I have literally never seen an MSU signing class with still so much up in the air this late, EVER, pre-Mullen or during the Mullen era. Guys, this could be anywhere from one of MSU's best classes ever to a well below average class (rankings wise). Its amazing there is still so much unknown barely over a week from signing day.
Gonna be a hell of a week... Either wayQuote:

Just remember, 9 days until signing day, and I think this class does have a boom or bust feel to it, but I like our position with roughly 8 guys, and I think we only sign 10 more, so should be an interesting few days.Quote:

Take the lack of certainty as a positive. Simply put, we have options now.Quote:

Agree, we can all talk candidly after signing day. Right now, everyone just needs to remain positive.Quote:

If Farrar goes to OU or Knott gets a firm offer and takes it from Bama, or if Reese either gets a spot at FSU or for some dumb reason goes to Syracuse, we have to be ready. Personally I think it is all worked out by late Sunday on most, and then we will just be waiting on 'official' news on Wednesday morning.Quote:

Question... How would we feel if we only landed 2 out of the big 5?
Bad. Very bad.

This doesn't sound good....Quote:
I am good friends with Steve Farrar, Zach's father. Steve and I have known each other for about three years and had offices next to each other for about two. We talked about Zach's recruitment all the time, including yesterday, and again this morning for over an hour. Steve told me that Stoops and Riley will be in the house tomorrow evening. Mississippi State is coming to visit again sometime this week hoping to keep Zach from going to Norman next weekend for an official visit? Not going to happen....he's going!
Someone at OU, maybe Cale, dropped the ball in his recruitment as he rarely heard from the OU coaches during the fall, even as Zach put up terrific receiving numbers for Southlake, one of the premier high school programs here in the Dallas metroplex. I have seen Zach play, he is a exceptional athlete/wide receiver, a great baseball player, sprinter, dedicated workout guy, and a great student with outstanding test scores.
The family has always wanted Zach to go to OU! Zach's girlfriend is going to enroll at OU next fall! The family is truly very excited to get the OU offer, even this late in the process. Sounds like Stoops/Riley can 'close the deal' tomorrow evening!!?
she hot too...he gone
I see us getting Kobe Jones, Lashley, AJ Brown, and Nigel Knott. I think Simmons goes to Ole Miss.Quote:

Didn't really know he had that kind of connection with OU with the GF. Agree that doesn't sound good at all. Guess its good to know you can barely waste any time recruiting a kid until a week before signing day and still get him if that's what happens. Weird that he would still be tweeting MSU stuff though now if he was as hepped up on going to OU as this poster makes it sound.Quote:

I agree that something doesn't smell just right with the info this guy is spouting. Would be curious about the girlfriend angle though and whether that has any truth to it. That would be a big thing to overcome if it was true..Quote:

Hopefully we can hold onto Farrar. He would be really good for our football and baseball programs.
We may not get Derrick but we are definitely right in the thick of things. We are in it a lot more than the national media & most MSU fans want to admit.Quote:
