Pnut, I'm starting to think that Dontario Drummond is legit. Might be the 2nd best receiver on our team this year. I hope we turn up the heat. Any idea who are competition would be?
69 yard TD reception tonight for Drummond. 10 TD's last year. Had anyone from the laurel area seen him play in high school?
He and Reddix can both play. I doubt we take more than one Juco though because we’ve got a couple coming next year. Drummond is getting a look but we aren’t pulling the trigger yet. Still looking at a couple others but we aren’t getting the OM commit. I think he gets the offer unless we pull somebody out of state.
I haven't seen Drummond play personally but I've talked to folks who say he's legit. He looks good on film my only question is he's only around 6'1" how well will he handle playing outside in the SEC.
I think it?s imperative that we go all in on a big JUCO WR. Also. Mingo is a must
I don't see us getting Mingo.Quote:

We have a Hill to climb for sure. From what i understand We don?t have many fans on the coaching staff at Brandon.Quote:

You know who the OC is at Brandon rightQuote:

Was told...
We are still In the game for Turnage and Hall. Also for Dean as well. Basically if any or all 3 of these kids stay in state we are the school .
We think Cross will flip from FSU To MSU before all is said and done
We are really focused on OL right now
May get a commit This weekend 2020 kid
I asked about Mingo. Still have a shot but not too optimistic right now. Also my guy believes if Mingo ends up in Oxford look for them to move him to the defensive side. That’s where he will be needed most. I’m guessing we will use that in recruiting him.
We are looking juco route for an outisde WR .
I didn’t ask to much was pressed for time.
That’s the info. Do with it what u want. I’m out till next report which will be before Fla game. Unless something important happens .
Thanks as always boss!Quote:

Tyree would be huge. My Penn State family likes him (not in a Sandusky way either).
There's not a lot of big star recruits in this week but there are a lot of under the radar kids that I think we offer at some point.
At this point I would be happy to pull 1 of Hall, Dean, Turnage, Cross or Mingo. Two would be a coup. I also think the most likely scenario is we wiff on all 5 but I don't claim to KNOW shit.Quote:

We'll end up with a nice class, but it we'll always ask "what could have been?"
Not sure Moorheads' staff will ever see a more loaded year in Mississippi from which to capitalize. Feels like we have come so far as a program only to see us not be able to finish the deal or even get some instate kids interested us.
And y'all get mad at me when I say this year is our window for the foreseeable future. The west is getting tougher, not easierQuote:

I do think we'll continue to be competitive, but you're right in that if we are this terrible at closing on in-state recruits, we have ZERO shot at taking the next as a program.
We can throw out all the excuses in the world, but those are just excuses, even if valid. Our roster isn't helped by excuses.
I know this is Moorhead's first full recruiting class, but Hugh Freeze finished #8 in recruiting with his first class. I know he cheated his ass off to do so, but the point remains. Being new at a school doesn't always mean that recruiting takes years of building relationships.
1. Cross wasn't coming to State. Too many personal things involved. It wasn't going to happen.Quote:

3. Mingo wasn't recruited as a WR by the last staff. They barely even recruited him. Got in late on that one.
4. Jackson doesn't know what he wants. His cousin played at State and we never made him a priority. Mullen again....
5. We missed on Hall in all likelihood.
6. Dean was leaving MS regardless. Nothing we can do there.
7. Same with Young. He was looking to leave out.
8. Plumlee is no superstar. I'll be surprised if he starts for UGA. If he does, it'll have to be safety because he's not a CB even with his straight-line speed- Them hips though
9. Handy, where do I start. He's not even the best defensive player at Hattiesburg. He wasn't at Perry Central either. He's got a lot of baggage.
We missed on one, maybe two guys with this staff. They're not miracle workers. And lets keep an eye on a couple of these because they're not as solid as some people think.
Again, everything you just said makes sense, but it doesn't help our roster. I'm not looking to blame someone. I am simply saying that we CANNOT take the next step when missing on this many in-state players. We just cannot. We've got to start from that fact & reverse engineer from there.Quote:

You mention Cross having personal things involved but it's still a missed opportunity regardless.
You mention Dean & Young not considering Mississippi schools. Why? A missed opportunity.
One of my biggest pet peeves with MSU fans is how we say it isn't a loss if the kid didn't show legit interest in us. It's a miss if it's an in-state kid regardless because that HAS to be our honey hole & we cannot compete at the highest level without landing the best Mississippi players.
Regardless of the reasons, this year's in-state class is unacceptable & a miss opportunity.
Listen to Cooter and just wait to see what happens come December. There's a few surprises that'll be here before it's all said and done. Patience, Joe Moorhead is gonna be the most successful coach we've ever had.
Sorry Coach Don Merlin.....Fabien found out you were a one trick pony!!...he'll be chompin' on your gator butt in the near future!!

Bottom line is Moorhead is a heck of a good guy and a heck of a good football coach. And I think we have a lot of good coaches on staff. Question is though is he and the staff willing to do some of the cutthroat things you have to do to be successful recruiting in the SEC, which I would think is unlike recruiting he has had to deal with in any other conference he has coached in? Yes, Hugh Freeze was successful recruiting right off the bat but we all know he had no reservations bending and breaking rules on a routine basis and really had no ethical standards about it whatsoever. Certainly don't want to go there but its just a question? Sorry, but I can't help but think we went from big time leader on Emery to not even in consideration because other people got involved and other things got involved. And the closer you get to signing day and the higher rating your prospect gets, it only gets worse.Quote:

As long as we stay within "guidelines" and do the same as the blue bloods, I'm fine with it. Tsun stepped out of bounds because they had no choice lest they remain #2 in MS and a SEC bottom bottom feeder. No matter how many mascot changes or image do overs they attempt, they will always be Ole Miss which requires "special" crootin'.Quote:

I guess the question is Coach JoMo fine with it? I know we were very much handcuffed on the recruiting front while Croom was here (not that we had much to offer on the field anyway).Quote:
