We will sign 15 today and have a mountain to climb to land 7-8 of the 10 left to sign in the next seven weeks. Not a bad class but not 'Championship Standard' either. I hope to see Moorhead make some adjustments and clean things up for 2020.
We aren't getting r jones.Quote:

As usual we will fill it in with a few projects and people that are cut loose by other programs its the way of the road.
Rick Ray worked hard too. It's about results. Considering the talent in the state this year, this is disappointing.Quote:

Ha! You are trying logic on him? Might as well explain quantum physics to a third grader.Quote:

We have plenty of room though. We could actually sign 28 in this class but we can't because of the 85. It wouldn't hurt us at all. But he's probably not going to make it anyway so moot point.Quote:

Next year's class will be much easier for him to recruit because of familiarity. In case you haven't noticed though, we pulled a 4 star DL from Tennessee, flipped Cross from FSU, and have the QB of the future from Virginia. We locked down some solid in state talent and also went out of state to fill needs. We may not even lose James either. So I'm not sure why everyone is burning this thing down.
Woodshedded. Good luck to our coaches finding replacements. I feel badly for them, but this is MSU recuiting, win or lose on the field. It's an unfortunate shame.
