Our class isn't currently acceptable with the amount of in-state talent.

As said numerous times Ealy and Black matter only in perception as there is only a very small chance either plays for a D1 program this year.
The only place we are hurting right now is OL and WR and LB. OL is a part result of not having many in state prospects and the surrounding states are really deep either. Cross is a loss but we did well with others.
For WR if I’m Joe I try to throw for 400 yards on SFA just to prove a point. But some feel Jones is a better WR so we could always move him there
LB will be fine I think.
I don't think this class is unacceptable right now. Now we have to finish strong, which is pretty up in the air at the moment
Wow... some of you people need a Xanax and some scotch .
I think I will let IYOK take over for a month or so because this is basically unreadable now
This is a meltdown over what ?
1. A 5star big time RB that 99% of you had no idea we even had a shot at 4 months ago. And it’s not over with him. Yes I thought we would have him in the boat by now , but shit happens in recruiting
2. A WR ( Jackson ) that we had 0 chance of getting up until a few months ago . He commited and flipped . Who was shocked when this happens ?
3. Another WR that up until CJM got here he had 0 interest in us, and was 50/50 at best we landed him.
And it’s just ****ing August. Who knows what May happen between now and Dec/ Feb with these guys
Also on the Umiss recruiting meltdown. They have 27 committed with 11 being on defense and that’s counting Black who odds are won’t qualify and prob flip to UF . So out of those 10 now commited who on there would trade position for position for from our class? I can answer that ****ing none..!!
Y’all act like signing day is tomorrow and we have no back up plans. This staff will work , they know how important it is and the head guy knows it and knows how to recruit.
So agin ****ing kick back and enjoy the season .
I will catch y’all in a few months. I can only imagine how shitty this thread will be over the next few weeks . If anything of great importance comes my way I will pass along on here
Best of luck IYOK you are going to need it.
So Black will be another instate guy signing out of state?
Some fans take this recruiting thing way too serious. We all want state to sign the best players possible, but that's not going to happen. Hell, I'm having trouble recruiting my own kid to state because she has some OM friends in her ear.
Is there any actual recruit news in the last 5-6 pages? This is unreadable.
Look don't you guys realize that our current commits read these boards, especially this one because it's free? Nathan Pickering even said that the MSU fans need to lighten up, I read on another board! All this bitching and moaning is doing nothing but hurting ourselves, it's not helping the staff do their jobs. Please tone this negativity down.
You would think after our most recent basketball season, baseball season and Ginn signing that folks would've learned to let things play out instead of panicking and maybe just maybe things will be alright in the end.
If the class bombs there'll be plenty of time to get the pitch forks and torches ready***
Especially the stuff directed at specific players. Whether what you say is 100% true or just a hunch, it doesn’t need to be said and only hurts us. Some of these guys may have second thoughts about the school they want to attend or may turn things around but they see State fans over here blasting them. It may not be a big factor but it still undercuts any work the coaching staff is doing.
It’s true. No matter how many want to live indenile that recruits can read stuff on the internet, it is true. Some will say “well they shouldn’t care about what I post.” Well, that’s true too, but let’s not be naive. We live in a world where all it takes is a couple of hard-headed morons to make an entire group look bad. But I understand thinking with logic is like a sin to some.
I won't disagree with the premise, but I think this lecture would be better saved for Twitter users. I have a son around this age, and Twitter is much more popular than message boards. Message boards are kinda old school these days. Again, no argument on the premise...
Our fan base would much rather take to social media for a negative than a positive. But then we are shocked we don't finish well in recruiting.
And we still have fans that think social media's place in recruiting is overblown. We are still light years behind as a fan base in understanding modern day recruiting.
Honestly the recruiting thread should be private to all people not signed in.
I absolutely 100% support making recruiting its own invite only board. Some of you guys are pathetic and make us look terrible.
No one should ever say anything negative about a kid.... its too easy to just not say anything at all, it literally takes zero effort to say nothing.
With that said.... Do the things MSU fans say about recruits only affect us? I think our fans are pretty mild compared to most of the big-boy recruiting schools; they seem to overcome their "negative" fans somehow. GTFOH with that self-righteous, white-knighting, shit.
Po' ole mitttitppi tate, we's cant never have nuthin' good 'cause our fans say bad stuff... and we aint got no mall.
Toughen-up, and on the same side of that coin, don't say dumb shit about 16 y/o boys.
