We got a new commit today. Defensive back from Raymond I think.
Trent Singleton. Good athlete, even better kid. Probably going to end up a safety for us.Quote:

The RB is a two sport kid too. He?s a freak on the Diamond. Good kid too from everything I hear. When I was coaching at newton academy their was rumors of him talking about transferring over. He was friends with kempQuote:

I wonder why we are not even getting a mentioned from the good RB from Germantown High in Gluckstadt, Ms?Quote:

I?ve watched over 90% of Germantown games over the 9-10 yrs of their existence. The defensive lineman coming to MSU this fall and the X-man & the running back being seniors this fall at GHS are 3 dandies.
Also, FWIW, I didn?t lose any sleep over Nigel Knott going to Bama as I had a feeling he wasn?t going to be able to stay healthy. Absolute great kid&teammate and super fast but just wasn?t real strong and was hurt some before he left GHS.
Branson Robinson is an old school downhill RB he's not interested in 8-10 carries & 8-10 swing passes. He's going to UGA to Nick Chubb 2.0Quote:

4* DE Donterry Russell committed to us tonight.
Younger brother of Demonte Russell, who is already on the team. Not really a surprise, but a good get regardless.
Leach and the crew are bringing in nice talent. I'm also glad to see the Mississippi recruits finally becoming rated properly and respectable.
Mason Miller signaling another commit.
Stone Blanton?
This looks to be a solid class we are building. Obviously it wont stay in the top ten rankings wise but if it ends in the top 20 thats a great class.
Our recruiting strategy is very conservative. We are content to take as many .86 - .87 3 Star guys as early in the process as possible. We are ranked high because of all the early commits and that is obvious. Ole Miss has taken an almost opposite strategy. Considering the year we had last year I'm OK with our approach. MSU and Leach remain an unknown quantity. Hopefully we look radically different in 2021.
Some of that is because a lot of Mississippi recruits are rated late in the process. We have at least two commits off the top of my head that will likely be four stars by the time NSD rolls around.Quote:

That leads to massive holes that usually get exploited by the Alabama's of the world.
Secondary recruiting was rough last cycle- but look how Leach has responded with this class.
Well last year we had almost a complete staff, save Tony Hughes, moving in here from 3,000 miles away in a year where all they could do with recruits was have Zoom calls. So they were basically recruiting with one hand tied behind their back.Quote:

HUUUGGGGGGEEEEEE
#1 Olinemen in Alabama.
WOW
Get em dogs!!!
Which site is showing that? I thought Riley quick was a high 4 star out of ALQuote:

Quick is scheduled for a visit too.
Any reason our 4-star recruits all got dropped to 3 star. I swear I was on 247 a few days ago and thought we had 3 4-star kids. Checked today and they are all 3-star. Seemed odd but maybe I misremember. Stars don't matter for this offense (or defense for that matter) so much as fit for the scheme but I just found it odd.
Yes, they asked those guys who they were thinking about committing to and when they said Mississippi State they dropped em a star.
I’m only half joking
That happens to players that commit to us, they all go down in ranking, no matter what they do their senior season.
They are still the same quality players.
It's because the ESPN rankings were released and that killed their 24/7 composite rankings.Quote:

Thought about that the other day. It was a really cool and smart tool when they started it. It gave them some credibility as a new company. Now, it doesn’t make sense to use it. I’m okay with Rivals rankings, but the issue with them is they don’t have a Rivals guy for every team so some schools aren’t represented in recruiting rankings like they should be.Quote:
