2021 MSU Football Recruiting Discussion Thread

Very shitty. Used the kid as Flip PR move .
But no one to blame but Pounders..

I don't understand why a team would do that to someone even their rival?

[Ari Gold]

Those 3 aren’t getting drafted this year .. and I doubt anything would change next year .,
Maybe they are looking past football.. come back get your masters for free
It won’t take any years off their pro career if they leave after the season or next year .. they will sign FA agent contracts anyway ... and try to stay in league as long as they can...

Again all 3 may not be back , all 3 may... I’m just telling everyone it’s a fact they are really considering it

This is true. They're good players but they're not slam dunks to be drafted.

I'm with y'all on this. Honestly this may be the worst thing I've seen them do to someone in recruiting.

Well tbh Dan Mullen did a pretty crappy thing to a QB several years back. I can't remember his name right now though.

Chason Virgil. Believe he dropped him about 16 days before signing day I think. Still, to flip a kid only to drop him a few days later is, to me, exponentially worse.

Yes- unfortunately drops happen. But at least in that case Dan and our staff helped him find another spot and we didn't try to stage some recruiting day flip and then say "never mind we don't have room after all- Merry Flipmas!"

I don't understand why a team would do that to a high school kid.

Me either and it should be used against them by every school going head to head with them for a recruit. Just a plain low class, shitty thing to do. Kids getting dropped or processed is bad enough but getting one to turn down a sure thing only to shit on them after they do, takes it down to a new level.

I can't recall anything as bad. I'm sure there is worse but not that I remember

And Mullen got raked over the coals by the media. I think Finebaum may have even covered it.
Kiffin just got a kid to flip, wore a Merry Flipmas sweater to a press conference, and dropped the kid the day before signing day.
We'll see what the media does but I don't expect anything to become of it.

You know the Clarion-Ledger won't do anything.

Probably not Todd, but you can bet every high school coach in this state is seeing this.

We've lost one recruit and you guys think it's the end of the damn world.

Nobody is acting like that, calm down dude. He makes a fair point, every single year we are trying to hold onto recruits that are committed to us all damn year

[Irondawg]

Strong was a pretty big stomach punch because we thought we had won that fight. Same with Nabers and MJ. Hoping we just go 2 for 3 in holding on.

I don’t want to lose Nabers bit at least we do have some other wr lined up as plan B. Secondary could end up really good or we could whiff a bunch.

[Cooterpoot]

LSU folks say Nabors sticks with us. MJ is fine per other players he talks to. We'll still have 4 or 5 ships to fill before Feb. Hopefully the portal is our friend and a Cooper and Johnson get on board.

Every school deals with the same thing. It's not just us. That's completely false. We're winning head to head with LSU on one guy and our in-state rival on the other. We've lost one kid this cycle that matters. That's damn solid!
