Like Ravien Pierce ... a lot of drama and on again/off again stuff. Probably won't do much in college if I had to guess ... regardless of talent. Or maybe we just ain't the right fit for him.Quote:

Sometimes it?s best to just to expend energy and time on other recruits. If HE wants us to be serious (after sticking with him for a long time, after injury and poor senior year) he needs to show up on a visit and things need to straighten out. It’s his recruitment and he needs to take better controlQuote:

As someone looking in that doesn't have any ties to our recruiting, it's very rare that we have a kid that is committed to us that eventually decommits for a "better" school and is successful.
Additionally, most anyone that ends up with character issues is a bust. A lot of folks said we needed to stay away from Deon Mix. That one worked out really well for us in the end. And if you happen to notice, Auburn is all about those types of kids. That's not an accident and it's definitely had an impact on their team culture. I know that from a lot of Auburn folks on the inside b
We did risk it with two of the three. They chose to play games and go elsewhere. And if you don’t think Young is better than all three, then I can’t help you. Hell, Lockhart is better than two of them.Quote:

As I’ve said before, we aren’t missing out on Hall. He is a camp phenom that blew up in the summer, there’s just the little problem that he’s not a football player. He was the absolute softest kid I watched closely all fall. Like a coach at Gulfport said, “ he’s a bright kid, he’s going to make someone a good engineer someday”.Quote:

It’s kids like Dak that drive a team like MSU up a level. You can manage a couple of difficult kids but you have to mindful of the ratio in your locker room.
You sign too many 3 stars and you can't beat BamaQuote:
