If we close on 4 of the 7 that is fantastic. Especially considering none of the 7 are committed to us.Quote:

Your fantastic and mine are two different things. But you have that right to your opinion. We all want the same thing.Quote:

There's five we good with
Rogers is really the only one we waiting big on, other than Nicholson who most doubt.
Looks pretty good. Then we wait on the portal
I think the problem is we took about 7 early commits at Db and we only have 2 of those left. Nicholson and Thomas bolted (although we kind of knew it with Thomas) and then we dropped 3 guys who we didn?t like how they progressed this year.Quote:

Then we are simply getting beat out while we scramble around looking for replacements. I get the vibe that we felt pretty strong on Rogers and maybe another one that we?ve lost ground on because when we dropped those guys we haven?t heard any new names pop up
Agree. I'll admit I'm more positive generally, and o believe you are more negative. Nothing wrong with that.Quote:

I'm amazed at your positivity. This is a limp to the finish at best.Quote:

Everything ive read and heard still seems like we are in a good position to close strong. What have yall heard to make you think we are about to flop?
In that case:Quote:

Never led for all those. Not even in the game on a couple. I beat up our shitty way of recruiting, and lack of give a shit by our school (and boosters), but we're close to having a solid class. Couple pieces fall our way, we're ok. Couple fall out, well, same old same old.Quote:

I think we end up getting Dinkins and our staff loves Chris Bell. It just depends how bad he wants to play receiver. He can flourish at receiver at Louisville. Most likely a linebacker here but I am sure they will give him a look at wr.
I don?t see a ?limp? to the finish line. When you are recruiting high level players, other teams are going to continue to recruit them to the finish line.
I don't see a limp either. Some of the posters are always negative for a reason.
I don't have feelings anyway. I used to get very into recruiting but with flips and drama my following has decreased dramatically
Are we top 15? No
Could we be with the right coaches/commitment? Occasionally
But this class will be solid if we can get the last few pieces. And while I'll complain about some things, we almost always have a good plan when things don't go our way. That DB recruiting got to get better.
Any news on a kicker?Quote:

Sharks are done with Blanton. He?s a dawg.
The word in Madison is he told them it's over, thanks for recruiting him, but no need to continue.Quote:

Yeah - those are details I never care about. They wanted him, we got him; The rest is pure spin. Lets see who they replace him with and then their spin will make even less sense.Quote:

Just trying to get caught up to speed here, but what?s the deal with Nicholson?? Everything I see here is that it?s slim to no chance at pulling him back in. I?ve also heard UK had 2 DBs in for visits last week and one being another JUCO DB and he wasn?t happy about that. But again idk how true the last part is.
Commerce coached the kid. There is something holding him back from state( I don't know why this happens to us) for some reason. Not sure if anyone knows where he's going but I think it's slim to none unless some things change. I just hope he's gets to go where he really wants to. Bout all you can hope for. It's his life and college career. I can't think of many things that would stop me from choosing my school of choice if I had a free ride.Quote:

Steve mentioned on the radio this morning that we expect double digit visitors this weekend. He couldn't release some names because they are committed to other schools at the moment but hopefully some more news will come to light after the weekend
Remember he's always going to be overly optimisticQuote:

Hello DJ James... remember us .. We forgive you..
I hate Mississippi state recruiting in December
We do pretty good until it's time to actually close.
I doubt we have much of a shot but DJ would be huge
We're doing fine. We're basically down to a couple kids that are committed to other schools, and one that was but is all over the place. Grab those two up that are committed and people will piss their pants they're so happy.Quote:
