Christianity is about truth. God expects us to do things the right way. He expects us to give our best effort and he likes to see us work hard and succeed. If not, he would not have given us bodies that shiver in the cold, get hungry when we don't go get food, and make sure things are clean. He wants us to work in order to thrive.

Let's not come down on Preach in this manner. if we want to discuss the ramifications of social media and crootin' , fine. But let's lay off the religious stuff regarding Preach. that's not the proper angle.

You’re 100% right. But his insistence on running this kid down his entire recruiting process is beyond ridiculous. He either has a vendetta against him or he wants so bad to be right about him not succeeding so he can say I told you so.

Either way, this is a recruiting thread, where potential recruits and targets are discussed...so he needs to STFU. Period.

Posting some hot take about who will sign with who, strengths/skills, rumors, etc., are one thing....shit, Preach does that plenty, as do many posters. That's what this thread is for. But flat out running a kid down, one that our coaches are actively recruiting, hurts MSU...and I've got a problem with that. I'd hope everyone does. Alas, though, this is Elite Dawgs, where for some, their "internet personality" is more important than the well being of the university. **** that.

Beardo's last post above is the truth. We really shouldn't flood this thread with flaming posts. It should stay on topic. But preacher has embarrassed us with his online shit talking. We'll leave it at that. He should consider taking a break for a while.

Can you people please stop. You’re ruining the recruiting thread.

Nothing we say on here affects recruiting in anyway.

Get over yourself.

Y?all worried about a kid we aren?t even going to recruit anymore. Move on.

I say we move the discussion back to MSU recruiting and not worry about the shit birds. Who are some that we are expecting to commit in the coming weeks? SBW should bring a few in

Listening to the guys in the know here + the Bonyard, it seems like Gray (4* RB from TN I think) will commit. Everyone seems to mention him when talking about SBW and who's next, though nobody's saying it outright of course. Though I don't know anything, that's just how I interpret what's being said. Also Steve said Kyziah Pruitt has been expected by many to commit "for a while" when talking about SWB if I'm remembering right. But Ari and IYOK can fill you in 100x better than me

I think Jarrian Jones will commit

I’m so proud of the new staff and how they’re recruiting!

Lots of folks saying the days leading up to sbw and the actual weekend will be very good.

Steve say we have new commitment. Javeious Purvis

I don’t know anything about him, he a safety in college?

Purvis would be 4 star if he were playing at bigger school. He plays at pelehatchie which Is really small and let me tell you he is one of the most freakish athletes at his size that you will ever see

He is listed as a safety in college but he will most likely grow into a linebacker. He's listed at 6'2 195 but I'd say he's already over 200 and is solid muscle.

I will co-sign all of this.

Looks like he’s a physical safety with a big strong frame. I like getting guys like this that play all over the field and both sides of the ball in high school. Think it helps grow their vision and fb IQ.

Excited to get Purvis. He looks mean.

Steve implied good things about 4* DE Ani Izuchukwu. He onto something? Sounds like a fantastic get if true

He may push it back a little but still expect it to be MSU when he decides. He's been going back & forth on whether he was going to announce Monday or not.

Could be some more good news this week also. Not for certain but a definite possibility.

So 2 4*s very likely to commit within a week? Damn man, they would give us 4 4*s already with our #1 QB target that should also be a 4. I expressed concern back when we were losing all those battles with Arky, but I'm really happy to say I'm an idiot. Never listen to me again, I was 100% wrong, everyone laugh at the moron, etc etc. JoMo can recruit and even more importantly he knows how to hire a staff that can too. And with how good he seems to be at getting out of state guys, I'm not sire we'll ever drop out of the top 20 in recruiting, as even in down years in MS he'll still pull guys from elsewhere at a pretty high rate. This staff seems too thorough to miss any under the radar guys, which I was worried about since that was Mullen's strength. So we'll still get the under the radar guys, but fight harder for the top guys and cast a wider net, all while making a better impression on a personal level.

Really like the job this staff is doing on the recruiting trail. I also feel like the relationships they are building with these prospects are stronger than what we had in the past. Not to say we won't have any decommitments but seems like the commits we are getting are as strong as those relationships

I expect Jarrian Jones to sign with State
