Ole Miss has offered 2014 MRA OL Sean Rawlings
If this is the worst they can do with a merry flipmas then I think I'll just roll over and go back to sleep. Like somebody said in an earlier thread - this time last year they were after the #2 recruit in the nation. This year they are after a two star private school kid. I still find it funny that they say they can't even invite Aeris Williams up there on an OV because numbers are too tight but they have room for Rawlings. Riiiiiiiiiiiiighhhhhhttttt.....makes perfect sense.
You got it.. They lost the egg bowl and aren't makin the big splash in recruiting that they did last year. This is a way to keep up the perception that they are on top. If Rawlings was committed to ULL he wouldn't even get a phone call from OM, but freeze gets wood over flipping State recruits and it keeps the sheep happy because they won the recruiting championship again. It's already been mentioned but it's becoming obvious that freeze can't evaluate or develop talent he relies on others to do that for him. With or without Rawlings we will skull drag them again in Oxford and I don't think it will even be close this year. All I know is if I was committed to any school other than state and they came in at the last second I would be in Starkville because myself and my family are die-hard MSU, so i can live with this kid flipping.Quote:

No...but I get sick of Bucky doing this type crap!
He doesn't 'do' this type crap, at least not successfully. They pulled exactly 0 of our guys last year, unless you actually consider Kailo Moore a legitimate commit, and they only might pull Rawlings last year.
This not close to being correctQuote:

I don't think it's Bucky, necessarily. The alumni love to screw with State people. They did this with Orgeron and Nutt, they are doing it with Freeze.
Brassell, Singleton, Ward, CJ, but they swung and missed on Chris Jones.
this is the first player he has ever "flipped"Quote:

Good for him. He needed to go there- that's his team.Quote:

He would certainly not be the first player to have grown up a fan of one school and end up going somewhere else to play ball. He may have a better relationship with our coaches and goodness knows we have a MUCH better track record of developing players since Mullen has been at MSU than OM does. Seems to be an upstanding kid with an upstanding family so let them make the decision and life will go on either way. Yes, it would sting a little to lose Rawlings and I want him but this isn't a Chris Jones level player we are talking about here.Quote:

What Twitter account are you looking at. Saw one that had msu commit still
Yep, pretty shocking that Freeze is willing to take the hit on their recruiting ranking they will get by taking Rawlings.Quote:

I even hope he gets to play this year in egg bowl. He should handle chris jones easily**Quote:

I hate that it went down this way, but if UM is where Rawlings really and truly wants to be, then that's where he should go.
And contrary to popular belief amongst UM fans, Rawlings is not a wasted scholarship- he's a good player.
The only people I've seen say he's a wasted scholarship are OM fans.Quote:

I just wish we could somehow pull sims. This would ease any hurt I may feel
Exactly. If this is what he wants, good for him. He chose his family's loyalty to UM over a better professional situation at MSU. That's his choice to make.Quote:

Screw it. Who do we have waiting in line? We will see him next year because his redshirt year probably disappears at OM.
Delete. I don't see that background
No sweat. Delete.

Yeah I trusted what someone said. That was part I didnt like. I deleted what I said. Edit out my comment pleaseQuote:

It's just a guy who is getting a late offer from a school he's always been a fan of. I'm happy for him either way. And either way, we're going to continue to beat UM on the field.
On his twitter? its not the background behind his picture its the wallpaper background behind everything.Quote:

So right now we sit with Johnson, Harris and Calhoun and likely to get Stallings since OM won't offer him given they've gone after Rawlings and a shot at Sims but he's another we are likely to lose to OM. The guys we end up with may or may not work out well but I continue to say that as far as getting guys in demand we do worse on OL recruiting than any other position on the team.
He's right. It's there on computer but not iPhone appQuote:
