I have gotten some info on Emery and what’s going on there. Kid is in a tough situation and that’s all I will say about that.

I have an idea for everyone.. Enjoy the ****ing upcoming season it’s going to be fun. Recruiting will be fine give the staff some time..

I really want to believe you.

The problem is that the staff doesn't control the amount of instate talent.

Per the amount of instate talent available, this has a chance to be one of our worst classes in a while. Again, compared to the amount of talent available in our state.

We've simply never missed this much.

How did our recruiting go from so good to so mediocre in roughly a month?

We've simply never missed this much.

We've also never had Bama, Auburn, UGA, and LSU recruiting as many MS kids. Used to be the top 4-5 guys were all that could leave the state, this year the top 15 or so have options.

The thing that hurts me is that the staff isn't getting who they're targeting. we did early but the last month and a half has just been loses on so many instate and out of state top targets. OM is 3-0 vs us (Black, Jackson ,and Mingo). We know their $trategy but that's always been that way, and we should be able to be way better than this at beating it.

Ari, you can say it'll be ok and I'm sure we'll finish top 25. However, there's simply no denying this class is shaping up to be a big missed opportunity. You called Turnage a while ago, that seems to have fallen through. You and others called Emery, that fell through. Bucky said OM was "not our biggest threat" for Mingo literally 2 days ago.

At this point I'm checking out on recruiting till the season is rolling... it's clear our target board is all over the place with targets comiting elsewhere so fast, insiders have no idea what's going on, and the season is the only variable that can really change our recruiting outlook. That and time to build relationships and counter $$$ influences. Either way there's not much good that will be happening soon, but a lot of chaos and disappointment for those ho try to keep up

Ole Miss will get Dean, get another flip, and probably pull an elite player from out of state, that will get a lot of attention. They will sign a top 20 class in February.

At least we can fill our class out with the ones they have to drop (maybe **, maybe not)

Well that may be a viable option for us, since we're running out of realistic targets.

If they do I want us to sling money around like there's no tomorrow. 17 it- if all the other West teams hand out Chargers, and OM isn't even trying to hide it, then we have to accept this is the new reality. NCAA won't do anything, even if they did decide to investigate is (which is like a 5% chance at most). Can't spell MSU without a little dyslexic SMU

Moorhead and Huff recruited him when he was in HS and they were at PSU.

They very well may do that, but their top 2 commits are guys who aren't expected to make it to school (Black and Ealy) and besides Dean, they won't have any elite defensive guys coming in to fix that already terrible defense.

They aren't 3-0 against us. You don't think they wanted Jones, Pickering, Moore or Russell?? And if you are speaking of flips, Mingo has never even been an MSU lean much less committed to us.

I've disagreed with you a lot in the past, but this is spot on. They would trade Jackson or Mingo for one of our DL commits in a heartbeat.

Now granted, they're going to try to flip one of them anyway

Does losing the appeal cause their scholarship limits to kick in (ever so slightly)? I went to Nafoom thread on their recruiting last night and one of their posters said that he thought that they could sign 29 this cycle. Is this even possible? I thought the limit per year was 25 at most. No more meltdowns. Whatever will be will be. Long way to Dec with a season to play out first. Keep working. Hail State!

No slight to Pruitt, Torbor, or the other guys left on the board, but Jackson and Mingo are the only 2 that fit that mold. All you ca hope for is that the season will change things, but we'll probably have to wait 4 months to find out if we got an A- or a C+ WR class

We will win 10 or 11 and a good bowl game and Mississippi will go 6-6 or 5-7 and sit at home and we will see some of the recent OM commits get real shaky fast! We just need to be in the game and we can get the best recruiting class we've ever had! Hail State!

We'll be the one school that ****s up and pays in checks and leaves a paper trail a mile long.
