2021 MSU Football Recruiting Discussion Thread

[1bigdawg]

One problem this year was that Tony Hughes could not go on the road and recruit. We probably would have a couple more guys signed except for that.

Combine that with it being a down year in Mississippi and we are where we are.

I believe we will do much better in future years with this staff.

This. I think we will be 20-25 on good years and 25-30 on lesser years. We have never really recruited much higher than that. Our best class under Mullen and Moorhead was what, 18th or 16th?

[Uncle Ruckus]

Isnt this supposed to be a recruiting thread?

[Cowboydawg]

I don't want to do it at an Ole Miss 2013 level. I want to do it as a protect MSU thing where it's Ole Miss offered this in state guy and his family 10K...OK we can match that.

That and we should up our resources in recruiting anyway. I don't know why we don't with all of this money that we supposedly make.

What if OM, LSU, Bama, Auburn, A&M offer a MS kid $100k? $200k? Do we match that? I keep seeing $10k thrown around. We are off a digit there.

He gone

Yep and I keep seeing $10k thrown around by posters. $10k is not in the ballpark to get these kids. If LSU really wants a kid in MS...no matter the star ranking, we would have to outbid them. And more often times than not, that will be 6 figures...not 5. Or they have to really really love Mississippi State.

[Goldendawg]

Yep, believe it or not we spent that kind of $ in the '70's. The statute of limitations in out I'm sure, but I'm still not talking!****

What's become of IYOK? Anyone here got any real recruiting news on targets we are in good shape on or might actually sign in Feb?

6 spots left.

Deonte Anderson, Ty Cooper, and Calvin Johnson are still primary targets. Gonna hit the portal for a couple of spots. That's really all the news that's left at the moment.

Thanks much. What's the deal with Johnson's rating?

Just hasn't been updated yet. He'll probably be a high 3 star

But, but, but the kids should be paid!!! ****in 6 figures on potential to run fast and jump high? When I die I want to come back as a two time fired P5 coach or a 5 star player. Both are lucrative even if you aren't successful.

The last update would have been on signing day, but they skipped it because of everything else going on. Him and the new db committ will get new rankings.
Like others said - Johnson and Cooper are the two biggest needs. Anderson is already in the boat. Offered a freshman juco OT the other day that we have a very slim chance on - he?s already in his 2nd year post high school, so he could realistically be 25-26 when he graduates. I?d take him all day every day.
The other few spots are going to be transfers more than likely. We?re really banking on Johnson and Cooper because we don?t have any quality hs guys interested in us at the positions that I?m aware of. I?d like to see us find another corner, but the pickins seem to be slim

UPDATE - Sawyer Robertson's season ended this past Saturday.

Here's the highlights of the game for those who care to watch. Red Oak HS is loaded as was Coronado HS (Sawyer's HS). What a game.
Coronado's season ended on a blocked XP at the end of double OT 42-41.

[KOdawg1]

With Deonte Anderson in the boat, our class jumped from 38th to 33rd.

[Hambone]

Don’t we have one signee without a ranking as well?

Yeah, but it won't be too high. It might move us up a spot or two

Nice. Do we have some likely pulls to push us to 25ish?
