DT Juco. Found him.
I know many keep saying "we will be fine" when discussing our DT's. But let's be honest, we lose Grant Harris, Tre Brown, Braxton Hoyett, and Cory Thomas. Redshirt freshman James Jackson moved to OL. Obviously Simmons will probably leave early for the NFL. So Lee Autry is the only returning player who has taken any snaps (other than the allowed 4 games to redshirt). So assuming we don't move a defensive end to the inside, it could be Lee Autry lining up next to a freshman such as Crumedy or Lovett. I think defensive line depth is so important in this league. I'm all for throwing a JUCO DT body into the mix.
Yep. I said this a while backQuote:

I just don't see that, he's not built for that, he's a DE.Quote:

We've been spoiled by Fletcher Cox, Chris Jones, and Jeffrey Simmons all in a row basically. I can't see us rotating guys in and out like we did this year.Quote:

Pick, Lovett, Moore, Crumedy, etc should be a damn solid DT group going forward.Quote:

I wouldn't be shocked to see us get a grad transfer on the DL.
Baker is earning a good reputation that may be worth a solid prospect spending a year with to see if they can up their draft stock
Agree with this except for the grad transfer , we will use the juco route to fill any needs or better yet go after a Sweat / Rivers talent if availableQuote:

Arky getting a visit from Greg Brooks. He could flip.
Keonte Schad was here this past weekend.
De'Monte Russell visiting Ole Miss - Steve ain't worried.
18-19 kids on campus this weekend looking to complete this class
Emerson OV to MSU this weekend. He's scheduled to OV Miami the 15th.
Brooks has already OV to Arkansas he'll OV to MSU this weekend.
As we head into the homestretch before the early signing period who do we have to be worried about on flip watch? Are Emerson, Brooks and Russel the main ones we're a little concerned about or are there others?
I'm not too worried on Brooks. I'm not worried at all on Russell. I have some concern on Emerson.Quote:

You need to remember that some of our commits have absolute morons in their ears.
Not concerned with Hall and OM.
Oh I'm not concerned with Hall and OM either, I just can't take it as a good sign he's chosen to not take an official to MSU. His recruitment has always been a little odd as most have felt he's long favored Auburn. But he never pulled the trigger and there are some rumblings that he might not have a commitable offer from them yet. Like Dean he's been a hard guy to get a read on.
I'm going to keep my mouth shut for now on Hall. I have my opinions there but we'll see. Don't be surprised if you see a new name pop up for that spot though. And I don't mean we're dropping him.
So where you guys think we end up finishing in rankings? There's 1 team ahead of us (OM) with a lower avg rating per player and 4 teams behind us with a higher avg rating per player (South Carolina, usc, Stanford, and Miami). We're currently at #20. 22nd to 25th?
Wise man.Quote:

Those kids have built relationships for a couple years and it's hard to establish a new one, especially if you were on a staff that didn't originally recruit the kid.
A Top 25 ranking with this would be solid. For comparison, we finished 30th with Mullen's first full class.
I just don’t see a one and done player having that big of an impact on other guys pledging bare minimum three years here.Quote:

No, it's not going to get us big time WR's but it does chip another piece away at the image of MSU being "poor old MSU".Quote:

I wish I could explain it better than that, but FWIW, in the face and body, Witherspoon looks like a 5 star athlete. I don't know. Gotta feeling with this one. The genetics appear to be right IMO.
