THE 2020 MSU Football Recruiting Talk Thread

I wonder if the new coach will put Janari Dean as a S or a RB?

You can't tell recruits that can opt out of a NLI about you firing your head coach before you do it publicly. Welcome to why social media has made schools lives so much more difficult.

He can't handle RB. Not durable enough.

Thanks for info - this is so refreshing.

Can you expand on this CC?

Cohen said in his PC that they had talked to every recruit.

If it is Napier, are there any guys that:

1) Might be more interested in us with him coming in

2) On ULL's radar that would be interested in coming to MSU and are good enough to play SEC football

Because he's stayed banged up. He'll be on defense.

I like him in his current off-field role.

Possibly 2 or 3 guys to both of your questions? I don't expect a whole lot of turnover either way.

Edgerrin Cooper committed to A&M

Stinks, but oh well. He just wanted a brand name.

Not like we were going to be able to get him after changing coaches anyway.

We've got get to the point where we own Louisiana after LSU & Bama.

That dude can run. Excellent closing speed. I agree, we need to sign 3-5 players from LA every year.

Now that joe is gone, can some of you admit the legend of Moorhead's recruiting is more myth than fact? Mullen's last 3 classes avg'd out at 23.3; Moorhead's 3 classes avg out at 26. To be fair, Mullen's best class is in that 3 year period, so let's toss best for each in that 3-year period... mullen then is 26, and Moorhead is at 27. There was never a nickel's difference between the two, yet one was proclaimed horrible and the other an ace.

Mullen was not balanced and left some major holes to fill, out of laziness. Other than that, not much difference.

How could we have three top 25 classes in a row if they average out to 26?

28, 24, 27... actually 26.3 now. Someone must have jumped us this morning.

I Thought we had 22 signees and now 247 has 21 listed. Am I wrong?

It's a top 25 class. The composite rankings are meaningless, especially when one service doesn't get any subscribers.

ETA... not that there's any difference, just saying
