2021 MSU Football Recruiting Discussion Thread

[Ari Gold]

With CJ
No one should give this kid ANY shit about going to Northwestern or Duke.. Hell I personally thought he should stick with Navy.. kid is beyond smart is this decision is strictly based on his future after football.

Saying that would love to have him at MSU...
The staff has done a great job after early signing day ... we won’t be left empty handed if CJ goes elsewhere..

[Cooterpoot]

I'm not worried about CJ. He can do what he wants and we'll be fine.

Steve has pirate flag flying, can someone confirm who it is?

[William Tecumsah Sherman]

Hargrove likely.

Agree... but we will have some that will be bent out of shape just to be bent ...

[KOdawg1]

CJ would be a good player but him going elsewhere only stings bc he's a great student/kid and in our backyard. He wouldn't contribute soon or anything.

I still want him though because we need kids like him on our team.

Also, if I wasn't going to State, I'd just recommit to Navy over Northwestern or Duke, but to each their own.

Looks like the “shitty” class has slid its way into to the top 25. ( with only 21 commits )

With a transfer DE, with experience with a couple years left to play
A transfer ex 5 star CB with experience with a couple years left to play
A transfer QB with a ton of experience that will push for the starting gig
A transfer power 5 WR with experience with a couple left to play
And we still are expected to sign Cooper and one more DB

[Cooterpoot]

Should finish about where we normally do. I figure about 28ish. Good thing is we did well where we needed to minus DB. Should be able to get inside that too 25 in the future and hopefully top 20.

I appreciate the maroon glasses, but if the transfer QB wins the starting job were in big trouble

You are welcome..
Maroon glasses.. ??? What’s maroon glasses about this post?
And JA pushing Rodgers for the starting gig is only a good thing... whoever ends up the starter..

Green > MJ

No way to know that. Greene has only started 8 games in 3 years. Only has 1 pick. That's not exactly proof. He's a wait and see. Gotta hope reuniting with his old coach and a change in scheme helps him. He's obviously got some ability to be as highly rated as he was.

It's a wait and see for every recruit. No one knows how they will perform once they hit the field. However, Greene is more skilled than MJ.

MJ ain't all that great either.

[Walkerhill]

A big difference might being buried on the bench at a blue blood vs having an immediate opportunity here. Just sayin’.

A high recruiting ranking is not a guarantee of future success.
Stats when you are not playing are kind of irrelevant.

Both are true. I do think since this is literally the recruiting thread to stretch at one projects better than the other based on rating is in bounds.

I know we tend to think of Texas as over rated - but go look at the 2 guys who played ahead of him this year - a 4* Sr (thompson) and a 4* Jr. (Jimison), and 4* Jr. (Cook) who split time with him in '19 Texas has been deep in CB's. He did start 7 games in '19, and if he was dinged up this year, it's easy to see how you can fall down to 2nd string with the talent on hand. That program has talent and depth we wish we had - and can't get out of their own way.

If you asked Coach Washington today
You can have Green for 2 years or MJ for 4
The answer is Green ... trust me ..

That's assuming that MJ is actually somewhere four years and doesn't leave because he wants to be recruited again and people to respect his decision.

Thanks goodness we landed Green b/c this DB recruiting is.....

[Cooterpoot]

We're about to miss on 3 of our final four DBs. Maybe all four. DB recruiting has been a shit show.
