Ari, any update on another possible commit this weekend?
Why are families so stupid?Quote:

Part of it is how he was sold during the recruiting process. The fact of the matter is most players don't want to hear "redshirt, work hard, and then maybe you'll start as redshirt junior after playing special teams as a RS freshman and being a back-up as a RS sophomore". Of course with Hevesy he probably barely got any phone calls but that's another ball of wax. Because recruiters do have to show their recruits some attention.Quote:

And I think that this is changing for the better at MSU. So, it's not as much of an issue as it was.
Fact is, our last staff didn't think he was good enough for an offer. He got one, yes, but because of pressure and the whole legacy thing. Trust me they didn't want him. And quite frankly the effort proved that. I can't speak for the current staff as far as evaluation. I do know they tried hard, but doesn't mean the liked him. They came in with their hands tied. I would let him go to juco and go from there.
Xavier Hill commits to Bama
We are starting to lose more and more players to them and it's disturbing.
Dang he?s from OB too, we?ve been doing well there lately. Bama only has 3 OL committed and all are 3 stars. I can?t imagine them not being in it with multiple 5 stars so could be a decent chance he doesn?t end up thereQuote:

No sir you were not disrespectful. I'm only saying there is nothing alarming of a kid choosing Alabama over Mississippi state football.Quote:

Not sure how you can rate it "great". I think the grade on this class is still very much in the air. It will have to finish strong though to be "great"Quote:

Not sure what's disturbing about kids choosing to play for the best coach at arguably the most prestigious football university of all time.
Well Gun, Lil Nicky must be showing him his rings.Quote:
