Seriously though, this kid is going to be a good one. Glad he's cleared.
Anfernee was never in trouble of qualifying like Steve was trying to make it. He's been good to go for a while.
Back to Mullins Turner & Diaz think he's the most underrated kid in the class. They think he has a NFL future.
Can we nickname this guy "Penny"?
Lets please not turn this into another Rosebowl bashing thread. I was thinking the other day about how much his combines help talent get uncovered in this state. IMO, what he does, along with many others, is one of the reasons we aren't seeing NFL caliber talents go to USM & the SWAC anymore. The talent is getting uncovered earlier than it used to.Quote:

Rosebowl is running scouting combines and uncovering talent for coaches? Seriously?
I think it helps & I think it helps narrow down the talent pool that our coaches want to bring to camp.Quote:

With these types of combines, the chances of a special talent slipping through the cracks, decreases
Many of you view our coaches as super human, talent evaluators that work 24/7, but the truth is that they are human beings just like the rest of us. Any help that they can get to filter the talent they will usually appreciate
I wasn't saying that to bash Steve I don't have an issue with Steve at all. I was just saying he's went a little overboard on the Mullins struggling to qualify talk.Quote:

Yep. He's just wild & raw right now. Once Turner gets a hold of him he's going to be a good 1 but we don't have to rush him.Quote:

Haynes is 220 lbs and a 100% speed, edge rusher. OM now needs him to develop into an every down DE. Mullins isn't a pure speed edge rusher. He's a good rusher but his skill set is more conducive to being an every down DE. Should MSU get Marquis Haynes production out of Mullins year 1 (I don't see it), MSU fans should be thrilled. I'd like to see Mullins redshirt and jump on the scene next yearQuote:

I really look at Stevie's combine as being for the athletes more so than helping this or that school.
Pretty much what Beast said. Mullins is already 250lbs he's a 3 down DE while Haynes is only a pass rush specialist. I just don't see him playing this year.Quote:

We should always assume a kid is going to RS unless they are just a freak athlete. And we only sign 3-4 of those guys per year
Well, by definition, if it's helping the athletes, then it's also helping the schools they end up attending.Quote:
