Looking at our targets listed on 247 and there isn't much there. Anyone have some names of guys we have a real shot at?
Do we have a shot at toryque Bateman?
I see wigley hasn't signed with Colorado yet. Think we try and flip him?
Wigley signed on signing day.Quote:

Later next week I will throw a few names out we are going to try and close
We need an outside receiver more than a CB.
We signed 3 last year...2 of those were 4-starsQuote:

There is going to be some attrition . And I'm betting some comes from the backend.
Gudiry was the target WR he is a Feb guy and we will target a few more WR but won't just take one because we missed Gudiry.
I keep telling everyone Todd is going to be a player. Couch will be much better next year and have bigger role and Mitchell is very talented.
I agree on what you have said, Rando? I know we can sign back to last year, giving us the potential to sign 30-31 players. With the attrition we have already experienced this year (example Jonas Spivey, et al), can we add these losses to this years signing class? Are we going to end up with 75 scholarship players again this year?Quote:

When we play better teams it usually looks like our WRs are superglued to the opposing DBs.Quote:

If I was taking a chance on an underrated DB I'd offer Amik Robertson from Louisiana.Quote:

I won't believe it until he signs
Braylon Sanders WR from Georgia just set up a visit with us.
He's a 4 star on scout
88 3 star on 247 & an 87 3 star composite.
So Rivals & ESPN must think he's not very good.
Anyway, good to see us getting a visit.
How good is this guy?
Update: Just watched this guy's video & he's a solid player. Likely won't help us at the X receiver as he's only 6'0", but he's got a some Kevin Prentiss in him a slot guy. Actually reminds me a lot of a Gabe Myles type skill set or a kid OM signed last year named Trea Nixon
You obviously take him and would be a good get, but even if we do, we need to have McMath in this class.
Per 24/7, we have 13 receivers on the roster and 2 commits. Do you see any attrition at this position? Surely we haven't missed on on multiple players at receiver. Are we overloaded with slot type players and short on the outside in experience, height, and talent?
Spivey has already announced he is transferring.Quote:

DD Bowie - Says MSU "could" get Bowie, but says he still believes Bowie will sign with OM. Would mean something for Bowie to actually take a visit. Says Bowie hasn't stepped on MSU's campus is a long, long time.
Braylon Sanders - Says this is MSU's best chance to land a WR. Says Sanders is a good player, but won't be ready to play early. Will need a year or so to develop.
So.... that's the update on our stellar WR recruiting. I can't help but wonder how many of those 5 LSU WR transfers MSU could have gotten & used out of high school.
We could have used them all, but couldn't have gotten any. Receiver after receiver continue to go to LSU, catch 5 passes then transfer. Diarse had a nice year for TCU this season.Quote:

I'm not sold Racey is a take for LSU yet. He could by Signing Day but I don't think that's the case now. Watching Braylon Sanders play I think he needs a RS year to get bigger & stronger but he's a good WR. Kam White is a defensive player not WR.
We have non-committed OL visiting this month and working some more.
Any tackles?Quote:
