Ok.

So are we not getting Key or are we dropping Greek?

We're still recruiting Keyes.

IYOK, who do you currently think makes up our WR class when it’s all said and done?

I think it's a little early to say for sure.

We expecting good news today? Dave Emerick is back at it on Twitter & that usually means something is happening.

Looks like we're getting a new commit.

Anyone know who it is?0

[ShotgunDawg]

The new commit is Cortez Eatmon he was at a Kansas JC & has transferred to MGCCC.

He's a 6'3" 190 lb CB, which is a big ass CB.

Not sure if we are wanting him to play safety or what because if he can actually play CB effectively in the SEC at 6'3" 190, he's likely a high draft pick.

That being said, he looks really athletic twitchy.

I've never heard of this & have no clue what we've got here. He's unrated, which could be common this year & actually help us get better players assuming our staff can evaluate.

Hard for Bama, LSU, etc to not offer a mid 4 star so they can get low 3 stars & unranked players that may be better.

Man this staff are not missing a beat with talent. It's nice!

[MetEdDawg]

Kid has a solid offer sheet. Claims offers from Georgia, Auburn, and TAMU. I don't see anything from his recruitment prior to going to community college on 24/7. Usually if they go juco you can see their prior rankings out of high school.

Anyone have any idea as to what he looked like out of high school?

[ZedFedder]

He signed with an NAIA school out of high school, so it seems he was a late bloomer.

[ShotgunDawg]

Is Miller talking about Eatman or someone else?

Eatmon was just rated an 87 3 star. That seems fair with little video, but is also potentially the floor of his ranking due to him being a 6’3” CB, which is absurd.

Yeah he’s got Richard Sherman measurables. Don’t see that often anymore

[msu15]

Love it. Lennnggggttthhhh

[Bothrops]

Huge get. This kid is a talent for a CB.

[ZedFedder]

I don’t know if he had commitable offers from the other schools, but the fact they were interested says a lot. I won’t be surprised if this turns into a Montez Sweat situation where we got on a really good player early. Nobody knew this until he said so after he signed, but Sweat had offers from LSU and Florida. He didn’t do media so nobody knew and we got a first rounder as a three star.

This.

Looking at his video, at 6’3” he’s got good twitch and explosiveness.

With those offers, I wouldn’t be surprised at all for him to be a 4 star, but remember JUCOs have their grades decreased.

Sweat was a 3 star and Abram like a 90

This kid is essentially at least low 4 star talent that was just given a default ranking. There are guys like this all over MS jucos. There is probably as much unknown out there as otherwise.

Vick Ballard was also a 3 star or maybe 2 star lol. Same with Chris White who should have been a consensus All American in 2010. What a damn farce.

Yeah. 247 struggles with JUCO guys because they’re hard to compare to a HS schooler due to age and they get far less hype.

That being said, they’re our bread and butter.

I get why they’re underrated but it is what it is. It’s also why we have the capacity to some years put a top 10 type roster on the field when our recruiting rankings say otherwise.

Our connections with the JUCO coaches allows us to evaluate these players better and quicker than other programs.
