I appreciate the info that's shared here. There's no way for anyobe to be 100% on any of this.Quote:

Mingo is at 7:30. Ealy is at 11 something on ESPN2. No idea on the othersQuote:

Ealy - Ole Miss
Moore - AU

Emerson - State
Young - Bama
Jerrion Ealy, Running Back, Jackson PrepQuote:

State of his recruitment: A 5-star prospect considered the third-best running back in the country by 247Sports, Ealy's decision comes down to Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Clemson and Alabama. Ealy spent more than a year committed to Ole Miss, but in early January he backed off his pledge. Ealy took official visits to all four of his top schools within the last two months. He received a visit at school last week from Alabama coach Nick Saban. Ealy's recruitment will not end once he picks a college. Projected to go in the first round of the MLB Draft, Ealy will have to decide whether or not he plays professional baseball instead of going to school.
Charles Moore, Defensive end, Louisville
When: 9:30 a.m.
State of his recruitment: Once the highest-rated player in the state for his class, Moore recovered from an ACL injury his junior year to help Louisville win a class 4A state title. Moore committed to Mississippi State in August 2017, but he reopened his recruitment last month. Moore took official visits in January to Florida, Florida State and LSU. He visited Auburn in early December.
Nathan Pickering, Defensive tackle, Seminary
When: 9 a.m.
State of his recruitment: Pickering has remained solid on his commitment to Mississippi State since this summer. Pickering, a 4-star prospect, took three unofficial visits to Alabama, an official visit to Florida and an official visit to LSU since he made his commitment, but Pickering gave Mississippi State his final official visit. He enters signing day with a Twitter bio that reads "Defensive Tackle @ Mississippi State University".
Byron Young, Defensive lineman, West Jones
When: 8:00 a.m.
State of his recruitment: Young, a 4-star recruit, committed to Alabama last summer and has publicly supported the Crimson Tide ever since. Young wanted to take his time with his decision, so he didn't sign in December. He used official visits to Florida, Alabama, Ole Miss, Mississippi State and, a few days ago, LSU. Young shut down all communication Monday, sending a tweet that said "I will not be accepting any more calls or text."
Jonathan Mingo, Wide receiver, Brandon
When: 7:30 a.m.
State of his recruitment: Mingo, the top receiver in the state, took official visits to Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Georgia before signing day. He has friends signed with State, but he committed to Ole Miss last July and visited Oxford a couple times last fall. The late Georgia visit looked surprising, but Mingo wore No. 18 in high school because of former Georgia wide receiver A.J. Green, his favorite player who wears the same number in the NFL.
John Rhys Plumlee, Quarterback, Oak Grove
When: 11:45 a.m.
State of his recruitment: Plumlee ended his recruitment when he committed to Ole Miss late Monday night. Plumlee spent six months committed to play football and baseball at Georgia, but the Bulldogs asked him to blueshirt, prompting Plumlee to reopen his recruitment. He plans to play both sports at Ole Miss, though he will consider professional baseball depending on his selection in the MLB Draft.
I like that mingo is picking at 730. Seems that's more of a miss state slot (non-eventful/not prime slot)
To Summarize
7:30 Mingo
8:00 Young
9:00 Pickering
9:30 Moore
11:00 Emerson
11:15 Ealy
He is ready to get it over with. Ever since OM learned they were behind some its been heated for himQuote:

I firmly believe if Baker had stayed Young is likely a DawgQuote:

While the staff changes (except for maybe Johnson with Mingo) probably haven't helped much, I don't think they were going to be the difference in whether or not we got any of them.Quote:

I'm going to say no on Ealy because he was committed to Ole Miss while Huff was our coach.Quote:

More than anything- I think we just had some shitty luck with certain things. Mainly talking about Charles Moore and just kind of everything else than one particular coach leaving.
If we don't get Moore I will be a bit ticked. Last week I was fine with not caring where he went because it sure appeared it definitely wouldn't be MSU. But if he wasn't going to come back in the fold I really don't understand pulling our coaches back in on him. Seems a large part of our staff spent most of last Thursday in Louisville with him and then hosted him this past Sunday in Starkville. That would be a lot of time wasted if he doesn't sign that we could have been spending elsewhere. Maybe he will sign with us in the end but if he pulled us back in again just to drop us again I will not be amused at the situation.Quote:

At the end of the day none of that matters.....the wins and losses are all on Moorhead, he either signs the recruits or he doesn?t, he either wins the games or he doesn?t...by noon tomorrow his first full year is in the books ...8-5 and a top ?? recruiting classQuote:

Mingo would be one hell of a pull. Moorhead should get major props if it works out. Need Moore to go with him
If we get the ones expected to sign tomorrow and add Mingo and Moore then I think we should all give Moorhead and staff a big pat on the back. That's about as good as we could have expected things to go. Heck, if we just get the expected ones plus Mingo I would not be unhappy.Quote:
