"A commit coming today" is intel, "A commit possibly coming" just sounds like throwing crap against the wall.Quote:

I was told we are working on getting a commit today . that's what I was told .. it may happen it may not happen. And I won't suck my own cock and say I Told You So if it does happen.
Ari Gold really seems to be in the know. I'd stop running him down or he could stop feeding us info. I'm thankful for guys like him, IYOK, and Devious. Do they miss sometimes? Sure... But all three have been write more than they have been wrong.
On Nixon....where is his hometown? Since he's at juco in Arizona....and if his hometown is west of us....I don't understand how we couldn't get a visit along with Tenn. since he's coming this way. Again, that's if he's living west of us. Unless he's used up all his visits. Seems like he could get in both visits.
Ari...ignore the idjits.
I'm not running anybody down that has contacts and provides information because I don't really have any. So I appreciate anything that is shared. That being said though, the statement "a commit possibly coming" is not "intel". A commit is always "possibly" coming unless your class is slam full. And as I read Ari's response he says he was told we were trying to get a commit TODAY. That's a lot more solid than what was originally posted.Quote:

So what happened with Avery? Are we out?
That will be very disappointing if we don't land him. DB is a big need and so far we missed on Nixon and Landrews, moved on from Whigley, and may not get our top target. IYOK or Ari, who else is left on the board?Quote:

Social media and TV media continue to rehash the negative perception of Starkville and state of MS, as a whole. In defense of our coaches, they have that to work against. What gets under my skin is that it's all bullshit. Makes me want to really hurt these media fools.Quote:

MSU is the Tennessee of college baseball. We'll always recruit well due to tradition & fan support.
In basketball, you only need a few really good players. If all our football team needed was 4 outstanding players, we'd be really good.
No one on the outside notices, or thinks about that.Quote:

I've gotta a guess. Don't know for sure but just looking at posts I notice some patterns. I don't know if you seen it but I seen it. :oQuote:

By the same token, for anyone paying attention, it was well known when we hired Dan Mullen that recruiting was absolutely not his strong suit. In fact, Tebow basically said that he went to Florida in spite of Mullen's recruitment of him.Quote:
