MSU Recruiting Update/Overview

I've got commits, a few notes, and who could be next. Enjoy and discuss gents

nicely done - thanks .... seems we are offering several guys who are either flying way under the radar or just relatively unknown but by now I've learned to trust Dan's eye for talent .... one player turned down Oklahoma and another LSU ... tempting programs for a HS recruit ..... I also noticed that the bears haven't yet offered several of those guys, wonder how many will end up with an invitation to the Library in January

Thanks. Count me as a casual recruiting observer- I don't follow much except January and February. I know I'll be excited if/when Aeris commits, and looks like Big Dawg could be big.

I am a little concerned that our rankings won't be up to snuff this year because numbers are tight, and folks will freak out. If we have a step back on the field this season the "Mullen has reached his ceiling" crowd will come out of the woodwork.

Graham is big time. Johnson fits a need and is good in his own right. Cathey, Durr, and Rayford show our staffs eye for talent. Rayford very well could be our jewel this year. Kid is from an under the radar area and is only 16. Physically he's a freak and again, only 16

I agree Johnson fits a HUGE need .. Hopefully we pick up 2 more soild OL. would love to get a stud from the high school ranks and RS him..
With the RB situation I wouldnt be surprised if Shumpert ends up on the Defensive side of the ball before too long.. I think He will RS and get his shot at RB this season but if we sign 2 or 3 TRUE RB Shump may switch sides. I heard he is a BEAST on def..

When is Big Dawg camp?

This class will be measured by star average due to our low numbers. But I'm pretty sure you can count on alot of our fans freaking out regardless.

110% freak out..

MSU fans recruiting composure reminds me off the kid in super troopers in the back of the car who ate all the shrooms when they got pulled over "I'm freakin out man!!"

This is a certainty. To an extent, they already are. My take is if our staff likes them this early, I'll trust their judgment. It's when we start offering some no name that no one wants and has no offers in December, that bothers me.

looks like we are targeting some slot recvrs early .... question- who will play our slot this season and what to expect from that position ? (we have leaned on Bumphis for a while now - wondering how the loss of him will effect us )

Tubby, Tubby, Tubby

We'll see what Jameon is made of this season.

Are there any Qb's on the radar that may be interested in us? It sure seems like it's a long shot for Cord to make it to campus.

I hope that you will start doing this on a regular basis. That was a great read and should serve as a good centerpiece for some recruiting talk. Well done.

Yes- There is a kid that de-committed from Vandy and now has us as his leader- Staley I think is his name. He is also 4-star basketball player- and wehave assured him he can play both. Coach Ray has helped us here also

Looks like we're back to chasing midget-sized WRs. *sigh*

We've GOT to get a legit dual threat QB in this class that actually makes it to campus. If we don't, it'll be the end of Dan. No QB after Dak will be too much to overcome.

We signed one in Williams in this last class. That kid is going to be ok- but obviously we need to close with the Staley kid also

Slot is a need. Jameon is a Jr. Holloway showed in spring that he deserves RB reps. Our 2013 slot signee Donald Gray probably won't qualify. We need slots


ETA- We signed a bunch of outside WRs last year. Our main 2 outside WR targets this year are Jesse Jackson and Pack. Pack won't stick at FSU I don't think

There is absolutely no way that will work if he wants to be a legit SEC QB. WR and basketball? Sure. SEC QB and basketball? No way. Kid would have to be AMAZINGLY talented.
