Did Hubbard announce yesterday?
Yes. He chose to go to school rather than play football.Quote:

Of course people said the same thing about JT Ginn so who knows. But if I had to bet I'd say he goes the baseball route
Someone, who once predicted a win in a bowl in Califonia indicated that "OL recruitiing has not changed." For what it is worth...Quote:

Yeah, I don't agree with that yet. Mullen would not have commited Cunningham, and probably not Washington either.Quote:

What about Stevie Ballard out of Central Hinds? I don't know much about him, just saw him on Chris brook's all capitol team. He has great size at 6'6'' 300. Committed to LA Tech. I know we have been fishing in deeper ponds but you never know with misssissippi back wood kids like this.
2 Star, no offers.Quote:

Adding nine players to our class is a lot more likely than two more.Quote:

See Elgton Jenkins. Sure some of them won't pan out. But some of them will. And then we have the JUCO's in Mississippi as a great fallback option to fill in for some of the misses with guys like Martinas Rankin.Quote:

I would rather sign a full class and "cut" some as needed than undersign leaving us below 85 next season.Quote:

Mullen and co pulled ahead of us... he's at 4-star avg per recruit now. This isn't surprising considering where he's at
Yeah but they have Diwun's commitment, who is almost a 5* lolQuote:

Other than Ike and Burdine, not much to see. Couple RBs we don’t have much of a shot at. Praying to flip a guy. It’s pretty dead until the end of the month probably.
Gotta flip Gray and get one other. Hopefully we can get a linebacker and a good DB. We will get Sharp, I feel pretty certain. We will also have to keep our class together after the season when the cash begins to flow more.
The results aren't there yet? Our entire class is results being there.Quote:

I give credit to position coaches for landing players at their position
I'm not saying that these guys are doing a bad job. By all indications they are doing a great job & the process & communication with recruits is at an all time high.
However, our better recruits, other than Schrader who had a previous relationship with Moorhead, is heavily weighted towards the hold over position coaches from Mullen's staff.
So my point remains, while the process of our recruiting appears to be better, the news guys haven't seen results yet.
