Saw tweet from Bulldog recruiting about not offering Korey Banks a 4* db. I don't go all in on recruiting so anybody with info on why weve not offered ? Think it said he was a MSU legacy kid

I am sure the coaches know more than we do and have a reason. I have wondered this as well.
I like him but he is a composite mid 3 star. We are tight at the position and waiting on Knott. Hard to see who we would drop for him although I do like him and would have probably offered.
He played WR this year & that's what most are recruiting him at. He's 5'11" 6' & we don't need another slot guy. We have Ross, Myles, Dear, & Mixon. He's committed to UNC but people are noticing him now because he got a couple late SEC offers.
Is Thomas still slot?Quote:

Thomas has practiced mainly outside since he's been here but now he's practicing at both. They think Thomas is very similar to Donald Gray.Quote:

Most negative people won't see Bama still offering WR as a good thing for MSU. They only plan on taking 1 maybe 2 more WR & the fact they're still offering guys could be seen as a positive about AJ Brown. Again that would be too much positive thinking.Quote:

That's going to put us around 35-40 on Scout. Maybe 30 or so on the composite.Quote:

Simmons, Brown, Kobe, Knott, Raekwon, Lashley, and Nelson makes this a HR class. i know we won't get everyone but if we even come close it's a huge class.

Are all 4 stars. Let's see how we close. We'll revisit this Feb 3rd. We'll see what the final score is.
This is what I was talking about yesterday. Kobe Jones is a 4 star as well that we are in good shape with. Do people not think he is a player?Quote:

Who assumes that?Quote:

He also was someone AU wanted badly. So, he was an excellent prospect despite his 3 star rating. Same could be said for Dak. LSU came in with the late offer. If LSU offers you, you are a good prospect. He had the TCU offer as well.
In this class, I'm struggling to see that 3 star that I get really pumped about. My 2 favorites would probably be Cam Dantzler and Spencer. I like Porter's potential too, but he's heading to Juco.
I didn mention Couch at all. He is an upper 3 star with a lot of offers and would help our ranking for those into that. Jones is a very good player and a 4 star which is all you were listing.Quote:

There's a very valid & smart reason for offering & probably accepting Hankerson's commitment. You guys want our coaches to play the game more & do more OM type stuff well this 1 of those times. We did it a couple of times in last years class as well.Quote:
