What your saying is pretty much true. It is why we are never going to recruit better than we have been because the media don't like us, therefore the recruiting services don't like us, and every staff we get will have to deal with the same bullshit as the preceding ones. The negative perception, the systematic cheating, and the exceedingly ignorant people that infiltrate our recruiting footprint. The staff we have is a good recruiting staff and the kids responded, but we aren't able to close like we need to because of the aforementioned reasons. We will sign a top 25 class, or may sign a top 30 class.Quote:

We basically lost our whole CB class....3 guys... it is a big deal. If you lost 3 big contracts at work the day before they were to close how happy would your boss be? I do think we move Witherspoon to CB and still have time to fill holes but yea this is a big miss.Quote:

Seems like they?re finding out what SEC recruiting is all about, even though they should be well prepared considering they skipped bowl game practice last year to recruit. Are they overwhelmed with having to do recruiting and bowl game prep at the same time? I can take guys going to Bama, but losing them to Auburn and Arky aren?t good for having successful seasons. They?re usually both swing games and determine our finish in the West.Quote:

Damn. The sky must be falling the way some of you are acting. As if flips don't happen every year.
With competition decreasing at CB. How do we feel with Emerson?
If IF we pull Plumlee and Raydar I call today a win
That would be a huuuge win.Quote:

Raydar will sign with either LSU or the bears, Plumlee waits till February...Quote:

We will sign 15 today and have a mountain to climb to land 7-8 of the 10 left to sign in the next seven weeks. Not a bad class but not 'Championship Standard' either. I hope to see Moorhead make some adjustments and clean things up for 2020.
We aren't getting r jones.Quote:

As usual we will fill it in with a few projects and people that are cut loose by other programs its the way of the road.
Rick Ray worked hard too. It's about results. Considering the talent in the state this year, this is disappointing.Quote:

Ha! You are trying logic on him? Might as well explain quantum physics to a third grader.Quote:

We have plenty of room though. We could actually sign 28 in this class but we can't because of the 85. It wouldn't hurt us at all. But he's probably not going to make it anyway so moot point.Quote:

Next year's class will be much easier for him to recruit because of familiarity. In case you haven't noticed though, we pulled a 4 star DL from Tennessee, flipped Cross from FSU, and have the QB of the future from Virginia. We locked down some solid in state talent and also went out of state to fill needs. We may not even lose James either. So I'm not sure why everyone is burning this thing down.
Woodshedded. Good luck to our coaches finding replacements. I feel badly for them, but this is MSU recuiting, win or lose on the field. It's an unfortunate shame.
