Who is committing?
OL Carde Smith has decommitted from Auburn
He did that a few weeks ago. Be a big get if you could reel him in. He could be another Charles Cross type guy.Quote:

We are supposed to get Kyle Johnson, a corner from LA today.
Cunningham is far from over. We may miss out, but I am hoping it becomes a Dylan Raiola and Nebraska type situation.
Well Nevermind lololol. He is Houston boundQuote:

Eh. I like it better honestly. How many guys have we "lost" in recruiting going to a LSU or Alabama because of their brand only to see them transfer to MSU before their careers end? That wasn't an option 10 years ago.Quote:

Why? Because we didn't sign a 3 star kid who was almost committed to Houston before we got on him? He already had a relationship with those coaches too.Quote:

You've got teams paying kids to commit, you've got tampering, it's a lot and it's time to just understand that's how it is. You also still have the relationship side and our staff is a new staff just developing those relationships and with little history to help them. But, we're still recruiting pretty damn solid. You'll see us grab a couple guys next couple weeks.
As far as "Team Rankings" on 24/7, we have 17 commits, but they only give us credit for 3 four stars and 12 three stars. JC LB James and CB Horsley do not have a composite ranking at this time. I assume we would move up if they had the composite?
No, but because of a wide open market and more money involved. Kids are getting way more than they used to when it was under the table. Plus they are universally encouraged to chase the money. It's bizness, you know. We got lucky with KaMario Taylor before he was known, because if he were still available we couldn't afford him and he'd be ranked a lot higher. I definitely prefer having a lot less money to move with instate players and people having to watch their ass. At least some.of the time.Quote:
