He gone. Had little interest in us once he started getting offers. We weren’t even his 2nd option.

The truth is in most year MS only has 3-5 guys that the LSU's and Bama's want and push for, this class has 15+. So it's not that this class doesn't like MS relative to past classes, nor is it that we've always gotten our pick of guys and it's just the scraps that are leaving. There's a lot more guys leaving this year because there's a lot more guys with the opportunity to leave. Is what it is, just have to rely on out of state guys to fill in
Just bringing in the news to this thread. Emery commits to UGA.
And we don’t need another possession receiver. Plus, remind me what Williams has done when he’s actually done it in a game. People are waaaay over buying on his stock. He’s no big play guy. He’s a smart guy. We need big play potential. But, Rayburn is probably going to get his shot.
Maybe not
But it will be a lot easier to flip from UGA than LSU ...
I put it out there then all the so called recruiting experts followed suit saying that Emery would commit to state And I always thought it would be a battle to keep him . We now have a bigger battle on our hands that’s to flip him .. and from what I have heard The Dad is who’s pro UGA which is conflicting news that was reported by Rosebowl since he “talked to the dad”..
Let’s see what happens I don’t know about IYOK but I will stay on Emery Island until he signs.. Because I don’t think he shuts it down.. we shall see
We need big play potential RIGHT NOW, but 3-5 years from now (when you can expect most '19 commits to be starters) we'll need both big play and possession receivers. You can't just ignore one because it looks like the current roster is stacked with them- Mitchell, Jackson, Mixon, Dear, Thomas, Couch will all be gone when Rayburn/whatever 2019 kid is in his prime.
Note that I'm not saying anything about Rayburn, I know nothing about him. I'm merely saying that we also need to recruit possession guys along with home run outside threats
I think Emery ends up at LSU. I think this is just the flip set up for them.
You guys would recruit like Mullen. He would’ve already offered Rayburn. He has no offers. No need to jump on that right now.
Recruiting has developed into a travel ball culture where coaching and system don't matter. All that matters is the status of the helmet and playing with others you consider yourself equal too
Best RB I've seen is Ealy, and that includes Emery. If we can possibly flip him, that would be fantastic. Everybody says he's a great baseball player and will probably sign a contract, but I think we should go all out to get him if we possible can.
So I was blasted when I said we should be worried when Georgia ramped up their pursuit of of Emery....
Our quick success with commits for this class gave me maroon colored glasses, but it probably wouldn't be anywhere near this if the Country Club was still there. We have 8 of the top 25 committed, although 1 is predicted by some to flip. There are 4 of the top 25 uncommitted who are warmer (1) or warm (3) to us according to 24/7. I thought we were closer to the day that bama, AU, and other blue bloods couldn't cherry pick so easily. Only beating them regularly will stop this. Moving from the higher plateau that Dan carried us to is appreciated but the climb higher only comes from knocking others down the mountain. What have we had, one winning record in the SEC in the last ? years? Big year on the field will help change minds. Bring it on. Hail State!
Question for the recruiting guys here (I have nowhere near the knowledge you guys have). When will the class of 2020 'crooting really get rolling? I have my eye on a 2020 qb but I'm not familiar enough with recruiting to know the process.
Jackson flips. Welcome to the SEC West/Mississippi-branch CJM! Mingo or bust now!
He’s been committed to 3 schools in 3 months. He’s struggling with recruiting. He’ll be back on the market later.
Who was the 14 year old Mullen had recruited years ago? ESPN I believe wrote an article about it. Can’t seem to find it though, maybe I imagined it.
Also, another young name to watch for is PJ Lindsay out of NWRankin.
