Yea, I believe even Moorhead beat an 8-4 team. 9+ is a much more exclusive club. Heck, we've been 8-4 ourselves several times by just winning our 4 OOC games and going .500 in the league. I'm not sure Mullen ever beat a team that went 9-3 or better in a season. None come to mind at the moment.Quote:

That is a well coached team. The OG playing next to him also looks good. And they have a one or two RBs that could play college ball at some level as well.
He has some really good footwork. Uses his hands and length very well. Gets to second level and deeper blocking really well. He's got a bit of a nasty streak in him. Watch the tape, he gets his pound of flesh at the ends of some plays. Plays through the whistle. And he is one nasty cutter!!! Really like this offer
I would offer him just based on his name alone!Quote:

We are in the top 6 for Keon Coleman.
Probably the team to beat as long as LSU stays away. Still early with him.Quote:

It's gonna be a battle between us and them. But they're kinda like OM fans. They can't possibly comprehend why someone would want to go somewhere else other than their school, so every recruit remotely interested in them is headed their way. And if they go somewhere else, then they didn't want them.Quote:

As long as he keeps us near where we have been then we're going to be good. If he starts creeping us into the teens of recruiting, watch out
Ok LOL. Calloway, Ellington, has us in the mix for some four star out of state receivers. Dan would never have even tried to recruit those out of state guys.Quote:

And that seems fine.Quote:

The truth is that Leach's offensive system sells itself. He's already got the best QB commitment we've ever had & he's getting more interest in quality WRs than we've ever had. What will our WR recruiting look like as he has success at MSU?
As for defensive & OL recruiting, how much of a difference was Leach going to make at those positions anyway? Not much & I'm sure he'll involve himself some.
If you really want to understand MSU football right now, you have to separate Leach's job description.
Leach = Sean Payton
Emerick = Mickey Loomis
We are almost set up like an NFL org with way talent acquisition relates to coaching.
The strength of that set-up is that the position coaches get to offer players & thus that ensures that they're going to coach their ass off because they have skin in the game & are coaching only players they wanted.
It's take an inordinate amount of non-micromanaging to allow that but Leach seems to be good with it.
New OL offer
Kimo Makaneole 3 ⭐️ OT
https://www.hudl.com/video/3/8122937/5de2e1622aa6880e3431a758
My goodness, this kid is strong, fast, mean, well coached, and big and lean for an OT. He just pounds on guys.
I'm LOVING the kind of players this staff is offering. I want this kid. You can tell that we are after a different type of player than in year's past, but dang, these past few OL offers have been solid finds
And to echo what Shotgun said- that's fine as long as the rest of the staff makes up for it. And that appears to be the case so far. I would have been fine if Dan had the same set up. However Hevesy, Gonzalez, Sallach, and maybe at times Knox were all liabilities. That's not OK.Quote:

Class of 2020. Late addQuote:

I like picking up Buys! Seems like a guy that is a hard worker that can play center or guard for us. I'd rather get guys like this than guys from Alabama that are raw that don't really want to be here and then transfer out after a year.
That 2nd scenario happens rarely.Quote:

Our depth is young which is probably the case for the most part around the country. But we look to be in decent shape even though the exact spots are up in the air at this point.
Feels like a Ben Beckwith type.Quote:

...and I think Dolla moves to RT in 21 and creates the best 2 bookends in school history!
