I’ve said Mingo isn’t happening and I still believe that barring something crazy. He’s all over the draft angle they’re selling and we can’t offer that.
Can’t make a kid care about winning. He’s signing up to play for Arkansas Part DeuxQuote:

That's why OM can continue to recruit good WRs even though the program is going down in flames.Quote:

We have everything going for us. Need to keep the key coaches intact, highlight UMs mess at every opportunity and make our case. I would love for the defensive staff to stay completely intact for this year. Got to make Shoop the happiest guy on the planet.
A list of our commits/targets that are signing early would be nice so we can divide them into December and February signees.
Things seem to be lining up for a strong finish.

Hopefully Mingo will finally realize this unless he is just determined to go to OM.

It does amaze me- but then again people fall for scams all the time.Quote:

Kevon Glenn hasn't been to MSU since early summer I doubt he's in this class. Dawand Jones has picked up Michigan, Ohio St, & FSU Offers in the past week. Going to be a very difficult pull.Quote:

Tn and Um working Witherspoon pretty hard.

I'm wondering if we are still that interested considering we are getting Walker. We have precious few spots left so if his offer is commitable he should take it asap.Quote:

Don't fall for it. Especially with OM people saying it.Quote:

I don't know many/any MSU folks who think we have a shot at Nakobe. Maybe I'm just of that loop. I hope I am.Quote:

A quick thought about this recruiting class:
The SEC is a line of scrimmage league & we are cleaning up on the line of scrimmage.
Here is the potential class:
OL:
Cross - 4
Cunningham - 4
Washington - High 3
Sharp - High 3
Pendley - Solid 3
Jones - upside 3
DL
Pickering - high 4
Moore - high 4
Russell - 4
Ani - 3/4
The only line of scrimmage player in state that we are going to miss on is Young. Would love to have Turnage, Mingo, Dean, & Dannis Jackson, but they simply don't play the most important positions in the SEC.
No they haven't. What "State people" said this? Just curiousQuote:

Here is what I know with ND
I said it back in the spring we had as good of a shot getting him as OM did. That was probably going out on a limb but was told that.
ND is a different cat.
ND’s mother doesn’t play the bullshit recruiting games .. Fact
Saban rubbed the mom the wrong way ( I know that for a fact) and you saw how they faded over the summer . That being said it is Bama and recruiting so if he signed there it wouldn’t be shocking
I wasn’t told anything on his dad who lives in Fla but you see and read OM has him involved
In the end I doubt we get the kid, but I will be shocked if he goes to OM. Maybe it turns out he has to do what’s best for business. And like in the past with some players that’s where he ends up. The brother has very little influence on his decision. It does help I’m sure that he is at OM but it doesnt tip the scale
In the end I think it’s to an out of state school and my guess still is Georgia.
Saying all of that ....... if there was a NFL style draft and we had first pick of an instate kid We take Pickering #1 overall
Getting a 2019 commit today?
Witherspoon?
That is my guess. Or Bedford.Quote:

I believe if Mingo wanted to come here, he would be better suited to play whatever he wanted to play. My money would be on WR.Quote:
