All signs point to OM.
Daniels up next
Lol, the result of the Egg Bowl only matters when we lose it
Yep MJ is gone as well.
The Reese commit was to replace Pounders... The staff must have figured he was wavering....
The egg bowl result has jack shit to do w anything as far as a recruit.Quote:

Pounders no biggie..
Daniels very big deal if he isn’t in our class..
if this staff loses MJ, I'm going to officially have massive concerns about whether or not they have what it takes to win in this conference
For about 3-4 hours, then you'll start the cycle over again where our HC will succeed no matter what's going on.Quote:

At any rate, at least we're getting out on front of this instead of getting burned and having to scramble last minute to find someone or just roll the spot over.
I see and hear this a LOT. I assume you contribute?? Otherwise just be a fan a pipe down. I love the our boosters need to step up line..... while the one posting it does nothing..... and no I don't and won't pay a player. Got better things to do w my money. But I damn sure won't say others should step up when I'm not willing.Quote:

I'll repeat my post from above....Quote:

So it ends up a bunch of condescending comments like "yeah but you won't help" from others and I'm like no. But the people calling me out don't do anything to help the situation either.
And how many MSU fans are like me that would offer what they can but can't because they aren't given the information to the connections?
Where is the go fund me?Quote:

What do you attribute that to?
Not totally. Which makes the "well, why don't you step up" comments kind of hypocritical.Quote:

And then allowing good old boys to stay in charge of the compliance department while being out of date with current compliance in this era. Not holding lazy recruiters accountable in the past because we might "upset the coach".
Also we don't have enough boosters that are like "Dammit- we're getting that kid of Madison Central or wherever I don't care how much it costs."
Basically we're recruiting like it's 2008.
This.Quote:

I don't buy this because Cohen & Keenum want to win.Quote:

I get that he's an easy target, but I just don't buy him as the problem.
And there is a very simple solution. Hire a group that only does football compliance and let the good old boy handle everything else. Problem solved.Quote:

I'm not saying that Bracky IS the problem, I'm saying he's a symptom of OUR problem....that we refuse to get serious about playing the game the way it's played. If we were serious, we'd hire serious people who have experience with such things.....not buddies/friends of the program who are "all dawg" and love MSU. That only gets you so far.Quote:

That's why I'm saying it's a we don't know HOW to win issue. If we weren't serious about winning we wouldn't be pumping the money into facilities and coaches like we are. I believe we would pump more money into recruiting if we knew what to do. There's more to it than hiring a few coaches that "know high school coaches."
We won't play the game well enough. You dont know my situation so you can pipe down. I'm not complaining. I'm making a statement. We won't play the game so there is no need complaining when we we lose recruits. Either people with connections get better at it, or we will keep having the same conversations like we do every year before an upcoming signing day.Quote:
