So it cuts off at 25.

That's correct and I imagine there's going to be a few turned away today as we signed some flips so it will even out. But once Ole Miss gets credit for their full 25 compared to us, more than likely they will pass us. Again, that's fine, it will be really close, it's a win for us after the seasons we've had. But I wouldn't go out and start bragging about this to your Ole Miss neighbor until BOTH signing days are complete!

Who the 17 cares? Jesus, y'all are going to 17 up another thread arguing over stupid points that don't matter. We have had a pretty decent day getting bodies that we need and pulling a few we didn't expect. Staff has worked hard for this and we need players no matter where they come from. If they can play the will make it if not they will get processed, that's the game now. We have more $$ than we ever have lets watch this shake out.

They don't have 25 because they've had several decommit since Sunday. On both sides of the ball. Despite my being told all the recruits love Pete and want to play for him.

I live in AL next to a UGA fan. I doubt I do too much bragging. Ha.

Great class for us though.

Just spoke to a few TCU buddies. They are uhh?..not happy to say the least about missing Henderson. I had 4 texts asking how the hell we stole him from them. My response, $EC

No doubt, huge for helping us get back in the game for sure.

I will say this has been an UNREAL close by Lebby and Co. Flipping Womack, flipping Nickerson, stealing Crittenden and Henderson from P4 schools, and damn near getting White and Albert from Tennessee.
12-03-2025, 12:07 PM

What position is Womack? I don't keep up with recruiting anymore.

Guessing this means the bidding war goes into hyper drive? Or he is signing and asked his school to. Not announce until he does?

We doing some serious roster turnover. We are expecting to grab at least 20 out of the portal or more as well

We are 100% upgrading needs.

Here?s the thing. After 2023, it was going to be a massive process to rebuild the program. We were low on talent. The culture had gone down. We didn?t have even a skeleton of an in house NIL structure.

Some want to skip steps in the process. I get it.

Jeff Lebby walked into an untenable situation. There wasn?t a coach available to us that would have come in and immediately start flipping 4 and 5 star recruits.

However, Jeff came in a damn near flipped a couple. Daniel Hill being one. He closed strong with MVB, Craver, and Stonka that year. Some didn?t pan out. The others transferred out.

Year two, he closed even stronger. He got Tyler Lockhart. He kept Kamario Taylor. He added Ferzell Shepherd.

He has closed strong again. We just missed out on flipping a couple more.

It may not be fast enough for some, but Jeff Lebby knows what he is doing. He?s got the financial backing now. Hit the portal hard. Win 8 next season. We might be at that point where we are actually getting more and more higher rated recruits.

You know the drill, sign with MSU lose a star. The difference in 3 star and 4 star is a hair anyway. No worries.

Lebby did a really good job closing this week. He has gotten well deserved criticism but today was a good day for him and us. We need to go tear it up in the portal.
