2021 MSU Football Recruiting Discussion Thread

[Westdawg]

Alright, I've been digging for MS diamonds since the Calvin Johnson official offer went public. I don't know CJ personally, but I have some truly great close friends who have a son that is a senior teammate of his, and I've heard about the kid for a couple years. This is a high IQ, super great kid. And now that I've watched some HUDL, he's been consistently really good on field for a couple years. He's just a kid that has been overlooked until now. I really hope we land him.

Now, here's a couple others that are at least worth discussing.

Colom looks like Brandon Holloway

I watched Colom in person a few weeks back. Kid can play.

In this offense, that's not a bad thing. I would have loved to see Brandon get some of those passes in the flat - dude could straight scoot!

Yes he could Damn Mullen used him wrong!

Colom isn't an SEC guy and is behind several RBs in MS.
Holiday certainly isn't better than the two QBs in the MS//AL game. That's laughable.

Colom could be used as an effective 3rd back in this offense. He also wouldn't be a bad option as a possible 3rd CB. He fits more of an ATH than as a RB
And for Holiday, I'm not speaking about him regarding his abilities as an ATH/DB rather than a QB.

Both are way too small. Neither have elite speed/ability to make up for that size. Holiday should stick with baseball. They don't play a very good schedule in HS either. Nice small school HS players and nothing wrong with that.

Here's a recruiting battle we need to win. If we land him and Cooper, then it'll show me our DL coach can recruit in this conference. He's already proved me wrong on his coaching ability. Hopefully he proves me wrong on his recruiting too.

I think so too, but you know Ole Miss loves to flip their own commits. Losing Smith and Cooper would be embarrassing for them.

Both Dawgs. Leach is going to get the defensive players we need. Wish we could get Calloway, but either way, we're going to be pretty good on defense for Leach's tenure. It's going to all come down the offense.

If he repeats what he's done other places, then we're going to be right there with A&M & Auburn consistently for #3 in the West with an occasional chance to compete for the West.

Calloway starts for us next year if we flip him.

Seems like we feel one of our WR commits is going to flip. My guess would be Buckhaulter. Which has a domino effect with MJ Daniels. Gonna be a bumpy few weeks.

Daniels isn’t flipping to OM...

Didn't say he was...

[ZedFedder]

Is there any chance that we just really liked this guy and wanted to add him, or is it definite that someone will flip?

I think he's a good player. I actually like him better than Buckhaulter. But for months, we've been told that the only way we'd take 5 receivers is if one was elite like Deion Smith. I think this is just precautionary. Buckhaulter and Nabers are shaky, so we don't want to be caught flat footed.

Agree. I think we wanted to wait till February to sign this guy, but my guess is that he was getting too many offers to sign early from other SEC schools & we simply couldn't take the chance of losing him.
