.

[Tater]

Zach is just getting absolutely bent over by Lane right now. Welcome to the big chair.

Is he?

[Tater]

We will have to see what happens in the end but you can?t say anything other than that this is disappointing.

You could say it's early. It still is. But lol.

[Tater]

Bout to blow up the recruiting trail

This guy knew what he was talking bout. Have some rep coot.

[Tater]

3 commits in one day (2 four stars) and this board is almost quiet 😂 ...it's no fun if you can't complain***

You've heard of 3 commits with 2 of them 4*s in one day, but have you heard of 3 commits with all 3 of them four stars in one day?

[BankerDog]

Top two WRs in the state are committed to state.

Just as everyone was saying not to overreact, I?ll say get them signed. Good job getting back Harrell though. Need to get them signed though.

[Todd4State]

Wonder if you still feel this way?

No I don't feel that way anymore. As I said at that time he had his work cut out for him which was true and to his credit he has gotten the recruits he needed to land.

Credit where credit is due.

The biggest surprise to me in hindsight is how it appears that NIL has affected recruiting. Looks to me like Ole Miss has used a strategy of pay to commit early and build early momentum while we have better overall recruiters at the end of the day which seem to building better relationships with the players. Not sure if this is going to be the norm going forward or if it was just simply us having a mostly new staff whereas Ole Miss had a more intact staff and we just simply made up ground.

At the end of the day if we get the best players we can we will be in good shape going forward.

[Cooterpoot]

We aren't done. I feel like we've got a good shot at at least two or three more 4 star guys. Not saying we get them all, but a shot.

Do you think we might could get some of these kids that have early committed out of state? I can't help but think yesterday may have helped us tremendously in that area. I think 8 of the Top 20 in state are committed out of state and with a deep class like this it would be nice to get a few more to stay with us.

[Joebob]

Just as everyone was saying not to overreact, I?ll say get them signed. Good job getting back Harrell though. Need to get them signed though.

Yeah, we can't really celebrate until they're signed, but at least we're on the right side of things right now. If we're getting these commits because of the relationships that the coaches are building with the kids, I've got to think that we've got an excellent chance at keeping most of them.

I think Daniels is still in play. Better than I thought. Decent with Beavers and White too. A couple of those have some things to sort through. I've got faith in Arnett and the staff to get some things done.

I agree. I also think he was misused offensively. We'll see what the new Coach from Petal does with him(though as of this typing, Daniel is our quarterback because we don't have anybody else, only 8 freaking seniors on the team).

This is the most drastic recruiting turnaround I've ever seen. I know it's a long way to go but we've gone from like two commits to start May to a top 20 class on 247 right now.

[Todd4State]

And if we do get a top 20 class and stack it with another top 20 class from the 2025 recruits plus add in Parson at QB we could be looking at a 1999 or 2014 type season in the near future.

Shows as unranked on the composite so he actually brought our average down.

Fun times. Can't wait for the expert rankings to give him a high 3* because he committed to an SEC school. Kid's film is phenomenal and measurables are there. Haven't researched enough of the talent he was going against, but if it's halfway decent then it could be a late riser commit that we'll have to work to fend off some serious offers.

247 is the only service to rank him. They have him ranked as a 88 which is a high 3*. Rivals and ESPN will have him ranked after more film comes out. The staff jump on him early cause they believe his is going to blow up. See Jonathan Davis from last year

[SilentSteel16]

You all do know that these rankings are only on the kids that go to these camps right? If a kid is top 10 it does not mean top 10 nationally. It literally means top 10 of 247 camp attendees. Don?t get hung up on the star rankings, there are tons of NFL talent guys who never received a star because they never went to ratings camps.

Incorrect

[SilentSteel16]

Yes it is correct. 247 rankings come from camp rankings whether that be 247, Rivals, Scout etc..no exposure camps usually mean No rankings. You can get rankings off of offers alone but that normally doesn’t happen. You get offers by attending Big Dawg camp or the equivalent at other schools. Star raters are not normally at those type camps. Money grab…..

[SilentSteel16]

My nephew is going through this process as we speak. He was literally told ?if you want a star ranking, you have to go to this camp at this time.?

[SilentSteel16]

247 does a composite of either their own camps or the ratings from about 2-3 other sources/camps. If a kid does not attend an exposure camp early on, he does not normally get seen by people who rate stars. So yes, you have to attend certain events or have someone very well connected in your corner.

[Tater]

247 is the only service to rank him. They have him ranked as a 88 which is a high 3*. Rivals and ESPN will have him ranked after more film comes out. The staff jump on him early cause they believe his is going to blow up. See Jonathan Davis from last year

Rivals has now already ranked him and state jumped Ole Miss in the overall rankings cause of it.

