Who is committing?
OL Carde Smith has decommitted from Auburn
He did that a few weeks ago. Be a big get if you could reel him in. He could be another Charles Cross type guy.Quote:

We are supposed to get Kyle Johnson, a corner from LA today.
Cunningham is far from over. We may miss out, but I am hoping it becomes a Dylan Raiola and Nebraska type situation.
Well Nevermind lololol. He is Houston boundQuote:

Eh. I like it better honestly. How many guys have we "lost" in recruiting going to a LSU or Alabama because of their brand only to see them transfer to MSU before their careers end? That wasn't an option 10 years ago.Quote:

Why? Because we didn't sign a 3 star kid who was almost committed to Houston before we got on him? He already had a relationship with those coaches too.Quote:

You've got teams paying kids to commit, you've got tampering, it's a lot and it's time to just understand that's how it is. You also still have the relationship side and our staff is a new staff just developing those relationships and with little history to help them. But, we're still recruiting pretty damn solid. You'll see us grab a couple guys next couple weeks.
As far as "Team Rankings" on 24/7, we have 17 commits, but they only give us credit for 3 four stars and 12 three stars. JC LB James and CB Horsley do not have a composite ranking at this time. I assume we would move up if they had the composite?
No, but because of a wide open market and more money involved. Kids are getting way more than they used to when it was under the table. Plus they are universally encouraged to chase the money. It's bizness, you know. We got lucky with KaMario Taylor before he was known, because if he were still available we couldn't afford him and he'd be ranked a lot higher. I definitely prefer having a lot less money to move with instate players and people having to watch their ass. At least some.of the time.Quote:

Now, things could change again and will, so we'll have to see then what it looks like, but I'm good with the current situation until it's moved to the schools. I've got a bigger problem with $10MM+ coaching salaries.Quote:

Probably going to get some good news later this week.
No complaints on the efforts of the staff to secure players.
went from 44 to 33 who did they get ??
CB Derrion Horsley, .87 and LB LaKendrick James, .86 finally got their composite rating. Now all 17 of our commits are counted in the team rankings as we now have 3 4 star and 14 3 stars. Nearly all of our commits' composite scores are lower than the 24/7 ranking. Can someone tell me what services rankings that are included in the composite? ThanksQuote:

After 25 years of following MSU recruiting I’m pretty sure we will ALWAYS land between 20-35 in recruiting rankings with rare outliers in the positive or negative. I’ve more or less lost interest in it especially with the transfer portal and NIL.Quote:

So, David Turner just lost a 4-star instate DT that we really wanted to...wait for it...not LSU, Bama or even om...to Arkansas...friggin Arkansas!!! How could you possibly not outsell a lame duck coach for a terrible program, who will probably be no better than 6-6 this year...for an instate kid??? He's pretty much gone O-fer for every decent instate DL over the last 3 recruiting cycles...its time
It was time before we even brought him back. Still no clue why he was brought back, much less kept.Quote:

We need to figure out why we are not attracting the best players in state.
Welcome to the NIL era. If this doesn't put the program in the coffin, nothing will.
Broke ass dogs, and a broke ass fan base will be bottom dwellers for now on without doing something besides bitching about everything.
make those players feel preciated
We aren’t broke. FAR far from it actually. We’re middle of the pack in terms of NIL.Quote:
