2021 MSU Football Recruiting Discussion Thread

Not convinced that Hampton or Toles are really SEC material but at some point you have to sign the best you can get.

Hampton is an SEC athlete. We'll see if he can play DB

[DEDawg]

Jay Hampton is in the boat per Twitter

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

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.

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

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.

The fact that we are talking Hampton now tells you everything you need to know about where our recruiting is.....in the ditch!

I feel like we have signed a lot of these ?who the heck are they? kind of guys at the last minute over the years, and have hit on more than you would think. Local kid that?s apparently a heck of an athlete, I?m all for giving him a chance. We need DB?s.

best 2--Jenkins and Billy jackson

I would think that if our staff thought that Toles was a legit SEC player that they wouldn't have dropped him period in the first place.

Yes obviously. Toles is not an SEC player

[Ari Gold]

Recruiting effort by the staff wasn’t the issue...
Flips by kids in the 23rd hour has zero to do with effort from this staff. If anyone doesn’t understand what happened there then it’s best you don’t even worry with football recruiting for next year

Do we need to hire more recruiting guys in the football program.. **** yes.. There aren’t enough Pat Austin’s on the staff.

The only kid out of the 3 I feel bad for is Nabers.. the other 2 Strong and MJ they can **** off..

Saying that, you all act like this class is bottom 50 in the country.. shit we still have room for Half a dozen or so guys
Anderson 4 star and Cooper 3 star.. will get one should get both
Perkins a solid CB that will help day 1.. odds in our favor..
With OM basically out of spots and money If Hunter wants to play in the sec he will be a State

There’s four guys we need to close.. and hopefully the portal is finally good to use.. we have one that should be in Charlton.

Yes would have loved to kept the 3 we lost. But wouldn’t it be karma at its best if Hampton has a better college career than MJ.... he was damn sure cheaper..

[Tough Dawg]

Logic and reason. Quality stuff.

And not to say it will happen, but how many times have we seen Jay Hampton's turn into legit players? Quite a few times. OM got CJ Johnson, we got McKinney. That is a win. Taveze Calhoun was a last minute sign. Elgton Jenkins was too, I think. Pretty sure Deion Calhoun was at the end as well. Heck, there are more that I am forgetting. MJ may become the next Johnthan Banks and Hampton may never get past special teams, but we have seen this work out before. We just have to hope Leach can develop like Mullen (or close to it since I think Mullen develops talent as well as anyone in the country).

I think there is an appropriate time to sign a player lke Hampton....IMO the early signing period ain’t it...legit recruiting staffs push kids like that off till February and concentrate on bigger fish....just tells you we got more spots than quality prospects

Its not like we used our last spot on him. We still have plenty of spots for any bigger fish we can get in the net.