Next is on3 and espn to do the same. Like I said though, these guys typically just see SEC commit and blanket 3*. Carter's film looks like a high 4* to me. He's got a huge ceiling imo.

[Ari Gold]

Carter won’t be a 3 star when the updated rankings come out before signing day

[Cooterpoot]

If Turner is happier than a teenage girl dating the QB, then Carter has a chance to be great. Turner was a huge get for the staff. Good as it gets.

Woodard ranked .88 which moved us back up yo #27 with all 16 commits now ranked at an average player ranking of .8831. There are 7 teams ahead of us with a lower player average ranking & most of them have many more commits than us. If we can keep current commits and finish strong we can have a Top 25 class. I admire the hard work of our staff thus far and trust their decisions in this crazy NIL/Portal "student athlete" world. Long way to December and I expect recruiting to get really NIL $ bad until signing day. Hail State!

My issue with this thought that ratings are trash, is that if they were true then why do the top dogs continue to win. We cannot say on one hand ratings dont matter and then on the other hand make the comments about the bamas of the world get all the talent and thats why they always win.

I feel like more often than not ratings are pretty accurate. If they werent bama, Georgia, Ohio State etc. they wouldnt basically cream their entire schedule ever year.

Its a poor argument. It does have some truth behind it because MS kids historically ARE underrated and that is our biggest pool, but yeah just straight up saying stars dont matter is silly.

[MrCoachKlein]

MS kids are underrated a bit. Dismissing rankings is nonsense.

"Put simply, to win the national championship, college football teams need to sign more four- and five-star recruits (AKA ?Blue Chips?) than two- and three-star players over the previous four recruiting classes.

This has been true basically as far back as modern internet recruiting rankings have existed."

https://247sports.com/article/blue-chip-ratio-2023-college-football-16-teams-who-can-actually--211217111/

ETA: it's a tool like any other. If over half your roster isn't 4-5* then you have no chance for a title. The rankings are wrong at times, but we're arguing over a high 3 vs 4. In my opinion it's a good tool to gauge team talent level. Someone said it earlier, top 10-15 are elite and 15-40 are a lot closer than #20 is to #5.

[Tater]

247 used to be predictive but now it's just lazy. The assumption is that whoever Bama / Georgia /A&M buy must be worth it. The reality is that they may not be.

More often than not they're gonna hit on their recruits because Bama typically does good scouting. 247 just ain't got the man power to keep up. So they take the lazy route.

Exactly. And no one can say that Mississippi kids are underrated when they're rated four stars out of the gate and then all of a sudden in the offseason they're dropped to a three star.

[Goldendawg]

I agree with everything y'all have posted regarding clickbait for competing schools with larger fan bases, wanting more subscribers from them, MS players being under rated and rerated if they commit to us. I am not a star chaser. I just report here what I have read on 24/7 (free articles), but you can't tell me our commits don't follow and know when they are dropped from a 4 star to a high three and how happy most of our fans are to finish in the top 25 or so as we usually do. This is unfair to MSU and all involved. Rant over. Now, my connected source tells me probably no new commits until end of month cookout. Any of you guys got any insight, news or even rumors? Sure would like to flip a couple of guys committed to Arky or a DL going OOS. Hail State!

It is not the 4 stars. The criminal under ranking is a kid who is an 83 at a tiny school with no film is really an 88. That happens ALL the time

Yep, two things can be true at once.

The top 5 to 10 rated classes can be loaded with talent compared to the rest of us.

Immediately moving a kid's rating up b/c he committed to a certain school and immediately moving a kid's rating down b/c he committed to a certain kid can still happen and still be total BS.

Both of these things can be true at the same time.

Of course stars and class rankings matter. But maybe not so much past the top 10 or 15 classes. We end up around 30th in recruiting every year, and then the media folks always predict us to finish near the bottom of the SEC and cite our "lack of talent". Then, they're surprised those years we finish inside of the top 20 on the actual field. Then we do it all over again. No one is claiming our classes would be elite if the recruiting sites did their job right. But maybe we'd finish around 18th or so more often, and then people may actually predict us to not completely suck and/or act like it's a miracle when we go 9-4 or whatever.

Biggest OOS name may have been LB Bradley Shaw from Hoover, 4 star (.94, but I know ratings don't count in this thread*****). He is the #14 LB in the nation and #9 player in AL. Has about 20 Blue Blood offers. Can read his profile by googling Bradley Shaw 24/7. Only one my friend told me about. There is an article about his reaction to the cookout visit on genespage but it is a paid article.
