That doesn't Luke isn't a 4 star. It just means that Robertson is way way better than Luke. It's not close on video

Sawyer is ranked where he is for two reasons, and both involve baseball.

1. He isn't able to go to all of the football camps because of his baseball schedule. Why that warrants lowering his ranking, idk. But if he were going to all of these football camps, he'd be showing out and there'd be no doubt he's one of the top QBs in the country.

2. And the only knock in Sawyer's mechanics is the tendency to let his baseball throwing motion slip into his football delivery. If you watch his film closely, you can see it every now and then. Easily fixable with good coaching, but just an observation. He also has the tendency to throw off his back foot a bit when it's unwarranted, but again, easily fixable.

Other than that he has all the intangibles, arm strength, accuracy, and pocket presence to be an elite level prospect.

Keon Coleman put out a top 3 of South Carolina, Kansas, and Oklahoma.

Jacobi Moore is probably next on the board. Not quite the ceiling, but he's got the size and speed we want.

Moore & Da'wain Lofton look to be the next up in the pecking order.

What about Knox?

Give me Knox, Nabers, Kanarius Johnson, Buckhaulter, and Jacobi Moore and let’s roll.

Kanarius Johnson, Brandon Buckhaulter, and Jacobi Moore would be hella gravy on top of those 2 lol. That would be a fantastic WR class.

Malik Nabers down to MSU and UGA for his final 2. Battle of the Bulldogs.

Would be an ENORMOUS get. Knox we feel great about, Kanarius Johnson we feel great about, we've got Buckhaulter committed. When you talk about adding Nabers to those 3, that alone is the best WR class we would have ever signed. Jacobi Moore added to it is just a big cherry on top. Pretty much any year in the past, we would have killed to get Moore in the class at all. Now he's possibly the 4th/5th best WR that could make up our WR class. That's incredible.

Nabors is down to 2.

Seems like with two finalists, it shouldn't be till after his season to decide.

I actually feel good about getting his commit, but I dread December, late offer by LSU.

So are we actually going after Marcel Brooks, or is Kylin just tweeting about it for fun?

That would be nice.

Think Barton Simmons tweeted he had some red flags in his recruitment, but the ability is for sure there. I think with Leach he would sink or swim so I wouldn’t mind taking a shot. Wonder why he is leaving?

Looks like Knox doesn't want Nabors to pull the trigger first.

Rosie has posted the flag.

Teddy Knox makes it official (Twitter)

Myzel Williams is announcing Monday. Looks like he will be committing to State.

Do you have some inside info on this? I hope you are right. I can?t tell anything from the tweet.

Thanks, I didn?t know that. Fingers crossed.

Are we turning the tide on Deion Smith?

Seems to be a sniff in the wind

Where did you hear that? Would be big.

put yourself in Deion Smith's moccasins.

You can go to LSU & you really aren't sure what they're offense will look like in 2 years. You really don't know.

Or now with Knox & Robertson committed & Nabers almost committed, you can come to MSU & not be double covered while playing with a top flight QB & for the greatest passing coach in history.

You'd have to think Knox & Nabers being Bulldogs would have at least get Smith to think about coming to MSU.

I see what you're saying but LSU is about to have 4 Of the Top 10 WR committed in the next month or so. Knox & Nabers isn't moving the needle like Earle, Hilton, & Thomas. Now hopefully LSU offense takes a step back. That will make a bigger difference than who's coming in with him at WR. That & along with some friends already at MSU.

Also, I think once/if the season gets going, we will open even more WR eyes when we’re slinging the ball all over the field

All true.

My point is that the combination of Robertson, Knox, and Nabers should only help with Deion.

Hopefully this is a Charles Cross type recruitment

Barton Simmons throws a pick for MSU for Malik Nabers. His CB looking good.

https://247sports.com/PlayerInstitut...rtPredictions/

Justin Walley picks up a CB to Baylor.

Weird. Hopefully with his brother here, we end up getting him

I got a feeling that the only way we don?t get Walley is if we don?t push for him.

New commit

[tweet2]1277632193330851841[/tweet2]

No idea who the new commit is, regardless welcome to the family young man.

Myzel Williams,a safety from Florida, commits.

Good early get. Got 30 D1 offers, believe 9-10 are P5. He's super aggressive watching his film. Not afraid to stick his nose in there and light someone up.

Gotta say, this coaching staff appears to be pretty good at finding these underrated kids early that seem like kids who could blow up (this kid, Thomas Davis, I'd put Corey Ellington in this category). It's early and they have to hold on to kids they find early that do wind up blowing up (Thomas Davis being an example) & their evals will be judged on when the kids actually get to campus. But I really like the way this staff is recruiting. Need to see some more on the DL/OL recruiting but it's an unusual year as far as OL/DL recruits in MS.

Yeah good player. His ranking is likely a casualty of a poor evaluation period. Looks like a high 3 star at worst. An 88-89 type

This staff has been together digging up these guys for years. Wazzou had more Florida kids on the roster than MSU

Good point. I had forgotten they had gotten several players to come to WSU from FL.

Need to pick up Timar Rogers from FL also. He's another severely underrated kid. Very solid looking LB.

Very excited to see how this class ultimately shakes out because there's really good early vibes most positions, just gotta figure out the OL/DL recruiting for this odd year in MS.
