Exactly....an we need to pull all three to make this class a win

From reading the comments on him, it seems he will end up at wr or safety/cb. I know we could use 4-stars at those positions. I'm not eat up on losing him, but we do look dumb to act like he's a crap player when we wanted him too.
Yeah, flipping him from Georgia is just stupid
I know I sound like I’m beating the kid up, and he’s a good kid, so I really don’t want it to be that way. But, he’s not a guy I believe will swing a class one way or the other. He’s chasing this QB dream and he’s not going to be a starting QB. He’s not a top end baseball player either. His speed is good on the baseball field and he’s solid defensively but he’s not an SEC hitter. I don’t blame him for going to OM because of the offense. He knows he’s a runner, not passer. We’ll see how it goes. I’ve always said he had no shot at playing QB if he baseball too. Just can’t miss that much football.
Rosebowl is awfully pessimistic on Bo Bounds.
Looks like Dylan Lawrence will get an offer.
Has anyone ever noticed how the last guy on our board ALWAYS GET AN OFFER?
Moorhead needs a win tomorrow. Fanbase is gonna take a hit if we miss on Moore and Mingo and get outrecruited by OM
But yeah it's too late for that to happen which makes me think we have a more legitimate shot of getting Mingo more than any other teams.
So we basically have a shot at Moore and Mingo, but neither we feel great about? No shot at Ealy? And OM now has a legit shot at landing Ealy, Mingo and even Young?
Am I understanding that right?
If Ole Miss lands those 3 in their current situation, it only confirms that these kids and their families care more about getting paid a decent amount Now over a huge payday down the road. There's absolutely zero reason for Ealy & Young to go to OM...none except $. And you could really include Mingo now that RR is their OC. Recruiting is so dirty, and so confusing, and makes me hate college football a little more and more each year. The NCAA was in OM's ass two years ago uncovering lies and payouts, yet they will sign a 5 star RB over us, Clemson, and Bama? Nice job, NCAA.
Glad I didn't follow recruiting closely this year on the advice of IYOK. I'll check in late tomorrow to see who is in the final signing.
To me it's about closing the deal with Mingo. If our staff wins that battle with Ole Miss, I will feel decent about their ability to close. And we really need to add a playmaker at WR. As I have said for over a week, Ealy to Ole Miss. And talking about Ealy is like talking about Diwun Black. Waste of time. It would be cool to get Charles Moore, but I don't care either way.
Nobody knows what Mingo is going to do, but it's hard to back out of a commitment last minute in most cases. I think if he was going to back out, it would've happened already. I hope he surprises me because I think we're a much better situation for him than OM, and it's not really close. I actually believe he's a DB if he goes to OM.
I keep hearing Clemson for Ealy.
Ealy is going to sign with OM. That was finalized a week or so ago.
Did brooks just get a 4th star for ark? They now have 11 4-stars. Morris is gonna be a problem
ETA... they aren't done. Henry 4-star juco Rb is likely ark bound. Oh and here's the kicker, the state of ark only has 4 4-stars. Miss has 16
Lets get this Wednesday wrapped up so the fanbase can come off the ledge. Good or bad it is what it is. Recruiting is all relationships Moorhead should have more success in 2020 even if the players are not as highly rated. One thing I like with Joe so far is he has shown the ability to get Qbs which is the most important thing. Need our new WR coach to get us some studs going forward.
Let's look at what we're doing instate IMO:
Dean- hate we couldn't get him
Cross- maybe best player in MS (MSU)
Ealy- Baseball- no biggie
Pickering- top 2 in MS (MSU)
Moore- State or AU (I think we get him for some reason)
Young- hate we couldn't get him- Baker 17'd us (Baker is 17r in my book)
Handy- waste of a scholarship
Turnage- another one I wish we could've gotten
Hall- bust IMO
Jackson- Lot of potential we just couldn't pull him
Russell- Underrated due to injuries (MSU)
Mingo- Cross your fingers
J. Jones- Big time (MSU)
Plumlee- Overrated guy without a true position
R. Jones- Hate we never got on him
Cunningham- underrated (MSU)
Close to pulling about half the top talent in MS. Really, better than half if you exclude the 4 guys that really aren't that big a deal IMO.
According to 24/7 we should have 6 that are 4 star or higher on the composite. Adding either Moore or Mingo would add to that number.
I will add this and it's important. We have a lot of guys that are either really close to a 4 star on the 24/7 composite or are a 4 star on other sites. Brandon Cunningham is a 3 star on the 24/7 composite, but on 24/7 actual ranking he's a 4 star 90 overall. Kareem Walker and Fred Peters are 4 stars on Rivals. JaVonta Payton and Quinton Torbor are 4 stars on ESPN. So we currently have 11 guys who are ranked a 4 star on one of the 3 major sites.
So it's not as bad as it sounds with only 5 four star guys. Hell ESPN has us with 10 4 stars.
