You smart enough to know how to read? I didn't make a definitive stance on Reed vs. Dean bc I honestly don't know. You, and people like you, list off offers from places a kid couldn't commit to. If UGA and Bama were willing to take Dean then why in the blue hell would his final 2 be State and South Carolina? Because those were camp offers. And all offers aren't created equally. But the smart MFers don't know that apparently.Quote:

It's far far far more scientific than you think. Obviously quarterback & some skill positions like WR are a little more difficult to nail for the recruiting services, but most positions are not.
Oh goodness. Don't bring that garbage here.Quote:

Well most of those divisions titles are to one team so I reckon we are all sucking ass in recruiting if you wanna put it that way. If you are hinging your MSU football recruiting happiness level on that system you will never be satisfied. Even if Dabo comes here you will still be in this thread bitching up a storm.Quote:

You take your 85 players with offers from OM and UK and have Tom Lunginbil and J.C. Sherbet or what ever their names are and have them coach them since they are the ones that have them rated.Quote:

Neither is an exact science but I will trust coaches over so called recruiting gurus
Me , nor IYOK has never said taking more higher ranked players won’t help a program
Shit I would love to sign 28 4star guys every year
The things we have been saying that falls on deaf years is this:
This staff works hardener and puts more emphasis on recruiting than Dan and his staff did
This staff works outside the state of Miss and our contort recruiting zone better than Dan and his state did
The rating system on 3 and 4 star players isn’t an exact science. By saying that I ( can’t speak for IYOK ) would take a 3 star guy with a better offer sheet than a 4 star guy with less offers. So I trust coaches more than the so called experts
I wouldnt take Franks over Stevens. Franks is Chris Relf. Maybe a little better passer but not by much. Are you really going to sit here and act like UF has had a good QB since Mullen left them??? UF went years after Tebow not pissing a drop on offense. Will Grier was the best one and he got kicked out. UF signed 4 and 5 star QB by the boatload. Nick Fitzgerald and Dak had better careers than all of them. And more wins. Same thing has happened at Texas, Michigan, even A&M to an extent except for Manziel.Quote:

Then there's the draft where a players ability to get drafted drops monumentally as you go down the star ladder. I just don't understand why people either just don't want to hear the facts or wrestle with them. Either way the info is out there.Quote:

Then bitch up a storm about it for months on end. We consistently win more ball games than the teams that recruit around us (15-25 range). You are a professional melter when it comes to our football team man.Quote:

Also Some of you need to put to rest the I hate Joe Moorhead banners and get on board with this coach and staff.
I don't really give a damn who their offers are from. This is the same thing that happened in Moneyball. People who shout out offers and tape are the equivalent of the old school scouts who were holding on to the past like dinosaurs while the nerds did the homework and created the edge that now the majority of baseball and basketball use as their managing style of talent acquisition (soon to be all of the NFL too). I'll take the higher rated player all day every single day. And I will win if coaching is even remotely even. It's not an exact science, but it's the most exact science available. Start talking to people about film and offers and then you dive off into arbitrary characteristics that have no tangible meaning. Anyone can debate film or what offer is a real vs fake offer. It's really not all that hard to grasp if you know how a calculator functions.Quote:

There's a reason no coaches give a flying shit about the rankings. The only people that do are the ones that want to have a dick measuring contest in June and on signing dayQuote:

For that matter Sweat and Abram both ended as 3?s in juco.. you think those were 3 star players???
Just chill out. Enjoy the good news coming ..
This thread has gone off the rails so I'll just post this & let the back & forth continue. On signing I expect MSU to sign between 7-10 4* or better recruits.
That's adding at least 6 (or jumps) and we have 19 commits at the moment. I don't even pretend to know the recruiting circuit as well as you, but I do think that's a very rosy outlook. I'd feel comfortable taking the under on 7 4-starsQuote:

Tea leaves read pretty strong for us to land Dillon Johnson and Tulu.
I think Heath is going to be a 4*, definitely had the pedigree. Most think we lead there, but I'm a little concerned he remains uncommited. Jordan Davis is a 4* and we are in the thick of it there.
I think we are definitely in the game for Xavier Hill and he is going to end up being a 4*.Same goes for Eason who is already a 4*. Selmon could get a bump back to 4*s if he's healthy and improves this season.
That's 10 guys right there. Wouldn't be shocked if one of the JuCo DL we have committed shows out this fall and gets re-ranked. The guys are out there to get to that number. A lot of it is going to depend on how we look this year.
And I'll be happy if that's the case. That would mean we are on pace to compete.Quote:

We come to message boards to discuss and debate. Not just read a commit list
