Make me think that we are about to get some good news on Stevens.
Typically when we are about to get a big recruit or have something exciting/good happen in football Ole Miss opens up the wallets and pays guys to de-commit, flip or they get a public commitment from one of their private commits.
Just how they work.
When did the wallets ever close?
Neither of those WRs are going to OM.
People just don't seem to understand this; when Ole Miss knows they are not going to get a recruit, they negatively recruit against us and can be very per$ua$ive.Quote:

Wonder when we are going to guy equal to theirs?
LOL Please. We probably will get Stevens, but it's not like that's a huge get. We lost these recruits because we lost them. That's it.
I can’t follow recruiting like I used to because these kids are insufferable. Respect my decision and then commit and decommit multiple times every cycle. It’s pathetic. The kid that commits and sticks or keeps it open until signing day are relics. I blame vaping juuls, skinny jeans, and mumble rap
And get off my lawn you young whipper-snappers!!Quote:

We have no one to blame but ourselves for glorifying the kids as much as we do. People are so hungry for football that we created this monster. I love em but I do get sick and tired of the attention grabbing and all about me social media posts from the kids that get recruited. If you are good the tape will speak for itself and in the win loss column.Quote:

Lmao. Recruiting now and 2010 are 2 totally different things and what it is now is disgusting. The kids are addicted to the attention and the adults drooling over their keyboards would legit watch a high school underwear olympics cough cough I mean combine. Multiple things are true: I’ve gotten older, it’s changed, and it no longer for me.Quote:

Per the late great Yogi Berra, "If they don't wanna come, you can't make 'um." At least I think he said something like that. Hail State and let me know how we look in about 6 months or so!
And on cue a buddy sends me a tweet from a MS HS receiver w/P5 offers who tweeted “Blessed to receive a EMCC offer”. Lmao I shit you not.
As the kids say these days, ReTweet.Quote:

It is just May, and some kids just like to have fun in the recruiting process, which some on here can't understand.

The fans are the biggest ones to blame. The hats are only on the table because people like us talk about it all year long

If all recruiting followed a similar path to Baseball I would like that. No drama just kids committing and either going pro or coming to school. Current FB and Basketball Recruiting is at a level that is unacceptable for a chance at a good player.
