Would that be an ok 40 time if moved to SS or FS?

So how justified is it to be really disappointed we didn't bring anybody in this weekend that could have been a longshot? There have to be some late bloomers like Lockhart in LA, TX, FL that are committed to smaller schools that we could have at least kicked the tires on to use as backup plans. I have no idea how many official we have left in the bank though.
I think that's a legitimate complaint. It's unfortunate Johnson or Deke Adams or Richardson or even Hughes couldn't bring someone in..anyone.
I think we got caught off guard by a couple of guys and of course we messed up not taking Bedford and Lockhart in December.
Basically self imposed sanctions by signing under two years in a row.
I thought at first the early signing period would really help a program like ours. I was then very disappointed that we only signed 14 that day. More than happy about a guy like Pickering and his plan and class act, but have not felt good about any of our other commits that wouldn't sign on that day. They have been recruited again ever harder by our competition for the coming Feb signing date. I think only getting 14 on the dotted line that day was pitiful compared to other schools and their #'s of signees. Still hoping we finish somewhat strong. To end up with available spots and needs will be a real downer. JMO, and I don't think the coaching turnover helped at all short term.
I'm concerned about the future of MSU football recruiting. The way the '19 Mississippi class scattered in the wind and we end up with 20ish looks terrible.
We screwed up the early signing period. We couldn?t get kids signed and now we?re offering guys like Lawerence and Buys and neither are worth even looking at. USM didn?t even offer Lawrence and he?s in their backyard. Baker cost us at least one player and possibly two- that mother 17r. We need Emerson and Mingo. But I?m not counting on them.
Damn you guys follow kids too closely and care wayyyy too much. I didn't know a large number of men could be so depressing. Some of you guys need help. Bipolar disorder is at its finest here. One day everything is ok the next tweet about the sun rising in Asia and the world is ending again. From one page to the next is pure mental anguish happening.
I don't understand the "recruit-guru-HS-kid-jock-sniffer" types. There have been dozens of "backup-plan" guys here that turned out great. If we sign a Banks/BMac rated kid tomorrow some of y'all will have a hemorrhage. I will reserve my meltdown for two years from now when we see who the real players are.
Of course some of you will argue we can't field a team of backup plan guys...... 'cause you don't reed two gud.
Were banks and BMac late scrambles? I can't remember for sure. Another thing to consider when comparing low rated players we take now compared to Mullen is Mullen proved he had an eye for underrated players. Pretty sure most of Mullen's good diamonds were early takes though, not late
Talking recruiting is nothing like this. All of the belly aching woe is me is ridiculous. The truth is if these kids didn't have an athletic gift most of these guys would give no s***s about them. So whatever makes these kids happy i'm all for it. All of the hypotheses for every recruit is insane.
