Any chance AJ shows up in Starkville, or is he for sure going to Bama today?
Probably won't know until tonight.Quote:

My gut says he goes to Bama this weekend, but that we get him in for an official visit before signing day. Not sure when, could be mid week, or could be next weekend.
Still not the least bit worried with AJ or Kobe despite all efforts by the bears that are trolling the board.
I am not in the least bit worried about those two and a few more.
Looks like we are trending for Cecil Stallings, a DE out of Georgia.
It looks like the new staff at South Carolina aren't honoring his commitment. At least that is the rumor. Looks like a solid prospect.

When Muschamp was hired Stallings immediately said he didn't think he fit his defense. Muschamp has said he'd honor his commitment but he did agree that he doesn't fit his defense.Quote:

We only have 13 commits right now, and 4 are early enrollees, so one or more may count back to the previous year. He thinks there is no way we don't take and sign at least 10 more players. I was thinking 8-9, but he is telling me at least 10 more.
Considering we can count some of the guys that enrolled early to last year's class, that makes sense. Anyway, just wanted to pass this info along, and what it tells me is that this is going to be an exciting next 18 days. Lets hope the board can keep it together over the next few weeks, there will be ups and downs, but I think we close strong.
Yea I said 11 max if we can get the right 11.Quote:

Definitely not the way I prefer to do it, but maybe if commitments start rolling in it will create some buzz.Quote:

Yea today is his bday. To be honest I don't know enough about the kid to say he's going to commit. There's a group of guys who could commit this week & wouldn't surprise me. Lashley, Kobe, Couch, & Farrar.Quote:

I'm not gonna freak out. Pretty sure this is his 1st OV. He deserves to get wined and dined. Hopefully he comes and visits us soonQuote:

Truth is, so long as he doesn't commit to Bama this weekend, it's probably best that he gets that visit out of the way now.
Nero Nelson & Marquiss Spencer have moved their visits back to next weekend & it's not like Kobe & Lashley can't come back when AJ does.
My point is that, I understand that we want & need AJ to officially visit, but I never understood why people were so worried that is was going to be this weekend.
He's going where he was scheduled to go. Nothing shocking.
He could be here next weekend simply because I truly think it's us Bama or TSUN left In the running why take an OV to Cal next weekend
No doubt, or he could just take a mid-week visit.Quote:

May be wishful thinking, but I think he knows he's coming to state and just enjoying the process. If I could get a free trip to California, I'd probably go too.Quote:

Exactly, if you can get free trips, why would you drive down the street?Quote:

Cal and Berkley are some of the cooler college campuses and towns you could visit for a weekend
I think you would want to get the first visit or the last visit after the dead period. We probably aren't going to get either, but... This case is a local kid who knows Starkville and MSU better than most all of us. I think you have to look at these GTR guys a little different than guys from outside the area. I hope he has a great time on all his visits.
Stallings has made it onto campus. Farrar is on his way. Farrar released his top 4 of Washington, Ok State, Texas Tech and MSU. No particular order. Eiland, Lashley and Thomas are here and I think Kobe as well.
So who will pull the trigger first this weekend?
The way I look at it with AJ, why shouldn't he take his visits if he knows he going to State? He already knows our campus. I believe by him taking his OV's elsewhere is actually a sign that he's gonna be a dawg. Just my 2 cents.
All of the rest of our scheduled visitors have made it. Moon, Davis, Knott, Simmons, Parker, Charles
I agree. I wouldn't be shocked if he doesn't officially visit at all. I wouldn't if I were him.Quote:
