THE 2020 MSU Football Recruiting Talk Thread

[Goldendawg]

Amazing how other schools always seem to acquire that power.

The "Infernal Daily Journal" of Tupelo even ran an article about it on page 2 of their sports section the next day. I don't subscribe, but we get it free at work. I have been trying to get my 81 year old Bulldog Mother to drop her subscription, but see still likes reading news in print in the mornings. I put them right up there with the Jackson "Carrion Liar".

LSU is cleaning up at wr. They now have 3 of the top 8 WRs. The crazy part is only 1 is from Louisiana... 1 from from California and the other from Washington DC.

On paper this is looking to be the best LSU class I've seen in a while, and that's noteworthy.

Simply amazing how they do that when they struggle to throw the ball. Simply amazing.

Well they can show several big time receivers in the league. And they play the game as well as anyone. Add those together and you have a recipe for success!

I'm going to go out on a limb & guess it's a good bit more than that...

Kids around the country dream of playing in tiger stadium. LSU puts tons of players in nfl (2nd in current nfl players to Bama). Does LSU cheat? Hell yeah, everyone does, but this isn't the main reason they're loading up imo

I think the mystique of Tiger Stadium has died some but its def still one of the most well known brands in the country. I dont think anyone fears LSU the way they did in 2000 to 2011. That was a hell of a run for them

As long as they have 90k attending the game it will be a special place.

Mike D was talking on Bounds show about how this year they decided to recruit more nationally and how it's paid off. I'm sure they use the same plan of attack as the other big boys.

Recruiting nationally is good for us

It is if we can focus more on LA - it's been good to us over the years but last year we struggled there some. We could probably use a coach somewhere with strong LA ties if we don't already have one.

Looking over the sec, only 3 teams (us, om, and vandy) don't have at least 2 composite 4-stars. If you go by avg per recruit, we're 13th in the sec. We are 5th in the sec, but it's just a numbers game right now... we have 2 more commits than every team below us.

The good news is there is a long way to go. I do wonder how many 4-stars we will be able to get with such a limited number in miss and most of them trending elsewhere. Who are some OOS 4-star guys that we have a legitimate shot at?

[Homedawg]

So sending guys to the NFL, and playing the game(i.e. cheating like hell) isn't enough? ok they are a top 10 or 15 program. How's that?n It's not complicated.

Heck, everything in football in such an uphill struggle for us with all of the recruiting hype to deal with and the extra incentives we don't see to offer as freely as some. Even when we get a guy and he is excited to commit it seems 2 months later he is ready to decommit to "weigh his options". Guess we are not even the favorite to get McKinley even with all of the first round DL we've had lately plus him having a former MSU football player as his HC and us signing his teammate this past class even though he was somewhat of a reach to be given an SEC football scholarship.

Doesn?t seem like we?re even in the mix

Nah. My guess is that it's more than that.

Football recruiting is endlessly fascinating to me

[KOdawg1]

Diwun Black announced that he's headed to Juco instead of UF, like most predicted. He said "I wasn't post to graduate" so there's that. We'll get another chance to recruit him I guess, but I think he's burned all bridges with us.

[Bothrops]

Diwun Black's trips to the UF campus are history. He was a spike for their recruiting rankings for much of the last cycle, and nothing more. I hope he gets the help he needs.

Jo'Quavious Marks trending MSU, his verbal announcement is Monday. Paul likes it. What do we know?
