2021 MSU Football Recruiting Discussion Thread

Nah, it's the best

LOL, you are something else.

I'd take a Matthew Butler, Terrell Grindle, Kelvin Love, or Larry Huntington over any guy in this class. And yes, that includes Teddy Knox.

Sadly, the fact that we held onto Teddy Knox makes me question his talent.

WR class is solid. You guys are wrong on that. I'm talking OL.

I'm not a fan of the Juco guys we brought in.

Somehow I'm not that bummed about losing Nabors. Moreso on Strong and Daniels. Our luck with LA WRs lately that weren't offered by LSU has not been good. In fact, was trying to remember a good WR we've ever gotten out of LA? And I don't really count LSU coming in as a late add because they got a couple of guys flipped a real offer. They signed Nabors more to keep us from getting him than them really needing him because they had a left over scholarship. Another reason I hate that there aren't fewer scholarships available per year. Strong and Daniels though are instate guys we should have been able to hold on to and they are on defense where we are starting to really need some help. In fact, unless I misunderstood, Rosebowl said Strong grew up an MSU fan, but yet we still can't get him signed when LSU comes in late? Not good.

This is a sad statement, but it makes you wonder

When we lost Strong, we lost a 2021 starter on our Defense.

Jay Hampton is in the boat per Twitter

I don't mind taking him. He seems to be a good athlete at least. I just don't understand taking him right now. This is a guy you could get at the very last minute in February. Seems like we've could've explored other options first.

We made a mistake dropping Brendan Toles.

man... if we're just taking kids to fill spots I wish we'd just go get the starkville RB

Taking a one-cut back that fits this offense in no way doesn't do us any good. To quote Steve Robertson, "You don't lose because of the players you miss on. You lose by signing players that can't play." Or something to that effect.

We?re using Steve as our source of truth now? Oh boy

All I?m saying is it seems we?re just taking whoever now to fill the class may as well take the hometown kid. I just can?t figure this one out, we could have him in Feb why sign him now?

The way we are recruiting, we may not be able to sign him in Feb. We are in desperate need of bodies in the secondary. Bird in the hand and all..

You better be sure he’s better than any young cb you could get in the portal

Losing Strong was easily the worst.

Daniels is immature & comes from a losing program. Not a great combo

Nabers is just sucky bad luck. My hope is that things blow up down there & maybe some of these guys hit the portal.

Hampton is way more talented than Toles. Toles wasn't an SEC athlete. Hampton is.

I think Hampton's athleticism would've gotten him 15 new offers within the next week. We did the right thing here

[trob115]

Hampton was about to get several SEC/ACC offers. He?s at worst a special teams player.

There aren't many SEC corners that didn't play corner in high school. I can think of some guys that were HS QB's and the coach didn't want them playing both ways. But I can't remember a HS wide receiver only that became a starter at corner in the SEC. Amory's coach must really not believe in playing 2 ways, lol.

Check out his Instagram story. I don't think I can post a link to it. In short, CML sent him a handwritten note after the Vandy win talking about using him and his effort as a player as inspiration for the team.
