Homedawg is a very good knowledgable poster. We don't always agree but he knows his stuff.
AJ was there too reportedly, but not for an OV and not as long as his dad. You might think that's sad too, but he was on campus. His Dad is running his recruitment according to the Bama folks, so 4 hours with him and Mullen is HUGE in my mind. I wouldn't discount it.
I think when this all plays out it's going to be much more clear what was going on. That doesn't mean he signs with State, but the decision-making process is going to be explained regardless. Hang in there and let it play out as MSUDeltadawg1971 recommends below. It's still fluid and the CBs and OM chatter today and tomorrow mean nothing. Monday/Tuesday in Starkville is going to be very interesting.
Not to contradict you, but I heard AJ was on campus for a brief period. Not sure about the Mullen meeting, you may know better on that point. I think his Dad being there is a huge deal though, since many believe that his Dad is the key to his recruitment (including well placed Bama sources).
When is does the final dead period begin?
OM is confident they are about to sign AJ, Jones, and Simmons.
You have been curiously silent on recruiting lately. as has IYOK.
Jones and Simmons? Or do you wait till Monday?
I think everyone needs to relax and let it play out. There's nothing us fans can do to effect things.
I regards to AJ, there was a poster on 247 that stated that he saw AJ on campus and spoke to him. He then asked Paul for confirmation and Paul nor anyone else ever responded.
So, I would say it seems as though we aren't getting AJ but there also seems to be more in play and going on here than what is being reported. Just let it play out. I have the utmost confidence that our coaches have done all that's possible
Maybe Mullen talked to Paul Jones and told him to not report anything on AJ, in fact, if anything, down play AJ to MSU. Even swap your crystal ball prediction**
If OM signs Jones and Simmons, it'll mean we didn't sign a single high school DT in this class..and 2016 was loaded with DT's this year. Huge **** up if that happens.
The main difference between OM and us in big recruiting weekends is that we aren't showers and bullshitters at all, and that's what they excel at.
