The AL schools aren’t going to offer Witherspoon. TN is who we’ve got to worry about. TN has some influence at his school and that’s the offer he’s after. We need him to commit next week.

Would be the most MSU thing ever to be the first big school on a guy, and then he blow up a few weeks before signing day and lose him to friggin Tennessee.Quote:

Can't find a spot for a 6-0 dude that runs a legit 4.4? What about Drummond? We need some playmakers.Quote:

He is as fast as anyone. Mingo and Ashton Nickelberry at Brandon are the only two that come close to himQuote:

Have you seen our RB board. We have missed on everyone. Witherspoon doesn't have any big offers either. I've seen him play, have you?Quote:

To hell with them if they want to play for those shitty people at a place that won't appreciate anything.Quote:

I struggle to see how a person from Mississippi with an ounce of pride in their home state can't be pissed about yesterday.
I don't see in anyway how my statement here would help or hurt our recruiting one bit.
Again......why is ok for every other state's players to come here but it's so terrible when kids want to leave Mississippi?Quote:

I wasn't aware that other state's top players were leaving to come here. Please expound on your point.Quote:

Looked him up... big time prospect. Nice to get a visit, but I'll be shocked if we flip him from Michigan.Quote:

Ahhh... I didn't look close enough. I assumed he was a current commit. Thanks for clarifyingQuote:

“Things” happen in recruiting and anyone that doesn’t understand that by now its best to not follow recruiting
Outside of Ealy who won’t be playing college ball IMO there aren’t any SEC calibure backs in the state
Also there are no SEC calibure juco RB in the state either. From what I have been told. If we go juco route if will be out of state
Witherspoon is our best option ,he might end up being a very good option , and odds are he ends up here.
Also we are very much in the mix for a 5star back in the 2020 class.
If we get the guy next season, we should be fine. Freshmen RBs can play, and we have Gibson 1 more year and Kylin for at least 1, probably 2Quote:

If they have pride in the state and want to play here, great if not how can you fault them for their choice? It is their lives and their decision.Quote:
